Paul Roberts: Why 2x Per Week MAX OT (Every Other Week!) 

What split you use?

100%. I do 3-4 days per week and one week off every 5-6 weeks. At this point in the training career (18 years) that rest is incredibly vital.

Can u explain it more. Thanks

@@Walidwalidox18 Hi Walid, I hope this explanation helps. On Week 1 I work Chest (Monday), Traps (Wednesday) & Lower Back (Friday). On Week 2 I work Deltoids (Monday), Biceps (Wednesday & Triceps (Friday). On Week 3 I work Upper Back (Monday), Quads (Wednesday) & Calves (Friday). This allows for four rest days for recovery each week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday & Sunday). Therefore I work my whole body every 3 weeks and I’m still building muscle size continuously. The idea that you have to stimulate a muscle every 72hrs, in my opinion, is not correct. Mike Mentzer, a bodybuilder in the 1980’s, tested this theory and showed beyond all doubt, that his students could actually workout once every 6 weeks and still make substantial gains in strength and muscle growth. My workouts typically last 30-45 minutes in duration, I work each bodypart hard to the point of momentary muscular failure & finish there, following Mike Mentzer & Dorian Yates’s ‘Heavy Duty’ approach. I hope this helps. May your God bless you 🙏🏻

@@theguvnor7272 thanks, that was helpful, i already followed a lot of mike mentzer's programs (the ideal routine, the consolidation program...) but training to failure is not for me because my body can't recover even if take a week off, so i prefer training 1 rep or 2 reps shy to failure it allows me a better recovery and i progress better, thanks again your approach seems very good

What about sets ? and do you do various exercises on your chest day for example ?

@@oattoroddo3341 Hi, For larger bodyparts (Chest, Upper Back, Quads etc) I use 2 or 3 exercises per session for 3 sets each. My rep range is 8-12 Reps. I’ll start with a chosen weight for 8 reps x 3 sets. If I can complete that, then use the same weight for 9 reps at the next session. Once I can complete 12 reps at that weight in good form, I’ll increase the weight used and start again using 8 reps and carry on in this fashion. For smaller bodyparts (Biceps, Triceps etc) I use 2 exercises per session and use the same approach as above. I hope this answer helps. God bless you 🙏🏻

Bullshit, even if you use anabolics you don't need that much sets, 10 sets intensive>52sets

Sarcasm?

​@@steelphantom9105you're a true genius

52 sets per muscle every 10 days lol😂

I agree of you're on gear. Naturally you'll overtrain

Jeff Willett was a great bodybuilder!

@matthewcarbone2108 I think he would have won the World Championships wnbf this year I was at that. WILLET had a better physique structurally that most of these Pro guys.

Yes! Stay tuned.

Thank you! Yes spoke to him a few times actually. Unfortunately he's not open to it at this time, but maybe in the future. - Kenny

@@longevitymuscle I see, yeah I also reached out to him a while ago. Would love to hear him comment on his training philosophy. He's a brilliant guy.

@@longevitymuscle reach out to Jeff W ?

Willett was on 'roids

Once you stop making gains training that often though, what then? Would you be better training less.. Would you regress if you did?

How much muscle do you think could be gained naturally without steroids, if somebody trained hard, ate well and had optimal genetics?
