Learning to be able to increase your strength and not feeling destroyed for the day is not only beneficial but it’s actually better training.
Lots never learn this lesson. Keep up the training 💪
Ok, I'm completely changing my workout routine this week. Been doing a volume approach for the past six years, and now I think I may have had it wrong this whole time, which is why I haven't made gains for years, and seem to lose strength the harder I try.
I watched this Mike Mentzer seminar laying out the logic of heavy duty training, and I'm obsessed. Can't stop thinking about it and diving down this rabbit hole. At this point I don't have anything to lose by giving it a solid try for the next several months to see how it goes.

My new routine for the next few months will basically be this: https://youtu.be/852rGXEa5wQ?si=aBQUJ5_s2CL1HaTe
My initial metrics to gauge success:
1. Am I stronger every workout?
2. Am I more full of energy throughout the day?
Silly to think I've been stuck in a rut for so long, probably due to overtraining and under-recovering, so hopefully I can start seeing some gainz again!
