I also don't do tons of strength training at the moment due to a rotator cuff injury. I go for the "pump" too. It feels great!

I rotate rep ranges and weights

Ex:
wk1 12 to 16 reps low weight little rest
Wk2 8 to 10 reps moderate weight lots of squeezes
Wk3 2 to 6 reps heavy
Repeat

Switching things up is the way to go. I might go heavy every 5 week or so.

 

[nuncaquite]

Gotta switch it up and move it around myself. I do better lifting heavier, but after a some weeks of it Im in break down. I will walk into the gym and not have shit in me.
Thats when its time to go light for a few weeks

I allways wanted to give german volume training a try...Are you going for 10 seconds rest or 30 seconds .....

 

[incrediblebulk]

30 sometimes longer to be honest tens sets of deads was fing tough. Back pump like crazy. Gvt is brutal

 

[DieYoungStrong]

GVT is boring and brutal. But it works amazing if you're getting enough calories and rest to recover.

I gotta look into this gvt a little better. You guys have my interest up.

If you're a cycler, make sure you do it on cycle.

Hey Guys, for me, it's always been the Super-set or Tri-set, It allows me to get a lot more work it a short amount of time. The old school German Volume Training is a old favorite. Just remember, what ever style of training you use, "Keep a Log", if not, you'll not know what's going on, and if your comparing two different styles over time, then you will see how it comes into play.
I have Journals with Body-part Exercises, wt-lifted, days, sets, and reps, from the 70's.
It always helps to look back, so you can go forward...............................JP
