nice, although that was too long and I doubt anyone will read it
what kind of volume are you generally in for different body parts? also what did your split look like when you were hitting bodyparts 2x/week?

I read that shit…that is solid progress SS.
We are about the same BW I am 225 and have been lifting for a little over 15 years…to piggyback on BD’s question what do you think was the turning point in your training?

Volume varies. I’ll ramp it up for a few weeks then back off a little depending on how I feel. In general I’ll pick 4 or 5 different exercises and do 3-5 sets. For back I usually do three exercises each for vertical and horizontal pulling. About the same for quads and hams - 3 each in addition to a big movement like squats.
When I was doing 2x week training it looked like this.
Mon: Back, Chest, Triceps
Tues: Legs, Shoulders, Biceps
Wed: Off
Thurs: Back, Chest, Triceps
Fri: Legs, Shoulders, Biceps

I have no idea about max strength anymore. It’s not impressive. I don’t do flat bench with a barbell anymore because it tore up my shoulders. I stick to mostly dumbbells now. Before I stopped my best was 315 x 3. For squats I can work up to a few reps with 335. I don’t care about numbers anymore.
I’m 33. And no, there will no more kids.

It’s been a long process. Doing TBT and learning the solid lifts was key in the beginning.
More recently, tracking my calories and seeing how my body responds to changes in my diet.
And finally, just getting all of the school out of the way and settling into a routine that allowed me to train more consistently.

Ha ha yeah it was long but well worth the read. I like reading things like this. Here’s a guy with a busy life and family responsibilities (5 kids ) yet still finds a way to train hard and look after his nutrition.
Respect.
By the end of that post I expected you to have like 10 kids.

thanks! I did read it btw
I definitely agree with doing a lot of variations for back, I don’t get how people can think they’re training back optimally with 3 sets of pulldowns and a couple row variations 1x a week

what’s this 2/1 method you talk about?

Accentuated Eccentric Techniques
The 2/1 technique
This technique can be used quite effectively with exercises such as seated rowing, cable rope curl, cable rope triceps extension and most exercises that can be done using the triceps rope. It also works on most machines.
The way it works is pretty simple: you lift the weight (overcoming/concentric portion) using two limbs (both arms if you’re doing an upper body exercise, both legs if itâ??s a lower body movement) and you return the weight (yielding/eccentric portion) with one limb.
So the load during the yielding portion of the exercise is twice as high as during the overcoming portion. The load to use should be light enough so that you can accelerate it during the overcoming portion but heavy enough to make the single-limb yielding portion hard to do. A load of around 70% of your maximum two-limb result is a good place to start.
The overcoming portion should be done as fast as possible while the yielding portion is to be executed in five seconds. Sets of three to five reps per limb are performed (so six to ten total reps per set).
