It hasn’t leaned me out at all to be honest, the main thing it’s done is improve my squatting stamina (which always used to be pretty poor before).

Soooo, I received some rather shitty news today that I’m not going to be able to pick up my medications (including anti-psychotics for a whole week aaaand i’ve just ran out) with this rather stressful development in mind I’ve decided to terminate this experiment a bit early and go back to my old, tried and tested 3 on 1 off powerbuilding type routine.
What have I learned from this?
The pros:
- The speed at which you can make strength gains with high frequency training is nuts! (I’ve added about 30kgs to my squat 20 rep max in about 5 months.
- If you miss a training day every now and then it doesn’t matter much at all since you’ll be smashing it again tommorrow!
- You don’t need much volume at all to make progress (towards the end of this experiment I’ve typically only been doing 1 working set per day, yet I’ve still been making speedy progress).
- It takes up very little time, like 15 mins per day towards the end.
The cons:
-I miss the pumped up, ready to rip the world a new one feeling I get from more conventional work-outs.
- The strength gains you gain from this kind of training I find are not as stable as the ones I get from regular work-outs where I do 3-5 working sets + per work-out.
Anyways, it’s been a blast! Thanks to all the fellas who have liked and or commented in this thread…tis much appreciated…maybe we’ll do it again sometime:)
EXPERIMENT OVER!
