It looks liek so little written like that.

I feel the same way everytime I record my workouts which are generally between 10 and 15 total sets.

Joegood in response to Docholiday and some insight on rehabbing my back.

Kettlebell swings
Kettlebell front squats
OH Barbell squat

All done light and with high volume. Pick one exercise and do 5x10 before your main lift and 2x10 after your main lift. Presumably squats.

See the thing is when you injure the back you lose sustained strength not limit strength. ie: before injury back squat 315x8 after injury 315x1 because it hurts. Now this is because of the injury and not building up the endurance again. I mean did you ever see how fast a muscle atrophies after it is injured? Same thing here.

Make sense?

Btw very good job going on here.

Shoulder is a bit cranky after this.

I notice you throw a lot of volume in there. Nice work.
