Bill Grant's Muscle Building Philosophy

The foundation of Bill's muscle building philosophy is for each individual to determine the balance of intensity-duration-frequency of resistance training workouts that will result in producing the fastest gains in muscle mass and strength. Early in Bill's bodybuilding career he learned that more resistance training is not necessarily better.

For example, early in Bill's career he experimented with following different resistance training routines. In fact during these experimental years Bill even trained side-by-side with Arnold Schwarzenegger, training each body part 3 times a week, and training 6 days a week. After just two weeks of using this routine, Bill determined that he needed more time for recovery.

So Bill eventually settled in to a 4 day per week training routine. Based on Bill's experience he also determined that most people have the recovery abilities that make this 4 day per week training routine best suited for them; about 70% of the people Bill has worked with over the years.

Periodized Versus Stagnant Routines

In addition to determining the training level of intensity-duration-frequency you can handle, your training routines need to go beyond following the same exercises, sets and reps week after week. In order to get your best results, Bill's webcast workout video lesson series will show you how to periodize your bodybuilding training program for optimum results.

Super-sets

      Another feature Bill's bodybuilding training program includes is the use of

super-sets

      . Bill maintains that using super-set training allows you to reach higher intensity training levels, getting the most out of your training effort. With super-sets you will also move your workouts along at a quicker pace, and perform more sets in a given period of time.

Based on Bill's personal training experience, all his clients have made good gains using this arms workout. Here is an overview of the basic arms workout:

Overview

      Do Bill's arm workout twice a week.

      • Follow the super-sets as demonstrated on the webcast workout video lesson, with the first set a warm-up set.
      • You can substitute exercises for a particular exercise if the training equipment used by Bill is not available to you.
      • Use super-sets for all of the arm workout exercises. Exercising biceps and triceps in a super-set makes your arms more susceptible for growth, and keeps them pumped up longer for maximum gains.

The arm workout uses medium intensity, 8 to 12 reps. Note that the biceps and triceps are trained with heavy intensity during the chest and back workout exercises performed on different days of the week.

When performing super-sets, keep in mind that when you are exercising your biceps, your triceps are resting. so this means that you only need a short period of rest between each super-set, about 60 seconds if your level of conditioning permits. If you are new to super-sets you may need a longer period of rest, until your super-set conditioning improves.

When you watch the web cast workout video lesson, Bill Grant will provide you with additional details and interesting information and tips from his 4 decades of bodybuilding excellence.
