Jag tränar efter ett egenkomponerat program som bygger både styrka och massa, och andra som har provat mitt program har fått bra resultat.
Här är delar av ett mail som jag skrev till en snubbe i USA som ville prova programmet.
"Just a note,
I want to make it clear that I ONLY do eccentric or drop sets. Rather than doing
a straight set, I'll rest another day.
You always need a flashy name for a new training style. So that's what I came up
with...
Zack Attack... LOL
It incorporates Yates-style bodybuilding to powerlifting. Also, I do a lot of
eccentric. Dorian never did that.
Right now I can't do squats or deadlifts due to a hip injury. I can do
benchpresses. Therefore, I only do one massbuilding excercise for chest and
triceps. For the rest of the body I do two excercises each. I pick whatever
excercise I feel like doing. Variety is good. Also, What differs me from Dorian
Yates, and in even higher aspect Mike Mentzer, is that I believe in splitting
the training as much as possible. Either a 5 day or 6 day split.
I always start my workout with the powerlifting part. First benchpress workout
is also my chest workout. I hardly ever do regular benchpresses.
I start up with a couple of warm up regular sets, 10 reps at 30-40%, 4 reps at
60%, single at 70%. Then I'll make an eccentric single at approx 80% of what I
can bench. After that it's time for my working sets. I'll do 3sets*2 reps with
approx 110% of my single max.
It's important to only lower the weight slowly the last part of the rep, where
you are only using your pecs. It should take approx 5-7 seconds to brake the
lower part of the rep. Let your spotter lift the bar with as much power as
possible, you shouldn't have to do any work on the way up.
After that I'll do 3*3 speed benchpress at 50% of my single max.
To finish, I'll do on one heavy massbuilding excercise, a lot of times I'll do
dumbbell flat presses, I only do partial reps, so I won't use the triceps at
all.
I'll either do a 1set*6reps eccentric for an excercise, or a 1*6reps-8reps+4reps
drop set.
On my other benchpress day, I'll do the same as my first benchpress workout,
except that I'll change eccentric to lockout benchpresses, and the massbuilding
to triceps. I still do the speed benchpress. It doesn't break down any fibres,
but it stimulates the amount of nerve receptors in the fibres, thus making them
faster, turning them from fibre type 1 to fibre type 2A or 2X (the fastest
type.) I have medical research supporting this, Umea University in Sweden.
The rest of the workouts I'll do 2 sets per bodypart.
Once my hip heals up, which I by the way injured during the summer, when I
overtrained a lot, I will do only one excercise for the back. My leg training
will consist of squats only.
I change days for my workout a lot, for example: week 1 I'll do shoulders on
wednesday, week 2 I'll do shoulders on monday, week three on friday. It all
depends on how I feel.
But I usually follw this schedule:
Mon Benchpress, Chest
Tue Leg (currently only calves, sometimes hamstring curls.)
Wed Shoulders (I always do some kind of Military press.)
Thu Back (sometimes also biceps)
Fri Benchpress Triceps
Sat Rest (Sometimes Biceps).
Sun Rest
A couple of good excercises that I would like to especially mention:
Chest: Partial rep flat dumbbell presses (using pecs only), Cable cross (can
only be done as drop set due to the design of the machine).
Triceps: Rope pushdowns
Back: Narrow grip pulldowns (this is probably my biggest favorite, it really
builds the thickness of the back).
Biceps (90 degree preacher curls, cambered bar, great doing them eccentric)
If I feel like resting instead of working out, I feel confident in doing so.
But when in the gym, I am going to be dead focused.
My goal is to be the individual who works the hardest in the gym, with the
highest intensity.
Please give feedback plus questions.
