I'd really like to try this approach someday when I have a better home gym setup. I've done a bit of reading on the subject and I really like the sound of it.

My gym is open brother- lol. Maybe a little far though.

I'm with @bhog my garage door is always open for you, unfortunately I only have 585lb of weight so not quite enough for the monster deadlift that you have @Perrin Aybara. We could play pool between sets too!

We should get a session in sometime, but yeah, too far for a daily drive.

 

[bhog]

I have 720lbs. I hope to someday need 75% of that lol.
I could use some DL coaching from Perrin " The Ox" Aybara

The distance to yours is a few thousand miles, but whenever you want to meet me in the middle at @bhog 's you two just PM me and I'll be right over.

 

[bhog]

I'm down. Put on your riding attire @RodgerThat you could do it in a couple days- lol

 

[RodgerThat]

Gonna be tough to carry my barbell on my bike but I'll make it work see you boys in a couple days

I've used this approach for quite a few years now. As I reached my mid 40's long sessions at high intensity just zapped me too much. I have a good home PL set up so training 6 or 7 days per week isn't an issue. Short sessions of 45 minutes or less each day with the exception of deadlifting days. Good luck with it S and P. I think you will like it and should make good progress.

I decided to take this approach in an attempt to relieve some stress on connective tissue. I have been having occasional reoccurring pain at several insertion points and hopefully this route will relieve some of the stress. Today was my first scheduled day and I am experiencing little if any noticeable pain. Typically after my Monday training sessions I become very stiff, with considerable pain around the joint capsules. It has been considerable time since I have only done one squat movement for my Monday. I will not become overconfident about the total effect of this approach until this weeks end though. If I see improvements in connective tissue, and am able to maintain training volume by the end of the week, I will then be more optimistic of this approach. I have decided I do not like aging. It can feel free to stop at any time. lol

I think the people who don't like aging usually start to use performance enhancing drugs to make them youthful again, have you considered this? Also I have been considering to changing my routine a tad bit to something like this but on a smaller scale more of a retain gains thing. Was thinking of doing 4x4 squats every morning and 3x3 deadlifts every night then do my regular workouts in between. Both squats and deadlifts would be at a 7 PRE and the weight would remain the same day after day, kind of like a "feeder" workout but for compound lifts

 

[bhog]

Deads, this is helping some.

If you take this route bro let us know how it works. I'm curious about the total daily gym time, as well as hormonal responses of doing a 3 x day training. You peaked my curiosity.

I'm still trying to write the program out but basically what I am going for is the same total weight per week as my usual squating 3x per week 5x5 or whatever so say my 5x5 is 315 that's the same weekly total weight as me squating 225 4x4 7 days a week sort of thing. I'm looking into it as I want something a bit less taxing on the body while I'm losing weight and it gives me something to do every morning too.

Sounds like an interesting plan. Are you going to log it up in your old thread as usual?

Ya I'll be running that log for my meso exsistance it isn't specific for a cycle or anything. I'm thinking maybe 4x3 every morning as I prefer triples and that would have me using 275lb so it's still decent weight as I can't really take 225 with as much intensity as I do heavier weight. I can't squat for a little while yet as my quads jacked up from my meet but once I'm squatting agai I want to try every day squating for muscle retention.

Sounds like you have a solid plan. Only one way to know for sure if it will work for you keep us posted and good luck with the injury. Like the pic I posted in your log, just one of the hurdles we must all face eventually

Good shit brother! if you can hit 475 without wraps you should be able to hit 550 with a good wrap.

 

[acoll83]

My unwrapped max is 500 and I'll be looking to hit 600-620 with wraps in 6 weeks.

What kind of wraps do you use to get that much out of? I only get about fifty out of my Slingshot wraps.

 

[Dw725]

My wraps are so shitty it's more a boost of confidence than anything else haha
