Bring Back Hard Work and Volume Training

[guardian72]

Oh i have tried all sorts of ways from Arnolds twice per day 6 days per week 2 hours per session all the way to Mike M heavy duty training once every 5 days and tons of stuff in the middle even BFT as Trevor Smith advised, i made great gains for 3 weeks and then over trained and made no further progress. I made progress on all routines but my very best gains have come from doing as little as possible not counting warm ups obviously and then resting.
I have also found my best gains when grouping my work outs legs, push, pull with 1 day between work outs.

What i have found the most important aspect to gaining size to be very controlled negatives as in when doing dips a 4 second negative then exploding up and repeat. The only way i have seen no gains is doing half ROM in the way guys like Ronnie Coleman do reps, it gave a pump sure but no actual size gains for me.

I've also tried those methods... from those 2-3 hour marathons to the Mentzer method, to half reps, to DoggCrapp, to 3 day a week power sessions.
I've come to find what works best for ME, which is all we as lifters can hope to achieve. If that's you in your avatar, it looks looks like you found what works best for you. I personally have to feel my early sets while I do them and my heavy sets the next day or two. I'd just like you to train with me in my style for a month, then I'll train with you for a month and see what would happen physiologically.

Indeed training with other people and completely following what they do can really blast you out of a plateau because there are certain things that one will always stay away from when training by one self. For me it would be giant sets i never do those for example.

Yes that is me in my avatar.
