Not imo. Especially since I don't have to be there 7 days.

correct. However, consider two things;

Firstly, he BELIEVES he's right -has 'evidence' ( body shape) .Beliefs shape us. Not talking about thoughts, rather beliefs, convictions. Secondly, 3-4 hrs for some, at the gym? just passing time. :)NEED to fill time in the course of the day. It works for some, and that's a good thing

My philosophy is instead of spending 1.5 hours at the gym 6 days a week doing a split workout. I spend around 3 hours 3 times a week doing a fbr
The total time spent per week is roughly the same as someone who spends 1.5 hours 6 days per week.

And if anyone says there is anything wrong with that I don't really gaf.

Its what I do.
It's what works for me.
Its what I enjoy.

Its a bigger sacrifice for me to go to the gym 6 days a week for 1.5 hrs per session then it is for me to go 3x per week for around 3 hrs per session.


I get hydro body fat tested every 3 months. I keep very close tabs on my lbm. I tabulate every single calorie I eat. I notice the slightest difference in my body composition. I can 100% assure you what I do is not a waste of time.

Pretty much.
Notice I did not criticize anyone for doing another way.

As long as you base what you do on sound principles there is a lot of ways to get there. The path is not linear

imo it best to get a trainer to start each person on the right program and then you can take it from there.....

Hey, do your thing Chop if it works for you.

At least you're actually going to the gym and active unlike most Americans.

The reason I originally noticed this is because >50% of the uptown Golds people play for the same team. Sick thought-but I'm good with it as long as no one messes with me outside of hard looks. Even then, i'm too even keel to let it affect me.
I do get looks in there-and I'm glad to have a ring on just to let em know. Even have guys asking about my arm size...really?
All in all though, working out with gay people is not too bad. Seems way less testosterone-y.

Full body workouts are generally for women, old folks, and people that don't know what the hell they're doing.

Nothing pisses me off more in the gym then when some fat slob with 20%+ body fat walks up to me(usually a trainer)tell me with 10.8% body fat telling me I'm doing it wrong. Lol
comedy at its finest.

It happens all the time.

Most trainers don't know what the hell they're doing! The reason why there's not a set in stone CPT organization. It's as easy as 1,2,3 to pass most of the test. ACE is a lil more hands on, but still easy as pie.

I think each worked muscle needs at least 4 days of rest. I can't do that by doing a full body workout 3X a week.

For the most part, I agree, and so does the science behind muscle function...
