I like it!
However, I'm curious, Wes: from what I gather -- and please correct me if I'm wrong -- but you like to do five sets of 10-12 per exercise with very little rest, using a mostly constant weight that sees you hitting failure/close thereto on the fourth or fifth set, yes?
That's reminiscent of how Danny Padilla trained, if with somewhat lesser volume (understable; you're in your sixties and have been clean for years...Padilla was half your age or less and "on" in his heydey).
How often do you train each bodypart like this? I'm guessing 2x weekly, also a'la Danny.
I wish I'd gravitated toward such training before my surgeries. I did well with a modified Heavy Duty scheme, DC training and ilk, but fuck me, constantly chasing rep PRs on just a couple or few working sets per bodypart was mentally taxing. It took me 20 years to figure out that Art Jones, my former idol, was full of bovine feces when he said hard training "shouldn't be fun."
Maybe he was half-right, as in the moment you're doing them, maybe a 20-rep breathing squat ass to ankles ain't "fun"...but it is certainly loads of geedamned fun when it's over, you're buzzing on adrenaline, and look back and say, "Holy shit! I just got three plates for twenty?"
