I have been listening to this, for the last few days, check it out!
+Patrick Sommer
I listen to the same workout motivation
Hey Patrick, I just completed level 10 on my first try.. but I thought it would have been harder to do the pistol squats. They just seemed kind of easy... (I'm not trying to rub it into any body's face) Would you tell me what the hard part was for you?
Lol I think I just answered my own question... since I am
ecto-mesomorph, I am very ligh in my upperbody. Plus I'm just 15 and don't even weigh a lot for THAT age which is already not a lot.
Also sorry for the non related posts above!
Jack, the PIstol Squats, might seem easier for you, since you do not weigh too much and your body is probably more flexible, if you havn't played a lot of football and stuff like that.
Level 8: Completed (again, building up that strength to stay in intermediate level.)
Great workout, once again I switched out Squats, for Pistol Squats, to work on that muscle and build it up, level 8 is perfect for that ,since the leg burnout routine also has normal squats in them, so you get to do those anyway.
Keep motivated, stay strong and don't let anything or anyone stop you!
Salute!
Patrick, you attempt level 10 again? I failed it 3 times already. :) I am stuck at the Around the clock and Chin ups, I barely get 3-4. I think I will have to do this level for a while to increase back/bicep strength.
In level 8-10, on average how many maximum pulls ups are you able to do? I think it pays off to be in the high rep ranges once you enter intermediate levels.
Sonu, as I wrote earlier, I kind of did actually complete level 11, but my from in "around the clock chinups" wasn't the best and I was in the low end of reps, in level 11, so ye, I went back to level 7.
Level 9: Completed (again, building up that strength to stay in intermediate level.)
I felt a little out of place today, tried to push myself, but didn't quite feel like I actually did, either way it was a great workout and I can't wait to beat level 10 again and then not going back to "beginner" levels.
Salute!
Hey Patrick, sorry to ask non-relevant things in your post, but you seem like one of the best to get advice from including Chris. My one question for you is how long are the workouts on average? I have maximum 1.5 hours to spend in a gym due to school and all, and I really want to make sure that I will be able to get all the exercises in. Thank you in advance, your posts are really motivational, bar brother salute from Canada. :)
Your workout should take at least and hour in the lowest levels and at least an hour and a half in the later beginner levels. Not sure about the higher ones but I would imagine a bit longer. Since you asked for Patrick I'll let him answer with his opinion.
Hello Tanbir
I find that in general, I spent around 1½-2½ (Maximum) in the gym, doing these workouts and I am glad that you find my posts motivating, so do I :)
I dont think you have to spend so much time for workout, i spend around 45 min - 60min for a single workout.
And i am not a true beginner, i am 7 month in and am able to do 5 muscle ups and made big improvements, since i started.
I dont think that it is necessary to spend 2 hours or so on in gym.
Janke, it depends on your goals, levels, your setup and so on. With this workout program, which is the forum you are sitting on, it most definitely is and it is worth it, if people can't stand spending too much time in the gym, then they really shouldn't go and are not serious enough, that is literally my opinion.
Hello Jack and Patrick! Thank you for your guys' input. So on average the workout takes 1.5 hours, that is not to bad considering I have to drive to and from the gym. How are you finding the program so far Patrick? How are your results? I am wondering if 3 days a week will be enough. I only have Monday, Wednesday and Friday to hit the gym, will this be enough volume to promote muscle growth? If any of you guys have any other tips or advice please do share. I would like to thank you once again Patrick, and Jack. Salute to all the members.
