    Working out with babies requires sacrifice from the entire family

    @redeemedsinner I’ve got 5 kids and I feel the struggle. Luckily my gym is open 24 hours and I’m able to go either super early in the morning before work, or super late after everyone is asleep.

    Too Much Volume?

    @seekeroftruth343 Yeah I’m focused on technique more than weight. All of my eccentric is slow and controlled, full ROM, and I stop if form gets sloppy. No partial or rushed reps. I had a physical job for 15 years so maybe my “endurance” for repetitive movement and physical “stress” is higher...

    Too Much Volume?

    @zaphod1983 I’m definitely not using weight that isn’t somewhat challenging. I’m not “ego lifting” by any means, and I’ve been told before that lighter weight for more reps is better for building muscle and avoiding injury. At 39 years old I’m more interested in avoiding injury than most...

    Information Overload

    @ilovegod777 Focus on diet and consistency. I personally enjoy watching RP, Greg Doucette, and a few other “fitness YouTubers “ but take everything they say with a grain of salt. I do pull bits and pieces of advice from their videos and use what works for me, but don’t go overboard. Do what...

    Too Much Volume?

    @claudia4christ Full body every session but with a little more emphasis on a different muscle group each time.

    Too Much Volume?

    @frustratedhusband The thought behind mine was to work my whole body every day of the week but have certain muscles get more focus each day. I’ll definitely find a more “structured “ program to work off of. Thanks bud

    Too Much Volume?

    @mac64 Yeah it’s challenging… not impossible but not a cake walk. I’m going to try a new program today and see how that treats me. Thanks bud!

    Too Much Volume?

    @steff13 Thanks bud! I’m gonna give this a shot and see how I feel. Honestly my joints feel fine… I worked construction for years so hours on hours of repetitive arm/shoulder movement was a typical day for me. Really appreciate the help and the workout routine, excited to see how it feels in...

    Too Much Volume?

    @wes40 I typically spend about 2 hours… 1-2 minutes rest between sets. I’m probably just gonna start a whole new program and see how I progress from there. As I’ve said, total newbie to this and have been seeing crazy results and I’m not super fatigued from it… but the consensus is that I’m...

    Too Much Volume?

    @dsal Thanks bud. I’ll typically use max weight and go to failure on my “heavy weeks” and I’m definitely not doing as many reps or sets. Good lookin out!

    Too Much Volume?

    @asperd Yes I am. Some days have more focus on legs, back, arms, core, or chest.

    Too Much Volume?

    @notsure17 😂 thanks bud. The consensus seems to say I need to find something more structured, so hoping that I can get even better results with something that’s “proven”. If not I’ll come back to my “Frankenstein” program lol

    Too Much Volume?

    @gr3mlin Thanks bud… honestly intensity varies week by week. Some weeks I’ll do lower reps with heavier weight, trying to balance strength and hypertrophy. I’ll take your advice on switching up exercises for sure, although those cable flies at the end burn the shit out of my pecs and I love...

    Too Much Volume?

    @bambamikesell Thanks bud! I did say it was full body (I do full body every session) just with a bit more focus on my back and shoulder. I’ll look for some programs that are more focused on specific muscle groups each session and see how I progress. I appreciate it!

    I need help getting back at it

    @trainando It wasn’t shame I’m sorry it came off that way. Did you read the whole comment?

    I need help getting back at it

    @trainando If you want it enough you’ll find a way. I’ve got 5 kids, a wife, and a demanding career and I started prioritizing my health this year by sacrificing and waking up early, or staying up late for gym sessions. And I feel the best I’ve felt in years as a result. If it’s too cold and...

    Too Much Volume?

    @canyor Typically full body every session , and since I’m focusing on chest growth more than anything at the moment, I put in at least 2 sets of chest exercises to every session. This workout was my “back and shoulder“ day, and I have a few other templates that are leg, arm, and core focused…...
