What Is The Best Way To Get Big and Strong
Posted by admin on September 16th, 2009
One of the most common questions I get asked is “What is the best way to get big and strong?” Generally the person who asks it then looks at me expectantly and waits for me to give them THE SECRET. Unfortunately there is no SECRET unless you consider good eating, hard training and adequate rest to be THE SECRET.
Obviously appropriate exercise and weight selection and program design does play an important part but there is no one best way. Programs need to be changed regularly to ensure progress. As Charles Staley (the developer of EDT) says the best training program is the one that you’re not on at the moment.
I’m sorry that I can’t give you the ONE special exercise, technique, program that will make all the difference to your training. I can however encourage you to focus on the basic compound movements, limit yourself to about 25 reps for any exercise and don’t spend more than an hour in the gym. (There are times when these do not apply.) Couple this with good nutrition and adequate rest and you will give yourself a good chance to reach your training goals.
