Birds Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Damn that's fast for that amount of volumeWith volume training, as you're not always lifting extremely heavy weights / at your max, you can usually shorten your breaks and pump out lots of reps. It does tax the heart and lungs if you're not used to it, though; your head will certainly spin! My diet isn't fantastic; the volume training burns through calories and keeps me trim.Also, Leesh, when I do 2-3 exercises it only takes me 45 minutes. If I was doing your workout I would be done in an hour or just over.

bozodos Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 did my 1RMs today with my gym bros - a couple of months since I stopped doing bro splits and did the PTC beginner routine. Squat 200kg, DL 170 (one half assed rep at 180 but IMO it dosen't count), Bench 110kg. Weight loss has slowed down (now at 115kg, about 1kg per month), but very happy with my strength gains. I probably could have pushed the squat a little harder, but was not sure about my knees. No wraps, belts or gloves etc, only chalk. Working on a 120kg bench and 200kg deadlift by the end of the year. Interestingly my bro split mates were benching 150, but couldn't keep up with squats and only just managed to keep up with deadlift. I reminded them (like I do all split devotees), that squatting is so much easier when done 3x a week.

bozodos Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 well everyone always complains about how sore they feel after 'leg' day, or squats day; I found that squatting 3 times a week means that I never have severe DOMS in the quads, glutes or anywhere else for that matter.

This. I don't get doms either unless its after returning from a week or two off...tomorrow for example yeah my right knee caves in as I'm coming up from the squat It's causing a hamstring strain too weak adductors apparently My adductors were pretty sore for the first few weeks of squatting 3x week, It went away and so did my knee bend. Might be a correlation there but given the amount you squat it would feel like doing a weeks worth in one session. Give it a shot and see if you like. Good for those who like a mental slog. Most likely will once I reach my goals, not sure how long that will be, next year sometime hopefully Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/469/#findComment-7110141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
