Giving up on cycling doesn't mean I'm going to stop working out. Those volume sets are only for the last week of the 12 weeks. Like a blast, to get me back in strength and conditioning shape. I'm 5'9" so I don't have a reason to go past 190, or even 200. I know I'll be satisfied after this cycle, because I have other goals to achieve. Yes I do compete in MMA and Jiu Jitsu, but not when cycling. after this cycle I'll be going back to a strength and conditioning routine.
I'm not going to fight guys weighing in at 200 while me being 5'9".
If I do get 190, I'll fight at 175 and walk at 190.
Yes I do parallel squat 405. The whole gym stops when I do. It's pretty nice.
My strength is good because for the last 6 years all I do is for strength.
I've got a buddy at 145 that benches 345+, he's also black lol. Genetics do help.
Hope this clears the air for my personal goals. We don't all have the goal to be a bodybuilder. Heck i might look into being a fitness model, but that's as far as I'm going.
