Joel:
Like you, I've always based my training around high-intensity, low-set sessions with plenty of rest between sets. I stuck to the same training style pre-contest, believing that if I lowered the weights, I'd lose size.
Do you find that you're holding your size well with this lighter but faster-paced training?

Believe it or not yes! Its working really well and my joints are loving it. I plan to mix it up some going a little heavier maybe everyother bdpt workout but the volume is working great and if anything I've gotten bigger. Maybe thats just wishful thinking! lol But we'll see when I get a little further into the diet.

I'm not telling you anything you dont already know..just a reminder, weights dont mean chit. It's obvious to the seasoned guys that you are busting your ass and that's what makes the difference. Lift as heavy as you can with the most intensity you can. IMHO doing a 500lb squat for 2 reps then resting for 3 minutes to do another set is far less beneficial to muscle atrophy than doing a 225lb squat to complete failure with very little rest between sets.
