No point in that right now as I am experimenting and learning. I don't claim to be an expert. That was the reason I posted my question. I just wonder if high sets are really the 'demonic spirits'...

Your not misreading them. I posted them as I lifted them. They feel heavy to me for some reason. :)

Rest periods are 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes at the heaviest sets. Sounds like I am not over training...

Agreed once again. Best bang for the buck. I think the example you used was a little 'out there' but I get what you are saying none the less. :)

Lifting heavy weights doesn't require glycogen? :)

Well, I am in full agreement there. Why would anybody pay more money for a t-bone steak at one restaurant if they can get the exact same steak for less money somewhere else? Same concept your talking...

I think the key point in answering your question is the type of sets I am doing. I am doing full pyramid exercises...all 40. This was my flat bench set routine last Friday.

15 @ 35 * 2 = 1050 ( *2...

Awesome post thank you. But if you have done the research like I have...you will find people preaching the exact opposite...actually instilling fear of overtraining by doing high volume reps and...

My theory based upon my research mind you. :) I am not just sitting around making up rules in my own world. It's from everything I have been reading about the dangers of over training and how...

I did about 40 sets for my chest and shoulders last Friday. The workout lasted about an hour and 45 minutes. I pyramid up and down for every exercise over the 10 sets per exercise. Which is why I...

Please define intensity so I know what exactly you are trying to say? I also do deadlifts by making sure the bar has completely returned to the ground. It allows me to do way more reps than I could...

Interesting. Still it makes me wonder why for me, personally, lifting(chest routine) 3x a week results in much less soreness versus taking 4 whole days of rest which does result in soreness. There is...

I just started working my legs by incorporating deadlifts. 1st week I hit the chest 2x legs 1x - 2nd week - legs 2x chest 1x - then just keep switching back and forth. This was a routine suggested to...

I am "over 35" so I feel that is important to remind everybody when asking this question. I know it's the forum name but I just wanna give it some emphasis.

I started doing a chest routine a few...

So, you tried the 1x/week per body part for a full year and your going back to 2x a week...but you never stated why...not seeing any gains/improvements? I am guessing you at least maintained what you...

I like the looks of this. 3 and 4 day rest periods in between each muscle group workout. If this produces mass and strength I think I may try this.

I have asked a question similar to this before but it seems of the highest importance to get it right because of the consequences of getting it wrong. So I will ask again in a different way.

I...

But of course. :)

Thank you so much for highlighting the point I was trying to make. The sugar in fruits and candy bars does not break down and enter the bloodstream at the same...

*sigh* I changed that statement in my original post because, after some thought, it wasn't exactly what I was trying to say. A child with cancer is, in my eyes, faultless. But adults who know the...

Obviously a lot more to it. But in general it's what I believe. In other words, cancer doesn't just fall from the sky. That's the gist of my statement. If you take issue with that statement in it's...
