Eric, Hrdgain and Widdoes2504---
I didn't mean it to sound like anything anyone has to agree with or not agree with. There's no right or wrong.
I simply stated that my posts are based on assuming that the goal is Hypertrophy. I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that that was what we were talking about. Neither approach is good or bad. Frankly I think it's great when people just do something.
When you get down to such minute specifics that we're discussing you have to base it on one or the other. In the bigger picture there's not that much difference.
I think you will all agree and especially Eric that there are different approaches depending on what your goal is especially when you're getting this specific and detailed.
They're not mutually exclusive either. Either goal brings both strength and size but in varying degrees of course.
Just clearing that up. Neither approach is better than the other..just a matter of what your own goal is..
