That's exactly what I did haha when I registered, I entered the wrong bodyspace username and start date, so I had to register again. I messed up like three times and finally got it right on my fourth registration lol my official start date is April fools day

[Cowmustard]

Always glad to have ya my man!!! Actually I need to ask you a question I was pondering.

In regards to CNS failure due to lifting, which is better for recovery;

A. A full body routine, with a day rest in between

B. a muscle group split(ie legs/push/pull) for 3-5 days then a full rest day

C. It is all personally specific and you have to find out for your darn self

D. Optimus prime.

While it depends on specific exercises, I found the split routine I am currently doing easier to maintain than the full body routine I was doing. A more basic full body routine like Starting Strength would be more maintainable than what I was doing.

Generally, a split routine is easier to maintain than a full body routine. There will be some specific things per person. For example, my lower body is relatively stronger than my upper body. For example, most people who can squat 300 can bench 225 or so. I haven't maxed in a while, but I wouldn't be able to do much more than 135 I bet.

Optimus Prime is unmaintainable. Only the robot himself can be that sort of epic.

Sounds good bro! Like Grifts, I'm watching you! Subb'd! I was wondering why I wasn't getting any updates in my User CP. Then I realized you created a new thread and I hadn't yet subbed lol

agreed on OP, might have to run a split for this cut, then head back to SS when it is time.

Good stuff so far man. Keep training. You still doing IF ?

[lochinvar76]

Been reading your workouts and it makes me want to go out and get a heavy bag again. Ahhh... if only my injured and arthritic shoulders would survive 5 rounds on a heavy bag! Keep it up!

[Cowmustard]

Good stuff so far man. Keep training. You still doing IF ?

I go a couple days of pure IF(workout am and workout pm,then food in 2-3hr span), then I have my IFish days like today where I eat maybe two slices of cheese in the early day and a brat at 9 ish then the rest in the small window.

best full body, functional strength/speed/flexibility, multifaceted, ect ect workout ever brah!!! maybe just try out some shadowsparring, or just work knees elbows and kicks the majority of the time??? sucks with the shoulder man, my left wrist is all kinds of jacked up from the bagwork lifestyle.
