I don’t need to disprove alternate methods of training.  Boring you with the evidence that supports the methods advised in this routine is just sucking wind.  Addressing two of the more dangerous myths, however, is a valuable warning.  Stay focused, stay alert.   You need to hear this.

The strategy of “intuitive” or “instinctive” training is a myth in its finest form. This theory promotes the utilization of personal intuition and instincts to guide your training program.  Supporters of this method claim, that eventually, you will develop a “feel” for a suitable training program which includes a selection of the most suitable exercises.

This strategy is a farce.  If achieving optimum muscle gains from your training is your goal, working in direct opposition to your instincts is critical.  Following your instincts exclusively, will results in next no gains at all.  Remember, you gotta be smarter than that.

During any given workout you will need to overcome your persuasive, primitive instincts.  You need to approach muscle growth in a more scientific manner.  The satisfaction, not to mention the muscle growth, you will gain from proper training is truly incredible.  Turning your goal of fast muscle gains into a reality is the aim here.   In this equation, instinct factors nowhere.

Exactly what would happen if pandering to your instincts was an option?   During an exercise set, you would stop performing well before you stimulated any muscle growth. The human body is a homeostatic organism.  It will do everything in its power to maintain the status quo.For example, instinctive hunger pains precede your body’s actual need for food by several hours.

In the case of intense exercise, the body is quick to recognize the onset of a challenging workload.  It will do everything it can to prevent you from performing additional exercise.  The instinctual body dreads the point of momentary exhaustion. You must be aware of this destructive self-talk, so that you can push onwards to bigger gains and better gains.
