I only do 2 body parts per visit eg Monday chest and bi's, Tuesday Back and Abs, Wednesday Rest, Thursday Shoulders and Tri's and Friday Legs ( Shudder ) I usually do 3 sets of 8 than 3 sets of weight where im failing before 6. I usually do a min of 3 different exercises for each area.

I should add that I am currently bulking and am not doing any cardio. ( also as I typing this Im eating chicken and sweet potato :)

Not if you're only doing 2 or 3 exercises in the session.

I only do two or three exercises in about that time but way less volume, two unfit for that shit haha

Ah fair enough, love sweet potato. Chicken and rice with some guacamole for flavour is nice too

Damn that's fast for that amount of volume

With 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.

Fair enough, higher volume is something I might look into next year once I've hit some of my current goals

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.

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.

Oh I see. I don't get sore from squats anymore because I cant go heavy cos of knee bending in

Give it a shot and see if you like. Good for those who like a mental slog.

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

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
