Can we talk about Naturally Enhanced without the discussion devolving to a troll shitfest? I don't care what you think about Alex, I'm interested in the PROGRAM.
Anyways, anyone here actaully doing NE? How do you like it? How are the results?
And what I'm most interested in is how long do your workouts take, I did volume day yesterday and it took me nearly 2.5h...don't know if its my shit work capacity or they're supposed to be this long.
haha 4'10 dwarf
Typical bodybuilding routine. Just another faggot trying to get rich quick in the fitness industry after making some gains.
Glad you bought the program, bro! Though I would ask you refrain from posting screencaptures from the book, as we don't want to let out any secrets to poorfags on this board.
Naturally Enhanced is my favorite program that I have discovered, the results have skyrocketed in the time I have been on it!
I usually complete my workout at the end of the 2hr mark, though if it takes you a bit longer, that is completely fine; do it at your own pace, it's all good. Don't needlessly wear yourself out, take a breather, take a 10 minute break to drink a coffee and recuperate.
there's nothing typical about it. very few programs utilize concurrent periodization with high exercise selection or low relative training frequency.
This frankly looks pretty stupid
AlphaDestiny made a niche of himself by peddling unconventional lifts (rack pulls are unconventional now? lmao ok) and concurrent training so that he'd make a place for himself in the world of youtube fitness, but his information is your typical broscience that anyone with common sense could understand.
That's a stupid fuckton of volume to the point of being impractical. I train full body every day, but I do two strength movements (usually two upper body or two lower body) and three volume movements, all compounds (if I did upper body strength I'll do three lower body exercises and viceversa). It's as close as you can get to "concurrent training" without being retarded.
The fact that few programs use concurrent training is not a testament to its effectiveness, but rather quite the opposite.
Also, high exercise selection and low frequency is impractical as fuck. Two hours into your workout, your energy systems are already changing, you're getting tired and just so you can do some arbitrary exercises for the sake of nonspecificity. The only thing you should care about in terms of specificity is hitting all planes of movement across all major joins. Just doing a lot of exercises to make sure you don't miss anything is stupid.
No, we cannot. Now go suck dick someplace else, preferably Dubai.
Get you work capacity up brah. Mine take about 2h max. I got only positive results through NE so far. Got my OHP, Bench and Deadlift way up while I was stalling hard before. Concurrent is the way to go and keeps shit fresh my man.
i want to try it out but im worried i dont have sufficient equipment...i train at home, all i have is free weights and pullup bar. can you run it without machines and bands?
You only need band(s) for the two mini workouts you'll be doing. Machines are not needed. There are more than enough free weight exercises you can choose from.
Thanks, I was thinking of getting myself a band anyway.
where are the lats?
On his back?
NE is actually very much your typical bodybuilding program. nothing new or different about it, just switches priority from lats to traps, arms to forearms, pecs to delts and quads to glutes. that's all that is about.
waste of money if you ask me, because all the info you get from his videos is enough to reconstruct the program itself.
with that said, i think "typical bodybuilding program"s are very suboptimal for natural lifters.
>that file name
alex pls go
alex pls go
I meant there's no direct lat work in that screenshot you babyface fuck
he's focussing on underworked muscles to squeeze out the last bit of gains.
he is basically reverse kinobody.
>not making a cheap pulley system for cable gain
the upper back, moron
Why is working out in jeans lol
Retarded amount of volume
am i taking crazy pills or are you people mentally challenged? a typical bodybuilding program is a bodypart split with several exercises per muscle groups that are rarelly rotated, with mostly 8-12 rep ranges per set and 3-5 sets per exercise. NE is FBW, only 2 lifting days, volume/intensity split, 1-2 exercise per muscle group, constant exercise rotation, rep ranges as low as 1-3 on inensity day and as high as 30 on volume day. its probably as far from a typucal bodubyilding program as possible.
>that deadlift form
Jesus Alex. If you cant even do the simple research and application of a fundamental move, how the fuck can one trust you to write a book
routine isn't what makes the program. it is based on what are the principles of a typical bodybuilding program, hence it is one.
So you have 2 presses and a shoulder isolation, then only 1 back movement? Lots of trap work and I get that, but I would imagine you would struggle to have max gains in the lower traps and lats department, which imo is far more important to your physique than retarded big upper traps.
You;ll look like the opposite of Steve Reeves, definitely not my cup of tea.
“We like cuddling! Muscles are disgusting! We don’t like men who are obsessed with the gym! We want to look better than the man!” they would say.
At this point, I started getting annoyed with their behavior, and asked them the following question:
“What type of man are you looking for?”
They paused for a second, and replied “Well, obviously a nice guy that’s going to treat us with respect, and who can communicate in a way that does not offend us.”
At this moment, I had a big smirk on my face, knowing damn well that what I was about to say next would cause them to flip out.
“So then why do you cheat on your boyfriends for asshole guys like me?” I exclaimed.
They were silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly went full bitch mode.
“You’re such an asshole, Alex! You don’t talk to a lady like that! Go fuck yourself! You don’t know what a woman likes!” they screamed.
Of course, their words didn’t faze me.
I just sat there in a calm and collected fashion, as I sipped on my cool glass of lemonade.
After about 5 minutes of them ranting at me, I cut them off and said “So when are we fucking? Next Tuesday or next Saturday?”
They quickly glanced at each other, as their eyes and mouths widened.
“What did you just say???” they barked.
“You heard me. Are we fucking next Tuesday or next Saturday?”
Interestingly enough, they started giggling and eventually began playing my game.
They would say things like “You are so bold! You are so bad! You are something else!”
Just as expected, they were coming on to me.
Not to mention a severely imbalanced scapula. Lower and Mid traps are super important for posture, upper just contributes to rounded shoulders
