The Creatine Report

There's a fascinating report called "The Creatine Report," written by Will Brink, that lays out the benefits, side effects, and facts about creatine in muscle building, fat loss, aging, and stimulation of growth hormone production (interesting tidbit: it appears that creatine is as effective as intense exercise in promoting natural production of hGh.).

What are the implications?

Couple creatine supplementation with High Intensity Training (HIT) and maximize your muscle-building potential.

Back to My Old Standby: 3-Day 2-Way Split

Over the past year, I've done a lot of experimentation with different split routines. I've tried:

• 5-days-a-week, training one major bodypart per workout (not enough frequency)
• 4-day 2-way split, using the Push-Pull concept (workouts were too long)
• 3 full body workouts per week (I was pooped before I got to the end)
• 6-day 2-way split (too much frequency)
• 4-day 3-way split (this one was pretty cool but didn't offer the frequency I needed, but it's great if you have a weak bodypart and are trying to build strength)

Now I'm back to my old standard, working out 3 days a week on a 2-way split. I train Torso one day, Legs & Arms the other, alternating between the two every other day (like Monday-Wednesday-Friday). On weeks where I'm only training a bodypart once, I train HARD & HEAVY. Or maybe just HARD.

On weeks where I train a bodypart 2 times in the week, I may choose one day to train HEAVY, the other day with high reps.

There's a lot of flexibility built in to the system. During bulking phases, I just train with weights. During cutting phases, I add in cardio on off-days and/or after my weight workouts. It's pretty cool.

It's funny to me that I keep coming back to this split. Not so funny is that I make my best gains with this system. This is the system I used to pack on 60 pounds of rock-solid muscle in less than a year. I talk more about that at Hardgainer's Manifesto.
