Bobo, had a few questions man.

1. I was curious what you thought of a routine that would do more of a higher volume routine 1 week then the following week drop the volume down considerably. I don't think I am recovering very well workout to workout honestly and I feel it has a lot to do with lack of sleep. I would get more but living in a college town makes it impossible so I can only get 5-7 hours a night. I was thinking like 8-9 sets of chest week 1 then like 6 sets of chest week 2 or something similar, maybe even 5. What are your thoughts?

2. I was also thinking of staying further away from failure to prevent CNS fatigue. I am on cycle right now but I still think CNS fatigue can really put a damper on gains, on cycle or not. I never go to failure anyways but I was thinking of staying more like 2 reps shy instead of gutting out the very last rep (sometimes struggling for a good 3 seconds).

Thoughts?
