      I know most people pretty much stick to a training program...but does anyone ever try any other type of training?
      I've tried everything from powerlifting...to body building....to Crossfit. Love them all

      Over the last 15 years I've experimented with different training approaches. I started out doing muscle isolation once per week for each body part but after about 2 years my gains slowed so I started looking for the cause, worked on diet didn't help, lifted heavier and did more sets also didn't work. I had some mixed success with different routines until I started doing 5x5. 3 on 1 off. My growth kicked into high gear. I believe the 5x5 is best suited for me due to my very physically demanding job. I had been over training and under eating for the level of training I was putting my body through. The 5x5 gave muscles enough work to grow but didn't exhaust my muscles that then Had to perform rigorous labor the next day at work. After I remedied my gym issues I turned to my diet. I wasn't getting enough nutrients or rest to meet the demand I was placing on my body prior to 5x5.
      I've always struggled with eating enough. Working outside in heat doing construction kills my appetite during the day until I'm home N hour or two then my hunger explodes. I'm just. Of capable of framing 3000clean calories down a day. So rather than focusing solely on calories and protien amount I aimed for balanced meals every meal. Lean protien,uncooked or steamed veggies, nuts and fruits. No processed or fast food ect. My body responded well to the diet change also. It took over 10 years to find what worked best for my body and lifestyle. I would highly recommend to anyone not making progress with fitness to reevaluate your approach. Experiment and find the protocol that your body responds to.

      I go back and forth between powerlifting and bodybuilding. I'll switch everything up to more of a powerlifting routine for a few months, then switch my diet up, change my training and focus more on a bodybuilding type regimen. Keeps my mind and body fresh, although I've started feeling the toll heavy lifting takes on me as I get older.

      I have tried a little of everything. BB for a few years, always PLing but enjoy mma/crossfit work a lot lately. I have always trainined in mma but until recent years I haven't geared my workouts toward athleticism as much as power. I own a small mma facility these days so find myself training much more for speed and power more than just power. Battle ropes and peg boards are two frequ bred drills that a couple years ago I was a complete stranger to. I feel better and healthier as an athlete now. Always trying to mix it up though!

      Full bodies for me. To start I do heavy compounds and finish with some blood volume fascia work. It WORKS! Get stronger and send blood to the muscle

      Heavy sets, 2x3 working sets, get in, get out. Eat and grow! Perfect form. 4-8 reps.
