I agree but I'm only doing 5x5 for one reason and one reason only. That's to bring up my numbers back to where they were prior to dieting. In a short span of 1 month I got my strength back and then some.
, just providing my view on it, I can see your side pretty well and numbers help keep the motivation in check.
I totally agree with the high volume work, it's the only way to grow. I was doing it for years and just go all out, best training program for size.Yeah everyone has their own goals, I understand.
In my personal opinion and what I have been told from people in the top tier is that training powerlifting style training and numbers doesn't matter, unless you are more natty than enchanced then I believe you need to do as much heavy lifting as you can with high volume. I still believe Doug miller was natural a few years back (not anymore since the Jay Cutler Classic last year) and thats how he trains and most the top level "natural" dudes, once you are on GH though everything goes through the door you don't have to train like they did in the old days.
Thats from my experience and seeing people who are at that level train, even though I train harder than them
I am not disagreeing with you
You planning to compete, you're stats make me think you'll lean towards classic physiques which just got announced
Thx man, for sure hit me up with training styles I'd like to try them out. Something with a lot of volume preferably
If I remember correctly, people often do Strong Lifts first, then switch to 3X5 or Madcow.
Well, you can switch to high volume soon -- but now you inspired me to try Madcow.
Now, let me ask you this: how to you feel on Trest? Also, since you are contemplating DMZ vs Msten vs Triumphalis - which brands of DMZ and Msten do you have? Do you want to use just a single compound or a stack? What's your main goal with those?
Lots of questions, I know. Thanks in advance.
