Week 2 of max-ot routine is going great so far. I will say, I was sore the entire 2 days off and I was shocked, as I usually do a lot more volume throughout the week. I guess my body was not used to the heavier sets. I love the 4-6 rep range, and when I started lifting I had great results with...

Thanks for the advice guys! Yeah I think I will just add more sets of squats tbh. The bands method is cool but I don't see any realistic way to keep progressing if strength is the goal here. Had a solid chest/abs day, but completely skipped flat DB (need to buy a few sets of heavy dbs) - and...

Leg day... Haven't hit calves too, and I never work them directly. I always kind of believed they would stay small no matter what. I used to work them when I was younger but it didn't make much of a difference. They are on the program and I'm sticking with it.. This max-ot routine is brutal my...

Had a strong back workout today!! Single-Arm T-bar Rows 3 sets Chinups 2 sets Barbell Rows 3 sets Barbell Pullovers 2 sets - this one is new to me I replaced an exercise with these. My notes aren't on me right now so can't remember what it was I replaced but this movement felt good after I...

It's fair to worry about those two areas. I mean, if something goes wrong with shoulders it's going to affect other things. I love to bench press, and that would ruin my benching. I don't use machines - all barbell and stacked bands for certain movements. So it would be hard to complete isolate...

That makes sense, and I completely agree with your reasoning on milder compounds for longer duration. Seems like the best way to go. I've used epiandro and loved it. I personally think IML's r-andro is good too if they still sell it.

; Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I believe it's just muscle sore but I can honestly say I took it easier than I would've if it weren't sore at all. I did warm up with a lot of light sets to get the blood flowing. Gonna pay close attention and modify my routine if I need to as I do not want to...

You look lean as hell already, heck yeah man! I don't know much about the enhanced stuff, but I like how you train! The heavy bag is highly underrated IMO. I just got done with a few rounds of it myself.

First day of MAX-OT / Shoulders/Forearms Military Press: 3 sets 155x4, 155x4, 155x6 Replaced DB Press (need heavier dumbbells) with Seated Barbell Presses: 2 sets 135lbx4, 135x6 Side lateral raises: 2 sets 30x6, 30x6 Seated Forearm curls - 75x6, 75x6 Reverse grip forearm curls 75x6, 75x6 Felt...

To be fair, when I was 21 (2011) - I was able to buy H Drol and a few others on Amazon... that was pretty convenient. I bought CEL H Drol from Amazon multiple times. Loved that stuff.

Awesome choice of workout music!!! DMX is def. one of my go-tos when it comes to rap music! I admit, I have had to google a few of the lifts you've mentioned here haha

I'm gonna run with this Max-OT plan: https://ast-ss.com/max-ot/more-max-ot-workouts/3/ I printed it out for now and made a few modifications, such as front squats instead of leg presses. Obviously, some movements I can't do from the home gym (yet) so will have to find alternatives. I'm just...

Impressive! Sounds like you can get back to it in no time! I hope to be that strong when I'm your age, and I'm not far too far away. That's why I'm pushing hard now to get as strong as possible before I have to worry about any kind of decline or a slow-down in recovery or more risk of injuries...

Thanks for the link, I like what I see so far. Def. gonna run with one of these plans! I agree 100% - I still rush to get my post-workout protein cause I feel like it makes a difference. The mind is a powerful thing and I think just believing it works will make it work to some extent haha.

Tryna do them all back to back. I don't wanna just reach 1000lb, I want to know I own that sh** so I can move past it!!

Thanks man! Those measurements and lifts are incredibly impressive, especially at that height!!

In the process of picking a plan. Like I said though, still getting the olympic plates and converting from standard. So for the next month or so will likely be sticking with my hypertrophy training. Do you have any recommendations? @PolishHamm3r77 mentioned Max-OT, which looks legit but I do...

I really think Tyson is gonna win and it's going to be epic. Is this a stupid idea? Probably. But if it's happening.. well, I know who I hope wins and it might sound crazy that a 57 year old could do it - but if it can physically be done, Mike Tyson will pull it off and make history.

Yeah I know I love M-Test, but my experience before was using it during a PCT. I might do both, not sure on the difference yet I need to look into it again to find out.

The main benefit that I noticed: Increase in stamina! I keep throwing the word endurance around when I talk about this, but in reality, it increases your stamina. I am able to lift with maximum effort and strength for much longer while on AlphaDefy. This stuff works! Yes it is subtle, but it...
