So sore! I've finally got my workouts where they're able to fatigue without the time being so long.
Until now, I'd been doing TONS of reps at moderate-to-higher volume (8-12 reps) only and it would take a million sets to wear me down... but it was all about hitting that awesome-looking 3 HOUR workout 😕.
Now, I'm going for efficiency: 2 to 2.5 hours to get the same effect by adding in a bunch of lower reps of the heavy weights.
So while Diablo is pumping out 200k in 1.5 hours, I'm taking a dive and hitting around 65-70k in 2.5 hours.
Aaaaaall good though - that's up from 45k this time last month! I'm gunnin' for ya, big boy! 😉😙

Minimum Effective Dose. Not necessarily recommending it, but read "The 4-hour body" by Timothy Ferris and he talks about it, plus "slow carb" and some other stuff about sexytimes. A lot of it is over my head and beyond my attention span, but some interesting/helpful stuff in there.

Minimum Effective Dose?!? This may worth a read. So 180 minutes for a workout. Hmmm...

I actually got 250k in 1 hour and 28 minutes last night but I didn't post it cause I didn't wanna see any tears. Today's workout sucked though. Must have pushed too hard yesterday. :D

Great job on finding the sweet spot. It will get better and better as you build boulders for shoulders.

Hey fat secret, let us decide what color the arrow is on weigh ins. The red always makes it seem like a bad thing. It's never bad if calories are within maintenance, a small surplus or small deficit and we are lifting. "Gains" are great!

lol, don't feel too bad, I was on the leg press for 80% of the workout. I pyramided up and then reversed it. So many sets. The legs are toast.

I never see gains as bad if calories are reasonable and your workouts are good. It's either a water fluctuation or a small amount of fat and muscle. But yeah, I guess the closer to your maximal muscle development you are the more fat it may be. Either way, as John puts it, it's extra fuel for the next workout! :D

Do you have access to the leg press? Many bodybuilders swear by it. I don't like the squat after tweaking my back a couple of times. I do it sometimes but I don't go over 300.

Many different variations to put your feet in to work all leg muscles.. Sitting leg press also is another easy one to use. I don't squat hardly ever anymore either.. Being tall and old doesn't help much.

Maybe, I'm not that flexible to get down that low. Try lower weight with high foot position, like heels only touching. You'll feel those hams burning eventually.. 🔥

Low position the quads go crazy, you can go wide, medium, close stance.. Try mixing it up and see what your legs feel like.

I don't go as heavy as I did in my late 20's but I go really deep. My glutes and hams are sore after leg press now and they never used to get sore when I was doing 1k+ but without the depth. I've been working a lot on flexibility.

Yo, I don't know if you mean only heels on the sled but that sounds dangerous, haha. Maybe I am reading that wrong. I'd be afraid of my feet slipping off and the sled coming down to crush me. :P
