That is how I have been doing it. Now that I am on HGHPro ithink I might have to go back to it. Just to keep the glycobol dose smaller before my nightly HGHPro dose. I want to get the most out of both!

lying on your stomach on a decline bench, it hits the top of the traps like no other exercise-I got this exercise from a buddy named Chris(Mckleen)
youve got me mixed up with thetinyguy(Nick) I used to do decline pretty heavy , I got 275=8x's I think at my best, I can only do db's now because since my shoulder injury my shoulder seems to get hurt with any barbell movement for chest

switching volume with intensity-maybe 6 weeks go high intensity then the next six go volume or go 1 weeks intensity, one week volume-which as far as I know I came up with this for myself for injury prevention. does that answer your answer?

I did a deload and doing a new split- 6 day a week training, splitting body parts into shorter workouts
Chest and abs
bacl,traps
arms
quads
calves, hammies

In addition i can use the priority principal on body parts I think need more work, intensity on. and on the bodyparts I am fine with just maintain or go slightly harder than normal.
Ive been going to three different gyms for different equipment
Diet is about the same I am allowing some tasty foods sometimes. maybe 3k calories

*I am trying something new that I saw in this videos, these exercises, and doing triceps first
Invalid Link Removed
behind the head tricep cable rope extensions(from bottom)(like on video above) 90lbs=12, 100=10, 90=10
smith close grip bench press 185=12, 195=12, 12
preacher curls (closegrip ez bar) (strict form like on video , head up, chest up, back arches, no swaying to get weight up) 65lbs=12,70lbs=10, 7
lying on incline bench barbell curls 55lbs=7, 8 45lbs=8
it really brings down the weight but once in a while I like to try new things, keep an open mind, and see how I like it
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honestly this year i have been giving myself a little more room for error , in purpose, because for years upon years I went strict by the book. I feel it actually helps me and when its time for me to tighten things up, ill be ready. Remember ,Ive been doing this ten years.
I built a lot of my base going heavier than I do now, however now that i have the muscle I can afford to play with new ways of doing things. That said, i still may go heavy sometimes because I still beleive there is no subsitutate for that thick hard dense muscle look then heavy weights, my back is testament to that
