very large volume, except week 3. I eat and supplement accordingly to accomplish it, along with a week off every 8 weeks. not going much beyond 6 months of training like this. Alot of experts and so forth say now a days, high volume is a waste. Ive followed every 45 minute work out known to the internet and didn't get any where and wasn't until i hired a successful pro bodybuilder as my coach and i came along long way. I train in a gym of big dudes , i am not tall or huge but in the past month Ive had so many coming up and telling me what progress Ive had, it feels good.

I suppose when i am content with where i am at body comp wise, i will just train an hour 3x a week for maintenance and well being. Much like you 405 and gbrice i got into this game in my 30's and missed out on the easy gain and recovery years.
hmm.. how has it worked out for you thus far?
