I tend to progress well on low volume, I always seem to be more fresh and injury free. Texas method I liked too, it wore me down though.
I will program something like Sheiko along with the bodybuilding style exercises after this comp. So my cores will be hypertrophy for a while along with a bunch of drop, super and giant set stuff and iso movements. I think this will work well...maybe. Volume will be BIG.
I’m gonna have to read up on the hypertrophy stuff.
I never even kept a log.
I pretty much been doing what I want in the gym without no plan.
I usually just start low and do warm up sets till I get to a weight that can be a working set, then I do 3 sets of that.
Sometimes I do working sets of 15-20 on some days, and then some days I do working sets that are in the rep range of 10-12 and sometimes I do slow methodical sets with 3-6 rep range.
Usually sets that are 3-6 for exercises like bench, squats, dead’s.
Military presses, delt exercises leg curls, dumbbell exercises etc in the 10-12 range, and calves, triceps, biceps, cable crossovers, ab exercises all in the 12-20 rep ranges.
I should prob push myself into doing a program and probably will with this next blast.
I honestly have never even read a routine. I need to understand the philosophy behind the program before I can buy into it.
