Olympus Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 yeah, very well said... it's how you manage and put devotion on your goal. But then again, how can you traion hardcore when the equipment isn't sufficient? That's the same reason you won't see any professional athletes in a facility like Bally's Quote Link to comment

hellgate Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) i read the Bill Starr 5x5 Primer at the Eclipse website and i have a few questions. 01. does the 5x5 primer strictly follow this same program? what if supposing the squats and dynamic rows will be replaced with other free weights compoud exercises? like for instance a bench press followed by an incline press, will that no longer be a 5x5 bill star program or will it just not be as effective as what’s listed? 02. The Phase2 program is listed as: Workout 1 (monday) Bench:115x3, 155x3, 200x3 Squat: 200x3x3 (warmup 95x5, 155x5) Row: 200x3x3 (warmup 135x5) Workout 2 (wednesday) Deadlift: 245x5x5 (warmup 135x5, 205x2) Military press: 95x3x3 Pullups: Bodyweight x3x3 + 20lbs Workout 3 (friday) Bench: 185x3x3 Squat: 135x3, 175x3, 215x3 Row: 135x3, 175x3, 215x3 This is no longer a 5x5 or is it? Since it doesn’t follow the formula 5sets & 5 reps 03. i see lifters do a bench press followed by an incline press then decline press. Is that effective? thanks.

Olympus Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 The program was written in a way that there is a method behind the madness. Chanign everything will hinder its true potential. many people want to customize everything, yet lack the knowledge and experience to do so. If you want the best results, stick to the program as written i read the Bill Starr 5x5 Primer at the Eclipse website and i have a few questions. 01. does the 5x5 primer strictly follow this same program? what if supposing the squats and dynamic rows will be replaced with other free weights compoud exercises? like for instance a bench press followed by an incline press, will that no longer be a 5x5 bill star program or will it just not be as effective as what’s listed? 02.

Kyle_Rayner Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 First off. you don't need supplements, you have to get your eating habits in check first. for your routine, read this: http://www.eclipsegym.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=57 any more questions, feel free to ask Bro, do you have a suggested boxer's program? More on boxing and cardio yung training ko and I rarely lift weights. I don't wanna bulk up baka kasi macompromise yung movement. Pang define ng cuts and for additional strength lang. Thanks bro!

Christian_19 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Guys, anyone of you who've been to one? I can name some gyms with the "hardcore" reputation. FOXX Gym, York (Fitness Stadium) closed na ata), Technofit, etc. Bro san location mo? kung makati manila ka lang sa may agusto francisco san andres bukid great shape 40 lang ang luwag ng place!

lance_26 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hi, As I have surveyed all the gyms in Makati: I must say you should try Dusit Thani gym and you will like it. Membership rates are competitive much lower than other 5 star hotels and lower than fitness first too. Crowd are ok and better than commercial gyms. Cleanliness and friendliness of staff are plus with hotel service of course. anyone knows of a good gym in makati? Quote Link to comment
sji67 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hi Jacques, I'm wondering, do you compete as a bodybuilder? If so, I was wondering if you could share some contacts for "gear" and do you have any knowledge about contest prep? And yes, I am educated in training methods, eating habits, proper cycling, dosage and post cycle therapy. Will wait for a reply. cheers. Quote Link to comment

K0RN - RETIR3D Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Just curious. How would you define a Hard Core Gym? Is it based solely on equipment alone? Quote Link to comment
M Corleone Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Just curious. How would you define a Hard Core Gym? Is it based solely on equipment alone? Hardcore Gyms are usually those gyms that have an equipment allowing you to lift heavier than the usual. These kind of gyms typically have dumbells exceeding 150lbs. and a lot -- A LOT of barbell plates which weigh more than a hundred pounds each. It can differ according to the user, but definitely, it is not your usual mainstream (not to say expensive) gyms around the metro. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment
