OK I need help here. I am 46 in a couple of days and been on TRT now for 4 months. I gain fat very easily but seem to be able to cut it pretty quickly as well. So I need to be in the gym 6 days a week. I tried Ronnie Coleman's routine because its a 6 day cycle in the gym. I believe I was over training I was lifting sometimes for two hours to complete the log and not doing much cardio. I got run down after 3 weeks doing this and now have a bad cold. I have been out of the gym for 3 days now and today I just walked/jogged 4 miles as my cold is coming to an end.
I would like a good routine that lets me go to the gym 6 days a week without over training any one muscle. It seems there's so many opinions as to how many sets/reps you should do so tell me if this sounds strange to you but I have never been able to find a weight that I could only do 2 or 4 reps for me it always seems I either can't lift the damn thing one time or I can get 8 to 12 out of it. Maybe its a mental thing I don't know.
Anyway anyone want to help me with a good routine? Please someone convince me how many sets I should do I've done the 3 set thing and I've worked a muscle 7 to 8 sets before. I suppose each muscle is different and may require a different amount of reps/sets to stimulate it. I've tried google to find a good routine but you get so much spam trying to sell you this or that. If someone has a routine they have had a lot of success with could you please send me a link or message me or reply here. Thanks
Oh yea when I was fat I was 260 pounds. I lost it all got down to 170.2 exactly. Went on TRT and I am now 192 wearing size 32 pants. I am 5'10" 46 years old.
