Re: Re: He said "no" to heavy weights...
I fully agree. Ellis seems to know what he is doing.Originally posted by harwell
Umm if you seriously want to wait three months then thast fine but think your "muscles and joints" will be just fine. (Maybe really sore after your first week, but just fine.)
If you want a solid program to lead the entire way, including exactly what to eat, when to eat, what supplements work, what exercises to do, how much to do, and when to do them, I would really recommend you buy the Skinnyguy.net program. It close to a $100 but damn well worth it. I was more than skeptical telling someone with an internet site to send me a ~ $100 bill, but it's for real! Anthony Ellis, the guy who owns it, has sold I believe around 70,000 copies of it.
As far as the trainer goes, I would say ditch him. You should be just fine doing heavy weights, maybe not right away but..... I would take a few weeks to get your form down (maybe 3?). That is crucial when lifting. So yes do some lighter weights (~ 10 reps) not because your body can't handle big stuff, but more for learning form. You should notice a pretty good increase in strength, which will help when lifting big!
