Am i supose to rest if i have muscle soreness/DOMS

Explain.

I've known a few guys that have believed all the **** they learned at college and wouldn't believe any real world knowledge, they're all now doing other jobs...

 

So doing your level 2 in gym instucting and having a CYQ manual makes you an expert ah?

 

Wow. You really are utterly clueless. atsch

 

The average guy can train 3 or more times a week and make a huge difference to his body. WTF do you think you have to do to build muscle, lift a car or something?

Athletes generally have good genetics but the real difference between the average guy and an athlete is the time and knowledge they put into their training.

Anybody can make their body adapt to what they want to do but to different ability levels. Do you really think there is a huge difference between the average guy's ability to adapt and an athlete's?

 

The average 9-5 has time to go gym and workout different body parts everyday but can't do the training required to force his body to adapt .......... ok then
People forget that profesional athletes are NORMAL human beings who at 1 point where in the same physical condition as most of us. And btw i consider myself an athlete, as i consider all boxers who take the sport seriously

 

Mate, the guy is the result of out dated education and ignorance.

 

Are they still saying use machines until you get a strength foundation then you can graduate to using free weights if you feel comfortable with it? :rofl

 

Are you being serious or sarcastic? You actually believe that? I hope you don't. :rofl

If you're being serious you just proved my point for me...

 

Thanks for proving my point. Outdated bull****.

 

jheez maybe start at a lower weight? Instead of having a machine to support you while 1 muscle works. Guess what happens when you go onto free weights your stability muscles arnt up to scratch

 

Thanks, good read, makes some good points that make sense.

 

He's done quite a few articles on high frequency training. Go to articles - authors and click Chad Waterbury if you want.

 

Obviously you'd start with the bar and ask on a scale of 1-10 how difficult it was and slowly build up from there using whatever reps/sets you give them. Why would you force them to lift heavy weights? Try thinking...

Unless injured or disabled most people other than elite athletes can pick up free weights... Do you pick up the shopping, pick up your kid (if you have children), move furniture, it's all weightlifting to a degree.

What a waste of time. I've seen guys repping 400lbs on the leg press but put a bar on their back for squats with just 30kg and they fall on their arse. Machines don't do **** for free weights lifts.

 

Explain. I've been training for 10 years now and the only time I've had an injury is from rugby...

 

A noob wont be able to bang out heavy weights. How about starting at a low weight bench press to get form and technique right and then add the weights......
Have your "clients" not found balance of the weight difficult after doing machines for a month? Are they not able to do alot more on a machine then on freeweights? Wonder why? I know why and most people do aswell. And the answer isnt in any text book you read
