Ever since I've discovered Mark Rippetoe, I've curiously alienated all my gym training partners because I never "do arms".

Ever Burning I have a hard time listening to other people's routine now, I just see how much time they are wasting.

If you were my training partner, I would alienate you, because the statement you just made about “never doing arms” is based on subjective experiences.

Personally I find every exercise apart from squats, deadlifts, bench presses and ohps boring. The big lifts are what got me stronger and bigger and they're what keep me going.

Because the rest is mostly bullshit. It has its place only in professional bodybuilders that need isolation to sculpt each bodypart, but then again, looking at most bodybuilders today and how totally shit they look, i'm starting to question their function even in that. Squat, press, bench, deadlift and row. Done. Basic is king.

The rest are not only boring, they are also silly looking and MORE time consuming. Thus, as someone already said, They are bullshit. The last one of those I still do and I cannot have yet been able to stop, is barbell biceps curls. After the main lifts, you really got no energy for anything else, if you do them with the right three to five rep weight.

Adaptations occur in ideas or physical things, cultural things and environmental things. Some people revolt and hate that stress and go back to their old known ways, and some adapt, the level of adaptation varies according to the innate factors of the person, in the case of cultural adaptation, it is the ideas already THERE that will decide that. In the gym, your DNA will decide the limits of the adaptation. Most people never even get close to those limits though. The brain is a PROTECTION organ, so when the bar gets heavy, the brain revolts and does NOT want to get under it, let alone do reps with it, specially that first set, most people obey that order, the "advanced" trainee takes it into account and with careful safe technique does it anyhow. Your brain will tell you your back will get fucked, you didn't sleep well, or that two days rest is not enough, or that you ate shit for breakfast, or ..... so you need to remember that, IF YOU LIFTED THIS WEIGHT A WEEK AGO OR SO, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT TODAY, ALL OTHER THINGS BEING MOSTLY EQUAL. Thus this adaptation thing become more MENTAL than physical most times.

Ehm, you fail to understand what supercompensation is. All athletes train, recovers and adapts, but in terms of VO2_max and som other values (like mental focus, pseudo effect, etc) you could, if you are trained for it, get an extra output of this. You get this by starting the next workout much earlier than the zenit of the recovery phase. After years of testing I have discovered that three really hard workouts on three following days, followed by five days of rest and easy short workouts, give a better result on semi trained athletes than just training in the normal frequency. This effect after the five-seven days, is called supercompensation. The reason why I can see why you don't see the effect/point/use of this is that it is mostly for endurance sports. The strength I have troubles to see why a muscle should adapt more than the limit you are on from before.

Turkiyem GayVloks Utrecht Lan "its less boring". Get the hell out. If you think basic strength & conditioning is boring then you're doing it wrong. You need a certain level of analytical competence to see some of the errors you're doing during the exercise if you don't have a coach. If you have it, it occupies your mind. And then you have to focus on doing the movement with proper form and establishing a mind to muscle connection with your target muscles. I find it extremely difficult and not boring at all to do basic bench presses. If you engage in five different activities, all of which you could train for all your life in and still improve, just to fight the "boredom" of mastering any single one, then you're probably no good at any of them. It's ironic because Yoga used to be associated with mental and physical discipline, but instead now it seems to be used by those who can't be assed to do their physical conditioning properly by just doing proper strength training with PROPER rest days. No martial arts, no yoga, no "pump work", you just rest and hit the gym the next day with some basic compound movements performed with proper form with progressive overloading while eating sufficiently. No need to overcomplicate it.
