I'm going to try GVT-influence for about 6 weeks to see how I do. I've found that I react better to volume than HIT; and have also found this to be the case for most people when done correctly.
I've got some exercises switching up on purpose. Sometimes if I dont watch my shoulder routines my rotator cuff can start getting angry. And my wrists can hurt if I dont watch it on the curls (no matter what way I do them)
This may be too much volume, I'm not sure; but I'm NOT going to failure at all and I'm trying to take into account some of Bobo's training principles when he lets them slip from time to time
Also I am on a TestE-based cycle using Drol for 4 weeks then phasing into fina for 6 weeks with M1T for the last 4 weeks (12 weeks total actually... fina and M1T run together at one point) yes doing HCG and Nolva for PCT (HCG starts at week 5)
anyway, I am alternating every other workout with slightly different movements, my example workout for hte past week, remember, NONE of this is to failure... wait time is 90 seconds between each set and 3 minutes between each exercise
workout days are like this:
day 1: chest/tris #1
day 2: legs
day 3: back/bis #1
day 4: off
day 5: chest/tris #2
day 6: off
day 7: back/bis #2
Why one leg day in the sequence? Because I do deadlifts on backday and because my legs get to the point where they are so big that my small frame causes them to rub together and its very uncomfortable All the machine work is the hammer-strength machines; so they work pretty well. Its a lot of sets, but it is GVT; weights are picked that I could do 20 reps with on the first set
