less is more

[teedubgee]

Recently I switched back to high intensity low volume training due to time constraints. I've only been doing 4-6 working sets per muscle group, staying between 4-8 reps, and only lifting 4 times a week. I'm sure there is a good deal of results contributed to the fact that I was due a change in my routine, but shit! My strength has improved on pretty much every lift and I'm definitely lookin a lot thicker. Anyway, does anyone else lift like this? Fuckin get in, hit it hard, then dip out in about 45 mins :sport:

45 minutes? shitttt.. I only train one body part per day but im in and out in about 25 minutes. Ill do about 15 sets in that time too. Id love to stay in the gym for an hour, but like you said time constraints dont allow it..

i do that alot when energy levels are low... cause sometimes those long workouts are just too much for me.

i believe switching it up every few weeks is important for new growth

I seem to feel alot better when I just pump it.
In n out in under 45 is what I try to acheive. MInimal resting between sets.
But some days I just can push with that intensity n feel like I'm only going through the motions.

that's how I have been doing it, but it's my time to change for a while. I now do the 11-13 reps with 4-5 working sets. I'll run this for about a month then go back to how you're currently doing it for a few months. I've figured out that if I do it this way, it works best for me.

I've been doing less but I am also doing ligther weight 15-20 reps for the killer burns/pumps. It's amazing the change already in the two weeks I have been doing it.. Cleaned up the diet, hit the cardio every other day and keep a high intensity workout..
