For the past year or so I've been doing less volume but more than once a week for my muscle groups. I've always done the high volume route and wanted to change it up. Now I'm doing higher reps with more volume and I am loving it. On week 2 of the new routine and my fiancé claims she can already see a difference. Especially in my legs and arms.IMO from watching people train for almost 40 years, there is no one best way. Everyone is different. You got to figure out what works best for you.
Me, my body likes higher reps and lots of volume.
Some people get great results training to failure, others can't handle it.
If you read the article it actually says that and says why each different way is good/badIMO from watching people train for almost 40 years, there is no one best way. Everyone is different. You got to figure out what works best for you.

When I first got back in the gym after my injury I was following Ray Lewis workout that includes alot of DB and sets of 25/18/15/8/25. That worked very well for me. Now I do a warm up of 18 and then do 4 sets of 12I've been doing 15/12/10/8 with 4 exercises per muscle group (about) as opposed to 10/8/6 or 8/6/4 and doing 2 exercises per muscle twice a week and I'm seeing really solid results. My chest is showing much more definition.
I'm the opposite with legs. I go high rep high volume with them.To put on muscle 6-8 on most upper body. Even 8-12. On arms I go higher sometimes as Ive had injuries. Quads heavy, 10 reps, hamstrongs heavy , 4-8 calves something, heavy. To get muscle to grow youve got to pound it with intensity
Whats your legs looking like?I'm the opposite with legs. I go high rep high volume with them.
Nice brotherWhats your legs looking like?
Heres a couple pics from Junior Nationals June 17th
I feel you brother. My c2-3 are screwed, and my L3-5 are screwed so my squat would make most people look impressive. But I do what I have to doNice man! I don't have any pics. I don't compete or anything like that. Just lift for the pleasure of busting my balls and lifting. In high school and most of college I would rarely touch legs....until I started looking weird with shorts on lol I'm 27 now. Started lifting legs when i was a senior in college (lift as in once or twice a week. Not once every other week like I was doing). I've seen great progress.
I can't lift heavy on squats or any form of squats because I have a degenerated disk in L5/S1. Probably from football and golf but that's just a guess. Gotta go lighter and high rep.
Chris Cormier got injured and was forced to switch to higher reps on quads and said his legs grew from higher reps on quadsNice man! I don't have any pics. I don't compete or anything like that.
