I haven’t posted everything. Some sessions I just do some rowing or machine stuff. But I cut back. When I train 3 or 4 times a week, I just beat myself up, the body hurts. I’m trying to have enough time to do some good.

Thanks I was thinking that maybe increasing your squat, bench and DL sessions per month might help you, but sounds like it might beat you up more than it would help. Thanks for clarifying.

It doesn’t matter what I do. 4 times a week, once a week, 3 times a week, my body barely responds to anything.

Pullups hard, could only get halfway with 2 reps. Felt like arms tearing out.

Pull ups are a b!tch. I have replaced them with incline dumbbell rows.
Packed on a couple pounds of weight. But still no stronger.

It’s worth a shot! If what you’re doing isn’t working try something else.

This change might do you some good. Best of luck with the new rep scheme!
I don’t have luck. I have a body that doesn’t respond to exercise. I just keeping trying one thing after another.

Took a hard look in the mirror. My waist is fatter. NO muscle gain, all fat. Eating healthy, meat, veggies, a little carb. Creatine, probiotics, fish oil, collagen. No strength gains whatsoever.
