"The Truth" w/ Eric Broser (Q&A and Training Articles)

[bodyfx2]

How does this split look to you? I am thinking about hitting tri's/shoulders together and doing hams with biceps but this is what I am using for this week. Still high volume if that makes a difference to how I pair the muscle groups up?

Day 1.) Chest
Day 2.)Back
Day 3.) Off
Day 4.)Legs
Day 5.)Shoulders
Day 6.)Arms
Day 7.)Off

This actually looks fine for how you like to train.

Thanx in advance

Optimum Training!

I am 45. Will be 46 in feb.

I have NEVER used my age as a factor for anything, but I have to be realistic about growth and recovery for BB'ers that fall into the masters catagories.

Should training be approached differently?

I've gone back and fourth training muscle groups twice a week, and once a week. I seem to respond pretty well to either.

I've have also worked 2 and 3 muscle groups at a time. I've seen benefits from both of those as well.

However, I feel like I would benefit more from working once muscle group per day, and only once per week.

My nutrition and supplementation are in order. I feel like if I can go to the gym, and really plow one muscle group and not worry about having energy for another group would be of more benefit to me....

What you are thoughts..????

Thanks in advance..

Start with carbs only at meals where insulin sensitivity is at a high point...meal #1 and post training.

Later carbs can be added pre-training and intra-training.

Thx Eric, hoping to get a nice rebound with the training system.

Well, if you want a rebound of MASS, this is THE system bro!

Thanks, I wanted to make sure I had enough time to recouperate after chest and back b4 I hit shoulders and arms.

Eric you said to start with carbs morn and post workout would you then just add a carb meal every week until the desired number is reached? Thx in advance.

With the volume you are used to, you should have no problem.

You can do it like this, but just know that in my offseason I will only use carbs at meal 1, pre/intra/post workout. These meals should definitely contain at least 75% of your daily intake.

When you cut do you go completely Keto? Funny you only eat carbs in those meals, I am using Dave's bulking diet and I am not only making gains but I feel so much better then when I used to pound carbs and not include any fats in my diet outside of what was in the meat I was eating. I find i only need 300g of carbs even with training high volume to grow.

I hope Eric doesn't mind me responding here, but by eating carbs at those times (timed carb intake), you can insure proper carb usage. You will have much less of a chance of storing carbs as fat and utilizing them properly. This can allow for some very nice gains in a bulk, while allowing you to stay relatively lean.

In the other meals, I'm sure Eric supplements his protein with fibrous vegetables like spinach and asparagus along with EFA's from almonds or mixed oils.

Exactly what I do.... As long as I have fats in my meals, I do not feel hungry. I also feel so much better during the day then putting down 500-600 g of carbs. I just heard Denniss Wolf on No Bull and that is what he is eating so there is no reason for someone like me to be eating as many carbs as a Pro with a freaky metabolism.
