I have an idea for a friendly challenge for those of us who get distracted by shiny things. @isdatnutty and I were discussing how committing to a simple program can have the same results as always trying the newest, greatest thing. This thread will hopefully serve as a challenge and source of acco…

[image] rugby_lifting: Either way I’ve realised that i actually really like training in a bro split with lots of volume and in the back of my mind thinking that this ‘one set’ stuff is just to sell workouts to be different. Lol you should ask @The_Mighty_Stu about that

If I’m reading well, you started the bro split the same time as gear? No wonder you’ve had more progress. Also if you really enjoy a workout you are more likely to train harder

Never done steroids, didn’t mean to imply that either, sorry about that. The blasting and cruising terminology is what Dante uses for working hard and deload phases.

It could also be that super compensation thing. Maybe your body didn’t have a chance to grow during DC but now that you’ve decreased the intensity, it’s catching up. I can’t say they I’ve ever noticed growth in a four week period.

You were likely fatigued, like @Frank_C said. You also may just be getting a better pump now, with more volume, so you look more jacked.

This early year, for my first real cut, despite doing it too fast, and being severely depressed, I had the best (muscular) gains since noobie gains and I used a bro split.

I’d be interested to hear your views on a whether more frequency for a natural is better. You read a lot about how more frequency for a natural creates more protein synthesis but you can only gain so much a month. Would be great to hear your views mate. Cheers
