Hi

Has anyone ever followed the chris hart routine as ive looked over it a few times and would find it hard to work.

If anyones tried it how dis you find it.

Sorry - never heard of it mate, could you outline what it is for ppl 2 comment?

Will do so here goes

monday
press hehind neck 3 sets 6-8 reps
squats 3 sets 6-8
lat pull downs 3 sets 6-8 reps
flat bench press 3 sets 6-8
barbell curls 3 sets 6-8
prone tris 4 sets 6-8
calf raises 3x 12

wed
seated d/bell 3x 8-10
barbell rows  3x8-10
leg curl 3x8-10
incline b/press 4x6-8
barbell preacher 4x9-10
closegrip triceps  3x8-10

Fri same as monday and week after the reps are upted to 12-15 and so on as itssupose to shock the body by 1 week low reps the week after high reps.

your thought please

My opinion of that routine for bodybuilding is pants, but for someone just starting out very young i would say yes. If a person has never tried lifting weights before then it could be ok as a starting point to let your body adjust to the stimulas placed upon it.
When i was younger i used to do something similar, not at the gym but at home just to get the feel of lifting weights, as a serious program for mass i would definately say no, but for fitness it would be ok.
If its muscle you are aiming for then follow the training and diet program i have outlined on this site.

i agree, PANTS

shitty pants!!!!!!!!!!

wot were we talkin about again??

... i think it was muddy pants!

Thanks guys for that i thought same, yes i have some bb back ground but had an injury through work in 2000 that has kept me out of gym for 6yrs and have come back 5 weeks ago now i had all clear to do so.

At moment since coming back im going a 5day routine which is

CHEST
LEGS
TRI+BI
BACK
THEN BACK TO CHEST ON DAY 5 AND SHOULDERS GET HIT 1 EXCERSICE ON EACH TRAINING DAY.
GYM TIME IM IN AROUND 40-60MINS

Glad you have the all clear to train again.

As far as your training goes i would have a day off after tri n bi so you are fresh for back training!

After training back i would leave your chest until monday again so your body has time to recover!!

Also, training 5 straight days is way too much, even for me.

Remember, you are just getting back into it and on your program you will over train.

I did a similar thing many years ago when I was working away from home and could only get to the gym twice a week. The difference being I did the whole body each time.
Just tried it, it didn't do any harm but it didn't do much good either! Sort of stayed still as I recall.
I have tried many ways of training and I think you just have to find what is best for you. We are all different, react in different ways and you have to be totally selfish in this game and do what works for you.
My training partner does as I want, if he doesn't want to do a certain movement for whatever reason, injury, doesn't suite, he will do his own thing but we still spot each other. Its give n take.

Reaper.

I have no training partner, havent done for years.
Self motivation... and i talk a lot, to my self!

this is the same guy who rote the laymands guides

Mick Hart has been around for donkeys years, trained his son, chris!
Mick has done some VERY stupid things in the past and even admited a few things on tv a few weeks back.
He is knowledgable in certain aspects but i would never listen to him personally.

If YOU want to listen to him thats your choice, to each their own, and he charges... on this it is FREE!  

you mean we aint gettin paid??      

b*llocks. was countin on me xmas bonus from PJ.....

He said it was all in good faith and ALL proceeds was going to a charity of his mums choice!

The lying mutha f.....!  I bet hes spending it on ISOLATOR!!!  

well if its all goin to charity thats all right then.

means i dont have to pay the scrounging b*stards out me own pocket
