Thoughts on my training approach:

I really feel that high volume-moderate weights is my way to go. Instead of upping weights, as time passes, I will opt to shorten the pauses and do more rest pause sets. Later on upping weights, if reps go over 13-15.
I'll keep this regime during my lean bulk -S-drol cycle, trying not to be tempted by heavy weights, even if the strength gains are pronounced.

Looks like an excellent idea to me.

Me too, will be interesting what the results are -if any, since bro-science says: "Go heavy or go home."

Did this training for a couple of month, a while ago when recomping -and I think it works as good as going heavy, never did a bulk this way.

At my age heavy all the time = injury. Might look into a 4 day split. Heavy day 5-8 reps ,
light 15 -reps. Done this a few times and really responded well and helped the joints. A lot of retired body builders do this style.

Instead of going sometimes heavy (will be hard not to, it's kind of an urge), will do rest-pause mayhem to see if I grow that way, would further reduce the injury risk.

I'm a big believer in heavyweight with form. Problem was about 12 years ago I had to change. Lifting heavy since I was 18yrs old. At about 35 I tore my bicept dead lifting, at 38 slipped a disk in lower back squatting . At 42 jacked up my mid back doing weighted dips. Not to mention all the sports injuries that flare up from time to time.
Had changed to mind muscle reps at no less than 8 was hard to change to but help me cut up some. Got feeling good and got talked into a gym ego bench contest and heard something pop in my left shoulder and still struggling with it for almost a year now.
I did hit 405 for 2 reps and my title is still on the big Board in the 50+ class!

Lol. He ll I can't hardly do a push up now. And I carried a gun even when it was illegal!

I carried (legally) for so many years, now that I'm in a state that I can't carry it feels weird not having it.

That sucks. Under the car seat will work. Just don't get pulled over.

Yeah, in the car isn't the same as appendix carry, and definitely not worth the felony if I get busted carrying without a valid permit. My Missouri permit allow me to have it in the vehicle
 
Hey, Gramps. What's with the lawn gnome in your back yard?
