Here is a link where people can find contact information to todays top professional and amateur bodybuilders.

Bodybuilders

Someone better contact them quick to let them know that the way they have been training to achieve their impressive physiques does not work!!!. Someone needs to let them know right away that there are much better ways to train!!!

I apologize as well. I was under the mistaken impression that since the methods in the article have worked for me for 15 years and are the foundation on which almost every serious bodybuilder, amateur, pro, or recreational, has relied on for more than 40 years, and still relies on today, that this method of training actually worked. I'm just glad I had the opportunity for some in this forum to set me straight.

Thanks guys

Lots of threads on this topic lately, thought I'd stick it in here :

Good new article by Waterbury on his philosophy :

http://www.t-nation.com/readArticle....dra?id=1773659

This is basically the anti-failure training bible, advocating the 8x3 pattern. It's nothing he hasn't said before but very nicely summed up and explained.

The bullet points :

• Train with loads between 60-100% of 1RM.

• Each set should last less than 15 seconds.

• Perform the concentric (lifting) phase as fast as possible.

• Terminate each set once you notice the speed is slowing down.

• Use compound movements and focus on 25 total reps for size and strength.

• Use compound movements and focus on 15 total reps for maximal strength.
