high volume - high frequency

[boston789]

I follow a pretty simple rule. When I am on AAS I lift high intensity (heavy weight) when I come off (like I am right now) I do high volume (lower weight, more reps) It works out great let me tell you. You have to change the way you do things every few months to continusouly shock the muscles. I wasnt getting as sore as I did for a while while lifting heavy so then I changed and I got sore as hell lifting lower weights but ALOT more reps. When I do heavy I usually do it until failure. When I lift lower weight I usually follow at 20/15/12 or sometimes 25/20/15 depending on what exercise. I strongly suggest this routine; it works great in respect to my cycles and whatnot.

by increasing the time under load you're actually working the muscle more (deeper inroad) that is why you are sore with your 25/20/15

Old school hit the entire body 3 times a week. It took 2 hours.

Then I saw splits where the entire body was hit over 2-3 days with a short rest following.

Now I see 5-6 days splits with the body hit once a week.

As this trend occurred over 60 years, the use of aas increased at the same time. The weights lifted climbed as did body weight. I'd reason there was a connection.

When a do a cycle of 500 mg a week, I can easily hit the entire body over a 3 day split and gain size and strength. I literally have to schedule rest days or I'll just keep going.

almost every bodybuilder near comp time cuts back on weight
and does more volume which hence give them the "bodybuilder look"

Jay does this,

and Dorian said, had he to do it again he would have NOT tried to increase poundages when cutting........( speaking about his Bicep and later Tricep tears)

heavy weight is necessary to grow. periodizing your routine with all the training styles would reap the most benefit.

sorry to dig up an old thread but yeah most people at the gym are fucking pussies and it really all comes down to how hard are you willing to work for your physique?

I definitely see a lot of guys who look the same after 3-4 months. And these are guys following different routes. 1 guy might be doing HIT, another some standard 1 body part a week shit and so on and so forth. It all has to come down to hard work and thats all there is to it, and of course listening to your body and finding what works for YOU! Right

Personally I'm having a lot of fun doing high frequency training. Some days I go with maximum weights 1-3 reps. Other days 8 reps. Some days I start off with low reps, then pyramid down. That works for me. Training twice a day can be done, so if anyone is out there sitting at home and wanting to hit the gym more.. Well try it out. Whats the worst that can happen? If you really feel like doing it, that must be combination of your MIND and your BODY telling you that this shit can really work for ya, so odds are you will see incredible results.

Just sayin.. lol.. bro-science rules piss me off, and there's so much of it when it comes to bodybuilding and even people at the gym who don't know any better or are just stuck in their own ways.
