Have u experimented with low and high volume? How do u like the high volume? U are doing 18 sets of rows alone LOL that is fucking nuts. U must have some crazy thickness going on back there.

Yeah, i've done Frequency/HIT/High-volume...frequency I always get good size/strength gains, but my joints get ripped up and I get overtrained fast.

HIT training I never feel like I get a good work out, but I get to move some HEAVY ass weight and make constant strength gains. Same thing w/ any power-training/5x5 programs I'd make constant strength gains, but no muscle soreness or pumps. (I still rotate it in every few months)

HIGH VOLUME!! This is what I started with, and I wish I had never discovered the 5x5 programs that ruined my shoulders, I wish I would just made steady gains doing High Volume training, and just use 5x5/HIT/Frequency as auxiliary programs. Bro I used to train until my body was numb, until I had gotten a pump and lost it, went and got some food came back and worked out til my pump came back! I'm talking like 25-30 sets for tri's, more so for back/chest/shoulders..legs just squats and bi's never got trained..I'd pyramid everything down then back up if I had to. I WAS AN IDIOT!

I'm babbling, I don't do as many sets as I used to...but It taught me how to feel the muscle working, and what exercises did & did not work for my body. I think everybody's first serious routine should be high volume while pyramiding weight.
