It would be good to meet up with a forum user to train with and share some knowledge, I haven't heard back from Billy yet, but hopefully he can make it.

I live in sheffield so Scotlands a right mission, if i'm ever up your way though id be well up for a session. Billy seems really keen to get a session in with you so i'm sure he'll be back to you, I wouldn't advice going pure gym though, if it's anything like the one round here it's a pain to get on anything in the weight area.

That zach king khan has just opened a gym in sheff I think, guy looks ridiculous! but I think it's invite only.

with the GVT I was planning to start at the beggining and just go through all the phases, Possibly a bad idea that could send me backwards like. I'd like to do the push/pull/legs you suggested but I want to get down to four days in the gym a week rather than five, sundays aren't an option for me as my gym closes. I just want a routine for muscle growth really over the next two/three months.

You could always modify the routine I suggested to make it fit 4 days:

Monday - Upper Strength
Tuesday - Lower Strength
Wednesday - Off
Thursday - Upper Hypertrophy
Friday - Lower Hypertrophy
Saturday - Off
Sunday - Off

I personally think that will do more for your progression at the stage you're at

Note: You'd obviously have to drop the volume per body part on the hypertrophy days from what I originally suggested though.

I am sure Billy will know a good gym, as long as it has free weights and mirrors I am happy.

Yeah Zach is an animal, I bet his gym is decked to the max, you need to find a way to get an invite!

Time for me to hit the gym now... toss up between my 2nd leg day of the week(usually only do one a week), or just brutalise the arms.... see how I feel when I get there.

Cheers, I most likely will do the split you've posted above. My mate does the same and he's making great strength gains. I have my own aims as far as strength goes and I won't be cutting until I meet them. 5 days in the gym has just gotten a bit much, its been great for the last two months but with my gym being so far away it takes up too much of my time.

Yeah, definitely need to find balance mate.

yeh he looks a complete beast, didn't even know he was from sheff. The gym i'm at now has more than you could ever want, really just a great gym. Switching from the sports center to a proper gym really has helped me a lot.

Trying to get me banned ? I did a porno and linked it on ESB, no one made one comment about my G-spot positioning service, because I am in proportion, you however, I am sure you're also in proportion

I'm not Lefty you moron
Maybe more than one person thinks you look shit.. because you do

For muscle growth he'd want more volume would't he?

Na you can definitely get enough volume on an upper/lower, the key is just not having redundant exercises choices in there. You've also got the benefit of the higher frequency.

I believe Lyle McDonald's generic training routine is also some variation of an upper/lower. I believe he also said between 2-8 sets per muscle group is sufficient under the aforementioned frequency. The way I've approached that in the past is simply picking a core movement and then picking an 'accessory' movement on the non-strength 'upper' days for each body part (e.g dumbell presses & incline flyes).

Only someone completely insecure and jealous would claim I look like shit, as the most objective person would just give me my credit where it's due. Ugly , no matter how much you wish it were true, is an alien concept to me, much like a gym and women are to you

Stick to showing old women how to run on a treadmill, look at you Lefty, who the hell would listen to you regarding muscle development? You look like this:

Scroll to the top of the page and look at your picture. Anybody can see that you're porky pig with no pecs and a receding hairline. That gaunt fella has bigger pics than you
Have you ever fucked a girl? I'm serious.

This was at 14.5 stone so a lot smoother here than now.

You look smooth alright

A quick poll, would anybody actually want to look like this guy?

You get smooth when you bulk, not that you would know about bulking pipsqueek

Show your pic again, where you're 140lbs and smooth, except for the 3 protruding ribs

It's hilarious you pick me at my heaviest during my bulk, and i would still murder you at that stage in any appearance poll.
