Training Once a Week


Hi James,

Thank you for the 10-8-6-15 workout, I've been staying on it for a few weeks now, doing it 3 times a week. But recently I have been quite busy with works and only able to do it once a week.

My question is, should I stop the 10-8-6-15 and follow your "Flexible Frequency" training in your 4th book?

I really enjoy reading your book Training for the Busy Bodybuilder. Actually I love it! Thank you for sharing!

Cheers,
Dat


My Answer: Glad you love the book, Dat. If you find that you're only able to get to the gym once a week, then by all means follow the Strength Training for the Busy Bodybuilder. That's what the book was meant for.

The "Hypertrophy Training for the Ectomorph" program is based on frequent training, because that is what the ectomorph needs. But if you can only train once or twice a week, then your schedule will dictate your training program. Your schedule doesn't give a rat's ass whether you're an ectomorph and that ectomorphs thrive on frequent low to moderate volume training.

So follow the principles in the Strength Training for the Busy Bodybuilder program and workout when you can.
