Joe Weider's Ultimate Bodybuilding


Joe Weider’s Ultimate Bodybuilding


$15.98


"This massive and authoritative Master Blaster book is the greatest bodybuilding book ever written, primarily because it is firmly based on the training principles of the Weider System of Bodybuilding, which have been followed by literally every bodybuilder in the modern history of the sport. I began developing my Weider System back in the 1930s and continue to refine and add new Weider Training Principles to it. You can rely on the information I present in this book to improve your physique. Good luck!" — Joe Weider On Instinctive Training "One of the most fundamental secrets of successful bodybuilding is getting to know your body and how it reacts to various training and nutritional practices. Unless you have finely honed your instinctive training ability, it will take many weeks, even months, to evaluate each experiment. It definitely pays to master the Weider Instinctive Training Principle." — Franco Columbo, two-time Mr. Olympia On Progression "The key to building massive, powerful muscles is to doggedly increase the training weights you use. But it is only good to increase training poundage if you do so in perfect form. There is a direct correlation between the amount of weight you use with perfect biomechanics in an exercise and the mass of muscles that move that weight." — Lee Haney, three-time Mr. Olympia On Muscle Confusion "Once I reached the advanced level of bodybuilding and started entering competitions, I discovered that I quickly became bored with a set training program. I began to use the Weider Muscle Confusion Principle, changing to a new and more challenging routine every time I came into the gym to bomb a particular body part." — Lou Ferrigno On Supersets "Since supersets constitute a big jump in training intensity, I always tell bodybuilders new to the Weider Supersets Training Principles to experiment with supersets, compounding movements for the biceps and triceps, or forearm flexors and forearm extensors." — Albert Beckles, IFBB World Pro Grand Prix Champion

arnold workouts

How long do your muscles need to recover between workouts?

That is one of the most important questions for any lifter – whether a newbie or a competitor. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the hardest to answer.

You’ve probably heard 48 hrs. Or maybe you’ve heard 72 hours. Some people even advocate a full week of rest between working each muscle group.

For this article, we are talking about resting particular muscle groups, not about rest between workouts (unless those workouts hit all your muscles).

In general, you probably need more recovery time than you think.

But all of the recommendations I make interact with each other – you can’t look at just one factor and say “ok, the ideal recovery time is X”. Some guidelines may trump others, so the key is to take this knowledge and start applying the ones that you believe will have the biggest impact on your particular situation. And then test.

One final note: don’t equate soreness with recovery. Whether you are sore or not, is secondary.

The Factors That Influence Recovery Time

There are tons of factors that influence how long you should rest your muscles between workouts.

Things You Don’t Control

Things Related To Your Workouts Themselves

Things You Control, But Outside The Weight Room

With all these factors, there’s no way to have a universal rule! But I’ll go into a little more detail on some of these.

Fiber Types – Genetics

You may have heard about Type I, Type IIa, and Type IIb muscle fibers. Well, we’ll skip the physiology class for now and let’s just call them “fast” and “slow” muscles. Fast muscle fibers are designed for explosive movements. Sprinting. Jumping. Powerlifting heavy weights. Generally, these muscles require more time to recover between workouts (and between sets, but that’s a different topic). The slower muscle fibers are designed for endurance activities – jogging, for example. And they take less time to recover.

We’re all born with a mixture of types. But some people are skewed towards one end of the spectrum or the other. The split can be anywhere from 40% to 60%, vs 60% to 40%. But that 20% swing makes a big difference between whether you’ll be a champion marathoner or an Olympic shotputter.

Age

The older you are, the longer it takes to recover. It can be more complicated, but let’s leave it at that. How much longer? Well, that depends on your workout. But it’s not like a 50 yr old takes twice as long to recover as a 25 yr old. It’s more like 50% longer.

Muscle Groups

Arnold used to talk about how his calves and biceps recovered faster than his back and chest. I’ve found this to be true as well but it is related to whether you are doing compound or isolation movements (see next section). And it is related to the fiber type issues above. It appears, in general, that larger muscle groups take longer to recover. But that’s not an absolute rule. Anecdotally, some guys will say that their smaller muscles take longer to recover. Those are the same guys who try to do bench press 3 days a week…

When you are just starting out, full-body workouts every other day are perfect. You hit every muscle group in every workout, or 3x/wk per muscle. That also means each muscle (in fact, your whole body) rests only about 48 hrs.

But the more experienced you are, the more you’ll need extra recovery days. That’s mainly because (presumably) you are learning to be more intense with each workout as you get more experienced.

Pro bodybuilders (especially the few that are all-natural) end up often resting each muscle 6 or 7 days before working it again. That’s why 3-way split routines, with lots of isolation movements, are ok for bodybuilders. But for the mid-experienced lifter, 72 to 96 hrs is usually perfect.

Your Program/Routine

In line with your experience level, you will likely modify your routines over the years. The worst thing any newbie or beginner can do is jump into split routines. You really need a full-body lifting program. That said, I’ll try to step off the soapbox and simply describe the effect that different routines have on recovery time….

If your routine calls for you to isolate particular muscles, then you can lift more frequently. As long as you use different muscles in each workout. For example, if you did legs one day, you could do chest the next day, then back the day after that, then shoulders, then arms, etc. and workout 6 days a week. In practice, that’s very hard to do in a pure isolated fashion. For example, deadlifts use a heck of a lot of your muscle groups! In fact, all of The Big 7 exercises hit multiple muscle groups.

The workaround is to do 2-way or 3-way splits. A 2-way split is usually upper body/lower body. A 3-way split example is legs/upper pushing/upper pulling. Or legs/chest/back. And some people do 4-way splits by adding in either shoulders or arms. (I recommend only 2-way or 3-way splits.)

So, if you are doing a lot of compound movements, or hitting multiple muscle groups in a single workout, then you need more days off for recovery. If you are doing more isolation movements, then your “recovery days” are actually spent working different muscles. Those really aren’t days off, so to speak. The distinction is less about how much time each muscle needs to recover – it’s more about whether those recovery days should be “days off” or not. Make sense?

arnold schwarzenegger films

Most of the films we watch tend to be produced by big companies and famous film makers that manage to get very impressive budgets of many millions of dollars. But only few people know about the other movies like independent films.

Independent films do not usually come from any of the major films studios like Paramount, Warner Bros or any others. Interestingly, independent films seem to be produced in more quantities outside the United States, probably because this market is dominated by the big companies.
Most people would think that if those movies are not produced by the major studios it is because they are not of good quality, which is not true. A lot of independent films are of good quality. Actually, it is not because a movie is made by a major film studio that it is a good film. So it is not because a film had a low budget that it will not succeed and be a great story to watch.

On top of all that, it is not unusual to see some of the famous actors you would see on some of the big productions actually doing independent movies from time to time. It does not mean that because actors in independent films are not all well known they are not good actors. On the contrary, some of them are very good actors and play well in those independent films.

Did you know for example that some of the films you all have seen or at least heard of actually are independent films? The Blair Witch Project, Fahrenheit 9/11 or even the passion of the Christ are independent films that everybody know.

Thanks to the development of digital media and cameras, it has become even easier to make independent films at a very low budget, and filmmakers are no longer dependent from the major studios to make their films.

Even if most of us have never heard of them, independent film awards have appeared. One well known award is the Independent Spirit Award that was created in the eighties and has been growing since then.

Nowadays, you can easily watch movies online legally on various sites. It is interesting to see that most free movies available to watch on those sites actually are independent films made with low budgets. So just find a site and catch up on independent films. You will certainly find some very good ones that will capture your interest.

The author knows a lot about websites where you can watch movies online, Free Films and Streaming Movies.
