need new routine, sick of BBing style pump training
« on: June 06, 2016, 03:37:14 PM »
been doing reverse pyramid training but feel like i hit a wall. strength progression stopped.

any good splits of low volume, heavy(er) style training that will help a natty pack on a couple lbs? i cant really do deads or squats due to scolosis and a super flat lower back (no arch, pancake ass). bench is the only compound lift i can handle now, but would actually even like to stick to hammer strength presses if possible. i figure if your overloading your muscle with heavy low reps, it shouldnt matter. but i dont know

A friend worked construction in the 70s.  He had tremendous functional strength that translated well to this workouts in the gym.   Me?  I dug ditches.  I drank whole milk, kefir and even whipping creme just for the calories.

I recently took a week off the gym.  It felt good returning. Rested and excited again. After over 40 years of training I am still going.  ;D

Rich (Oldtimer1) is the guy to ask.. pm him he likes low sets and intensity and i have seen a pic of his results. Good man been around the Iron game a while. Also gets his cardio in and has found his sweet spot in training. Normally does 2 sets per exercise.

Brother, that's an important first step. Strive for improvement, not your image of perfection.

Try PHA training ... Builds muscle,stamina and the idea is not to get a pump in any body part.

100 sets per day? no thanks man. maybe for someone on gear who wants to take a break from heavy weights. this defeats the purpose of my thread topic
