Need a Fun Training Program - JP Fitness Forums

Charger · 06-30-2005, 09:00 AM

OK, I busted my hand up and wasn't able to lift for 6 weeks. After being back in the gym for a month I haven't been following a program. Basically I just go and lift things that look heavy, then repeat. I know I should be on a program, but I need something different. I was getting bored of the same types of programs I've always followed.

So I'm looking for a new program that I can have some fun with. I've done HGM, Turbulence Training (may go back to this one), and half of Max-OT (this is when I busted my hand), and a couple others from Men's Fitness.

Anybody have some good programs, that can direct me towards? I need somethign that's fun, so it will keep me going back to the gym.

I can highly recommend Book of Muscle. Ian King workouts are always challenging. Lou Shuller's witty writing is a plus. And, let's face it. It's the challenge that makes it fun.

I second the old "wise" guy!

just one question, doesn't it take long the complete those workouts?

OldGuy · 06-30-2005, 11:08 AM

Not at all. I've completed them in 30-35 minutes.

They kick ass.

Newlife · 06-30-2005, 11:14 AM

Yup, I do them with a partner, and at max it takes 40-45 minutes with proper rest periods.

I highly recommend the Waterbury Method.

You really feel these workouts and get a good sweat going by the end.

seriously? it looks like it takes forever with that 10x3 and then 4x6 and then again 4x6 and again if I remember correctly..

OldGuy · 06-30-2005, 12:09 PM

The 10x3 takes about 12-15 minutes to do (sets take 5 seconds with a 60 second rest between sets). The 4x6 are done as supersets with a 60 second rest after the superset.

Brutal.

I would recommend the TT, but it sounds like you've tried it before so you know how fun it is. Craig's got new and improved programs all the time so it may be worth another look.

why not give westside for skinny bastards a shot,i did it and enjoyed it just add an extra leg day?its good for getting the muscle out i gained alot doing that program for 6 weeks until i moved onto full westside training?

Doug M. · 07-01-2005, 11:10 AM

try S2B....its a really good one and i find it fun....order the book and follow the diet for best results..(of course i didnt follow the diet..im 15....all i do is eat)....its a good one and its different than most of the ones ive used...ive never done BOM or Waterbury, but i probably eventually will do them too..

well some of us have to wait till July 15 before we get our copy of S2B! (sometimes I wish I lived in the US instead of Belgium, ofcourse it doesn't happy very often [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

BRITISHBULLDOG · 07-01-2005, 03:53 PM

Was the typo on purpose?

LOL

igunick · 07-01-2005, 04:34 PM

yes BB, but I found out it was cheapier buying it from the french amazon then the british. But it takes 10 days before the book is available at amazon.fr, so I'll have to wait a bit longer [img]smile.gif[/img]

I just finished ABBH and am thinking of going for BOM workout in a couple of weeks. Well see how it goes. Waterbury's ABBH deffinitely gave me some good results though.
