Volume goes bye bye

[Thong Maniac]

im experimenting with the whole strengf thing this spring/summer as im natty now. ive always done the HV pump stuff and after looking in the mirror 5 years later, i was finally like "wtf!?" ive made like zero progress really. i have no squat, my deads are weak as fuck due to bad back and long limbs, and i stopped doing bench years ago for HV db pressing.

now my volume is far less. im doing reverse pyramid training.
for example my chest/delt day is this...


bench press
warm ups
heavy set x 6
10 percent less X 7
10 percent less x 8

shoulder press barbell standing
same rep set scheme as above

a few lateral raises

work out over and done

and believe it or not, im sore as shit pressing heavy weights and taking lots of rest. im in cal deficit as well which makes it hard too. im tracking my lifts and trying to increase rep or weights each time.
does anyone else train this way? im also only 3 days a week. now i got time to do yard shit, guitar, masterbate, fish, etc.

Throw the volume back in once in a while

Is the HIV pump a good TBombz move?

[Mr Anabolic]

You're getting shit results because you've been using the same training method for 5 years. 

There is no perfect workout system.  Changing it up every few weeks is the best thing you can do. The body adapts very quickly.
 
Nothing wrong with higher volume as long as there are rest days in between.  It's probably a better training method for older trainers with sore joints.

didn't you say you were going to be eating like 1700 calories?
not sure how you will increase strength that much by doing that, especially natty

Fuck no. and who the hell trains natty??
...apart from Joshua what's his name, aussie pro who gets bullied.

[Papper]

Make a decision how you want it.

Epic face, small presence, high energy and cut like a tiger (others will notice)

Puffy face, look great in a tshirt (others will notice arms and chest, nothing else) and feel big, but know that you look like dog shit under the veil

The natties dilemma

[BBSSchlemiel]

Intensity/weight progress is more important than volume for most exercises.
