Another Bone to be Picked At

Training Bodybuilding
1


Here’s another bone for everybody to pick over. My cousin is in the navy at the moment and he stands 5 foot 4 weighing in at a soild 170. his competition lifts last week were 320 in the bench despite short arms, a 405 for squat and 495 for deadlift. this is the program he uses:

LIGHT WEEK
Saturday

Leg Curl 4X8
DB Rows 3X10
BB Curls 3X8-10

This is the second program and he goes heavier than the previous week’s program.

Pull-ups- Arms away, arms facing, close grip, wide grip, half pull-ups, towel grip pull-ups

Now I’m not going to touch the programs themselves but how should I mess with the days schedule wise and not bodypart order wise to keep from over working and straining and ultimately losing more in the end than I gain?

Much appreciated if any of the editors could give this a lookover and toss me some pointers.
P.S. My cousin is the one in the middle in the picture and this was a few months before the competition when his ship docked in dubai for a few days

Short arms help on bench.

Are you ever really ‘standing’ at only 5’4?

FACT: short people have a lap, even when standing.

Hey, this guy wanted you to pick at his bone and all you can do is make short jokes? (which, however, might be in order after you’ve picked at his bone)

10

Yeah she can pick my bone.

I’m not impressed. Thanks for sharing.

I was expecting some jokes on this but not to this degree. It’s safe to assume that most of you are older than me at 19 yet you act like nothing but that annoying kid in school who thinks he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. and really now holy?

military is military, each branch serves a purpose, just because they aren’t on the frontline where you are doesn’t mean they don’t work just as hard if not harder in the air or on the sea. the mods can kill this posting for all I care if all I’m going to get for responses are things I’d expect from a sophomore in highschool who’s far too cocky for his own good.

This workout looks retarded. It looks all over the place, with random exercises thrown in.

Curls almost everyday.
Deadlifts AND Front Squats following the back squat workout
Benching on Friday and Saturday…wtf? As well as shoulders on Wednesday.
Too much volume too for my liking.

At the least, make it an upper/lower split and rotate. So maybe do upper, day off, lower, day off and repeat.

Military is NOT military. Here is the hierarchy:

1)Marines <<Usually bad asses!
2)Coast Guard <<They get to spray Cuban’s off of boats with fire hoses and have gun fights with drug trafficers
3)Air Force <<EZ-mode and the A-10 Warthog. THEY BUILT A FUCKING PLANE AROUND A GIANT GUN!
4)Army <<Some good people, but a lot of dumb fucks.
5)Navy <<What else can we say but “SWAB THE POOP DECK!”

Just my experience.

(ps: it’s all jokes before anybody gets their panties in a twist!)

to your cousin…yeah he’s pretty strong, but what’s with the navy? i guess he just can’t get enough seamen, can he?

sorry, i can’t help it.
