hockey and soccer twice a week each takes care of the cardio, but i need to get some strength back in my core

It's not my imagination, it's where your goal is set in your gym. If you don't want to do isolation workouts, that's fine. I have 6days a week set to different body parts, it's how I like to do things. Burnouts 1 week, heavy weight one week, middle weight, light weight, 10/8/6/4 etc etc. Muscle confusion tecniques work the best that i've found, and isolation is the only way to ensure that. All up to you and your desires, sir~

isolation is more for body building than for athletic ability.

also while confusion is the best technique to see gains continue, doing it every week doesn tallow maximum of anything. Should be cycles - so that if you are an athelete you peak in power during the begining of a season and Max out on strength before the season.

every week just doesnt allow you to focus gains anywhere.

maybe i misread or took the statement to literal.

one week i do burnouts, one week i do 10 reps 4 sets, next week i do 8 reps 4 sets, next week 6reps 4 sets, next week 4reps 4 sets, next week 10-8-6-4 increasing weight (4 sets)

Same weight on all the other weeks. So It is a 6 week routine, I switch it up sometimes skipping the 8rep week into another burnout.

And I don't need a book to tell me what i've studied for almost 8 years now. I do what works for me, if you find something else that works for you, by all means don't listen to a word I say.

Weight lifting is all about the power you gain from the last 3 reps of a set and learning how your body responds to different workouts. It's learning from experience and trying different things, if you can get ahead at the beginning you're in good position to scratch out the bad excercizes for your body.

ahh ok i see what you are saying, that makes more sense than how I read it the first time. And I 100% agree that working out should be what works for YOU.

I've done both sytle body building style work outs and more athletic style work outs, personaly i like athletic style work outs ( power lifting movements, alot of full body cordinated movements) mainly because I can never even out my right side being at this point probaly a full two times stronger from my Muscular Dystrophy. Honestly its more about me not being frustrated as much when im working out. And I really can't do all that much with my chest muscles anymore so i just do push ups for that.

Todays was a simple fast paced work out, about 45 min minus some HIIT at the end with the jump rope and heavy bag.

4 sets of power cleans
4 sets of squats
6 Stiff leg deadlifts
3 Standing Military press
3 windmills ( to hard to even bother to explain) Mainly shoulder abs and hips involved

You could always play it off like you are purposefully trying for it. Kinda like the guy in Lady in the Water.

haha, that movie made me fucking laugh, what a stupid story line.

I do around 20 sets a day per workout for lifts, which means it doesn't include ab exercizes, running etc.

And like I said goosse, feel good look good. Do what works for you. I'm just saying what my goals are and what my very pleasing results have been.

I've been doing a body building style workout for several months now. I love the results and definition.

Very soon I will have a new workout partner. He has very little experience weight lifting. I was thinking that it would be best to change my/our workout to core lifts to build up his core strength before going back to a body building workout. Is that a good idea?

My brother has a hell of a herneated (sp?) disc in his back from deadlifts. Something about it fucking up his nerves so one of his legs goes numb randomly. Fuck those things :-x
