Nice, similar, I don't do "tonnage" but that would be more accurate to check total volume rather than reps/sets/weight.Cool, me too!
Here I thought I was the only one.
I used to love running Vince Gironda's "Honest Man" workouts, his famous 8x8's. Did them exactly as he did...30 seconds or less between supersetting 2 exercises for 8 reps each, 8 sets total, then changed exercises and repeated. Did this with a total of 8 exercises, so 4 complete sets. Usually took about 45 minutes and would do the same workout once in the morning and again in the evening as he did.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33497853/

The mechanisms of muscle hypertrophy and their application to resistance training - PubMed
The quest to increase lean body mass is widely pursued by those who lift weights. Research is lacking, however, as to the best approach for maximizing exercise-induced muscle growth. Bodybuilders generally train with moderate loads and fairly short rest intervals that induce high amounts of...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Read into these as much as you want, but all signs point towards training to failure as the predominant source of progress in well-trained individuals. If you aren't "well trained" then you probably don't need to go to failure.
Yessir, Google Sheets.
His methods are severely dated and not based in science or widespread anecdotal evidence. Not saying they won't work - almost anything can be done to make someone look jacked, but they are not the most effective by any means.
This is the basis behind Escalating Density Training(EDT).Cool, me too!

Must be pretty good...I was bigger and stronger than you without steroids. At age 40+
Your limiting factor becomes cardio, not muscle strength.
post pictures with height and weight. I know very few who are actually bigger than me - and they are all on steroids.
I am unfamiliar with his 8x8 method, but I will for sure read about it later after I am done with work. I am familiar with the personality. Gironda dips are one of my favorite callisthenic exercises and I do a ton of them on chest day.
I had a big 3 of 1420 lbs at 188 lbs, I was in the elite category for all of them(squats, deadlifts, bench/decline) for my weight, I didn't need to get any stronger and in fact, my joints eventually let me know I reached the limit of what it was going to allow me to do.
Great numbers, but emphasis on *had*. Where are you at now relative to this?
Is that a "no" on pictures?
If you're squatting 225 for sets for 5 you probably look like a guy that squats 225. When you put the work in and eventually squat 500 for sets of 5, you'll look like a guy who squats 500+. Even the journey from 225 to 315 will show aesthetic improvement. The weight will never lie or deceive you like the mirror and ego.
Facts. People want an easy alternative. A guy that can squat and deadlift 500 lbs looks like it. Everyone in the room can see it (and they usually move out of his way).
(Kick) boxing. But only recreational . I went from 94 kilos to 79 ! Last night I went under 80 kilos for the first time this year ( my fighting weight was alwas around 72/74).
Yup. One of the harsh facts of life. Your body kinda shows what you're capable of or not. I've now reached 70 kilo (160 lbs?) with benching, and my arms have never been bigger.
