Gym bros, any thoughts on volume training? My trainer recommended it to me as a break from power lifting, and I just wondering if anyone had any success with it, and how the implemented it

What do you mean by volume training? going into higher rep ranges for sets? I like it, I think it's good to do all sorts of stuff from 2-30 reps unless you have very specific goals like increasing your 1 rep max. I think even then its good to to high rep stuff to let your connective tissue catch up, work on form, and build slabs of thick striated lean dense muscle that hangs off your frame impressively

Yeah basically,

my previous routine was 3x a week, 3 working sets of 5 with 5-warm up sets

This one is 10 sets of 10

yikes, 10x10 sounds like something called german volume training and its a really old, weird workout scheme I think. Why is your trainer bouncing from one end to another with you like this?

Its literally german volume training but I didn't know if anyone would know what that means

Dunno, I told him I was interested in some cardio work to supplement my reduced walking from vacation and he gave me a couple of routines and this was one of them he wanted me to try

Trainers need to constantly mix your routines up so you don't realize that you don't need them anymore. Usually with the excuse that it "keeps your body/muscles guessing."

Nah, having somebody on your rear end when you slack helps, along with knowing you are gonna disappoint someone if you make excuses

I don't use a trainer regularly tho, usually I just schedule a few appointments every few months to check up on stuff

I've never bothered with weighted cardio lifting stuff. I used to just do hiit on a bike and sprints in a park. Could never get into road running even when I was right into mma and bjj or before that rugby and soccer. Running just makes me want to shoot myself.

I keep my reps in the 8-12 range unless I really want to bust a plateu then do 5x5 for a few weeks. I've thought about trying some of that stuff where you restrict circulation and do light weights thats apparently the new hotness in certain circles but I'd look like a fuckin idiot so I don't.

I'm thinking about trying yoga given that it's a new year but prolly wait a month for the new years crowd to thin out.

That's a lot of volume. What percentage of your 1rm is he saying to base this on? If he said something like 30% of 1rm, I can see it. A couple years back, there was a pretty widely talked about study that said that this kind of volume workout was just as effective at building muscle as lifting heavy. I was always told that high-rep low weight exercises were more for scultping than building strength. I lift mostly for aesthetics, so my basic routine 4-5 sets of 15 reps per exercise at 80% of 1rm which gives me both

The rainbow flavor is godawful, the cookie dough one I liked and I would buy it more often if it was 5$ for one of those little suckers

Those cans of spray foam insulate are a god send when you own a 100yr old home and need to plug up small drafts introduced through the century of renovations and such. Only problem is the turds that added a new kitchen area did not bother to condition or insulate the crawl space underneath so the tiles are god drat ICE right now. Gonna have to take care of that in the spring :(

I kind of envy my dog. It’s not that he sleeps 23 hours a day, for at least several of those hours he’s mentally awake, but just seemingly can’t congeal his body from an ooze-like state. He’s the single most relaxed little puddle of a creature, even outdoing the cat and her sunbeam in that he manages it so consistently and for so long a duration.

Pardon my Take is kinda dumb but occasionally really funny.

They were saying that college players get all this stuff in exchange in for playing and Arian Foster just goes
"That's indentured servitude"
"Oh gently caress. I'm gonna have to ignore that because I want to continue enjoying the product"

Don't know if I've heard the argument made quite that way but it was succinct and punchy.

Also I miss Arian Foster.
