The Thor Program

There are some interesting concepts in this book about maximising the body's utilisation of androgen receptors. There are lengthy descriptions and explanations of how these receptors are the key to a great physique. But the program to get there appears misguided for the vast majority of trainees.The 5-day workout routine is essentially a body-part split (i.e. Chest one day, biceps another) that you could find on any generic bodybuilding site. These kind of routines are ten-a-penny, and not suitable for the vast majority of natural trainees. The author talks a lot about recovery and stimulating the body just enough to stimulate results, but this routine is really too little to do so. By the time you get round to training your Monday lifts again, you won't just have recovered, you'll have de-trained.Given how confident the author is that his various plans will boost testosterone, you'd think he'd include a routine which has the right exercise frequency to build muscle. The same with sprinting. Sprinting is an amazing exercise. But it's only scheduled in the workout plan one day per week.There is lots of interest here (especially in conjunction with the author's other works on testosterone) but the workout plan is not fit for purpose. There are far better routines to target the androgen receptors and the muscles that line them.
