jahman Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 i read about this method in a book and was wandering whether anyone has used it and got results from it?It involves doing 2 sets of 15 reps of 2 different workouts on a certain bodypart e.g arms bicep curls 2x15 to french press 2x15.you do this once every hour for 12 hours and it is supposed to increase muscle size by 1cm.so if anyone has used this method can you please tell me if it worked and if it is very effective.cheers jAhMaN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wynton Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 You may gain some size on your arms doing that due to the pump you get. But the size will be lost once you loose your pump. It's not an effective training method and I wouldn't recomend doing it. It probaly verges on overtraining anyway.

waldo Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I think you are talking about Charles' Poliquin's 12 hour total arm blast. Do a google, see if you can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Increase biceps by 1cm in 12 hours - haahaahaahaa :pfft: I believe Waldo actually has personal experience of this particular training routine and can give a pretty good account of the results. Ahhh, the innocence of youth - come on Waldo - fess up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldo Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Ah the follys of youth. Yup, four supersets every half hour for 9-odd hours if I remember rightly. A certain degree of intensity must be atained. The result....fecking sore arms, no miraculous extra inch though. Perhaps it would have been better applied to another area of the body where 'size matters'.Flex, you are a really funny dude sometimes :pfft: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markm Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 How many people would have the time for that sort of a workout anyway? :disgusted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I've seen this routine mentioned a few times, and have been tempted to give it a go, but I've never got around to it. Like Mark says, finding the time is a major problem. I should add, I wasn't planning on doing this because I expected to make great gains permanently - it was more out of curiousity about the pump. Anyway, thanks Waldo... you've saved me 9 hours! Incidentally, the 1cm gain sounds like a rip-off. The routines I saw claimed they could achieve a whole inch! :pfft: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldo Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 How many people would have the time for that sort of a workout anyway? :disgusted:Time? On a rainy sunday in a deserted gym. Was training with a good mate. We had planned it for a while, and If I remember right, was having a bet with my training partner as to who could get the abs showing by Christmas. I was probably 21 at the time, so was right in the thick of 'believe anything you'll read in a magazine'.We've all been there...doing Ronnie's routine thinking we'd look like him after six weeks. As I've said to a lot of people, this game is all about sifting the kiff from the buds. It's taken me a long time to learn there isn't a quick fix in this sport. It's about being on your game 24/7, something I still have trouble grasping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldo Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Failing that you could go to the local intermediate school and steal some of the young kid's t-shirts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varven Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 NO-NO you lads got it wrong. I have a new patented system to help improve the tight shirt look. Its called a beer belly. I have such a big belly, it stretches the shirt tight in the shoulders and chest area :pfft: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldo Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 According to Poliquin, you would actually notice some atrophy occuring before the extra inch was added around five days later. All I remember was some ridculously sore arms for a couple of days. No extra inch either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 If you trained like this to see if it worked, surely you would have thought to measure your arms before you started. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
