The "best" training method?

      A lot of coaches are preaching their methods as being the ultimate way and absolute way to build muscle. Some claim that full body training is the best way, some claim bodypart splits are the best way, some claim high volume training is the best way, some claim low volume, high frequency training is the best. And they bring in studies proving their methods an anecdotal eveidence of their own clients showing before and after photos.

                                              Arnold was a big believer in bodypart splits,
                                       High Frequency Training (HFT),and was jacked

                                       Casey Viator, an advocate of low volume, less frequent
                                             High Intensity Training (HIT), but also jacked.

      What does this mean? Does it mean your quest of achieving your goal physique is doomed just because you are not following the "best" method? This simply means....everything works! And there is no such thing as the holy grail method. Just make sure you pick a reputable program and have faith in it. As Chris Shugart pointed it in one of his articles, do not belong to any training cult, and if you do, you are a dork. Also, as Dan John stated in his top ten tips, everything works but nothing works forever. Why would you want to confine yourself to a single training principle as you have the chance to experiment with tons of them.
     
        BUT!!!! and that is a big but, this does not mean you should mash all methods into one program. Remember, more does not necessarily mean better. Take a training program and stick to it for 12 weeks at least. Jumping from one program to another doesnt allow you to progress, and that is the bridge to the results you have long been seeking for. You do not wanna be ADHD in anything and that includes training programs as well.

        Finding the best type of program for you takes self experimenting. If it delivers results and continues to delivers results, why bother changing it? I find that i make the best progress with the last two mentioned training splits. If your progress has stalled, try a new program.Whatever it is, stick to it for 12 weeks before changing it. Be patient and do not expect fictional progress
