If you can grow without a set plan in the gym then you are one of the blessed few. I'm sorry but it's just true. NOT having a plan is how the majority of people who spin their wheels in the gym for years on end do it.

There is so much wrong with that advice I can't even begin to speak on it. Do I think people need to pick a routine out of their hats and do it? No. Do I think they need to plan the progression in their training, set goals, both short term and long term, and reach those goals. Yes.

Some type of overload in the gym. Some type of stimulus that is greater than the stimulus before and that constitutes new territory in terms of the body's fitness is always better than "random acute assaults". The reason I posted is I had a feeling I knew where this was going. If you've had success with that type of "train how you feel" mentality then I am happy for you and more power to you.

I guarantee that a basic simple uncomplicated "routine" will put more mass on the majority of beginners and for the more advanced a plan of attack becomes even more important.

This all sounds very Weiderish...instinctive training, muscle confusion. Yeah right.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
