Bill said… - Hey Chuckzilla,
About being stuck on the bench press and deadlift. Will give you an example a way I overcome my sticking points....esp. the major lifts. Was working in the 8 rep range on my bench and overhead presses making progress...then...BOOM !! Effort intense = Zip progress. So lowered my rep range to 5 reps then did 4 weeks it...guess what....BOOM!!! Progress!!
So try it, then let me know if it helped...Most Important is to listen to YOUR body....it's Yours...so take care of it.
Best of Progress to you !!!
Bill

- By the way Chuck, my last comment meant I will never do drugs, like and Live for the natural feel of conquering and learning from the iron...nothing beats it !!!

- Hi Chuck,
Thanks man !!! Did a little but too many drugs in competition, so lift to learn from the iron, while enjoying kickass health too.
By the way, like the pic ~

Mario Fanzolato said… - To you as well Chuck. I could tell that you're extremely passionate about training. Your enthusiasm must be contagious because I just read your comment, and now feel like working out (even though I just returned from the gym) LOL.

- To a certain degree, I believe I have Chuck. I've tried so many different types of training over the years, but they were mostly spontaneous (and coincidentally contrasted with the philosophy of many of the bodybuilding & personal training "gurus"). I have to admit, though, that I don't usually stick to one method for very long. For beginners (and possibly even competing bodybuilders) I would suggest following a program strictly, but for everyone else I would recommend going with what feels right at the time. This is just my opinion, Chuck. There are some awesome trainers out there, with incredible results from their clients to back it up.

- You may not be able to walk... But at least you'll feel a sense of accomplishment. It's great to hear that you're training hard. Keep up the good work.
