Jean-Claude Van Damme Workout Tips
– Be very consistent in your workout so that your bodies readily adjust to the internal growth.
– The top cure for soreness is to work out on those same muscles the next days ahead.
realy?
ty v much
I like the way the body is cut up into its constituent parts, like doing the torso (chest and back together), the whole arms together (shoulders, biceps, triceps and forearms), whole legs together (quads and hamstrings). One thing I don’t quite understand, and I see this on other programs as well, is that I hear it is best to do the bigger muscle-groups and harder more compound exercises before the smaller muscles-groups and easier more isolating exercises. However, we have programs like this working the smaller chest area before the bigger and more difficult and compound exercises of the back workout. We have the shoulders and biceps before the bigger and more compound exercises of the triceps workout. And the chest and back before the bigger muscles and more compound exercises of the legs (squats, lunges, deadlift). If anyone believes there is a good reason for this, please let me know so I can understand this conflict of principles!
I really like the structure of this workout, but I was wondering..
Are you supposed to do ALL of the MWF exercises (chest, back, thighs, calves) EVERY Monday, Wednesday, Friday?
I’m not chickening out, but it seems like too many exercises over too little time.
I feel like they should be broken up over the course of a week (MWF) until you reach your goal for those exercises. Am I wrong?
Thanks guys.
