Ethan,
It is impossible that you have done that routine as long as you say. Why a mere 3 WEEKS AGO you posted this:

[i]I start leg training with Front Squats 3x5 working sets
Then I do Back Squats 2x5 working sets
After this I have been doing 2 sets of leg press 10 reps with complete control,no bouncing.

I am adding in Leg Extensions for sets of 15-30 here and there, but mostly just sticking with doing the above 3 three times a week (wed-fri-sun) [/i]

How dare you doubt this lifting demi-god.

I actually kinda feel sorry for him. I sense he’s very insecure, else why would he look for validation in every thread he ever posts in…giving his exact split and stats waiting for some newb to be like “wow!! I should be training just like you!”

Who else does that on these forums? Seriously? Maybe more of the veterans should start posting their numbers so Ethan finally shuts up about his and realizes they aren’t that great.

I seriously doubt his numbers. Or if he even trains at all. Yet to see a video, a picture showcasing anything resembling a physique, and the fact his numbers/routine/claims change every other post, I honestly don’t believe anything he says.

If that’s true, it’s even more pathetic. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Your anterior delt gets much engagement, like probably too much ha. but anyways you should add some lateral raises fulls and or partials, bent over lateral raises and such or other shoulder type stuff.

you can never lateral raise enough[/quote]

Haha yeah. Ok, I just figured the 5x20 face pulls would cover the side & rear delts amidst everything else I do(btw it is 5x20,idk why I wrote 5x10 earlier,wrote it in a rush).

I guess I can drop the face pulls and just do like 5x20+ side raise superset with 5x20+ rear raise.[/quote]

I didn’t see the facepulls comment, never done these but they look like they would be pretty effective for the middle delt and maybe some trap stimulation.

A routine like that is ridiculous in the first place IMHO. It looks like you took a laundry list of exercises and added some rep schemes to them. Just because you’re trying to do full body training doesn’t mean you have to do a million different exercises every session. If you want my input, I’d make it look something like this…

Workout A:

Back Squat 5x5
Weighted Chin 5x5
Incline OR Shoulder Press: 5x5
Calf Press 5x20

Workout B:

Flat Bench 5x5
Back OR Front Squat 5x5
Facepull or Laterals/Rear Delts 5x10 or whatever
Bicep Curl 5x10
Tricep Curl 5x10

Workout C:

Back OR Front Squat 5x5
Barbell Row 5x5
Incline OR Shoulder Press 5x5
Cable Crunch 5x10

^On a tri-weekly schedule.

Also, the fact that your thinking of it in terms of “2 Chest,2 Legs,2 Back,1 Shoulder,1 Bicep,1 Tricep,1 Ab,1 Calf” contradicts the notion of full body training IMO. Squats and benches aren’t “just” leg and chest exercises. You can cover a LOT of ground just by focusing on a lower body lift, an upper body pressing lift, and some type of pulling each session. Seriously. Compounds go a long way.

BUT, if that is in fact working for you right now, and you have the time for it, then fair enough. Just keep in mind for the future. I doubt something like that will be sustainable the further along you go. Just my .02 cents.[/quote]

the routine this guy posted imo looks pretty good for a fullbody 3x a week split you (even though i dont like fullbody workouts)

Seriously Ethan, stop looking for everyone’s approval and trying to find the perfect program. You honestly sound like you need to read the beginner stickies, greatly reduce posting for a while, and actually follow the basics. You’re no special snowflake. Neither am I.

71

Why so much hate for this guy? I have read plenty of his posts and he doesn’t seem douchey to me. Maybe a bit overenthusiastic for some.

This is his 2nd account. Most of the trolling we are referring too is from his old one.

Ethan’s following EXACTLY the same progression he did on BB.com.
BB.com chronology: Created Ethan7x screen name.
Trolled for awhile.
Got banned.
Started EthanETE.
Talked about 5x5, reg park, sheiko, full body training, etc. claimed he was doing all of these.
Got banned.
Had a 3rd name banned.

The only thing he hasn’t done on T Nation is post pictures of a model who wasn’t him (yes, he did this on BB).
