BEYOND BRAWN
12.70 Frameworks 1–4 and 6 may be excessive for you. You may need to prune
them back in order to make them productive for you, or perhaps move
straight to Framework 5. Results are what count, not gym attendance hours!
So if your training is not delivering the goods—and assuming that you are
satisfying all the out-of-the-gym components of bodybuilding and strengthtraining
success, and you have no serious physiological problems—then you
need to change your training. Remember, more of what did not help you over
the last few months is not going to help you over the next few months.

Generally speaking, the routine illustrations in this chapter have
the big exercises listed to be performed before the small ones. is
is a good general guideline, as is performing any specific arm work
last in a workout. But a more important guideline is to train progressively
all exercises in a routine. If scheduling your exercises in
a different way suits you better, so be it. If, for example, to squat
or deadlift first in a workout wipes you out so that you cannot do
justice to any other exercise, you would be better off to squat or
deadlift at the end (and shorten your routine too).

Chapter 21 has important additional information on program
