Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

I usually switch to a higher volume higher rep, 5 on 2 off split every 5- 6 weeks when I start to stagnate on the heavy low volume stuff.... Which I'm actually almost due for. I usually don't go with quite as high of a rep scheme as you do as that's typically when I run into joint and overuse issues but I'll move I to the 12- 20 range depending on the exercise and hit 16- 20 sets for the big muscles and 12- 15 for the smalls. I'm curious what are your mutants current cycle compounds... Have they changed any?

i like to break it up on occasion like you do as well but for me the low volume 5-8 range destroys my joints like no ones business, so i keep most of the volume and focus on one compound movement to hit the lower end reps so i dont get beaten up to bad. here is what the transition for my guinea pig loos like and will change in next 2 wks:

this is the old:

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Who said they didn't like ur log or how you do stuff? The amount of sh*t you type a day is more dedication than most...haha. And those high volume workouts/ high rep sets... I'd be crying.

i was mainly speaking in general because just like everything else you always have haters that make excuses when they dont succeed. one of my favorite parts about this sport is that it is all on you, if i miss a meal or cheat miss or slack a workout that is all on me. i cant blame anyone else cause i drive the bus. their are people floating around on the board here that have saw pics of food that i have eaten in one sitting. just a small rant there.

on a positive note, give some of my volume training approach a try. i used to do the standard 6-8 reps heavy crazy stuff and i got stuck around 240s and blocky. i hooked up with a old top level national competitor that was one of my 1stsgts and he taught me this new approach. i made huge strides in gains once i changed over to his approach. sad fact of the matter is that i dropped two sets off of how he taught me to see if it stoked up some new gains. i do some 5x5s on occasion also but this volume approach hasnt done me wrong yet

dont like my log, dont like my meal lineup dont like my attention to detail. stay out of my log. dont believe i do what i do. stay out of my log or step on stage with me. i invite any doubters or nay sayers to spend a day with me and watch me eat and or watch me train. i do it every day and i very rarely miss anything. i do eat what i want on occasion and i note it here and in my personal log as well and i do this because i enjoy it. no other reason than i dont like to be like everyone else and i enjoy every aspect of bodybuilding and changing in a positive manner each and every year. i also strive to learn as much as i can from others.
