ThanX brother!! This is pretty low volume for me, but its getting back up there somewhat. Not the 30+ sets I did for back and 40+ weekly for chest. Most of those sets were also to failure. Now Im just feeling things out slowly.
High volume/ High intensity has always been my method of choice. Especially without drugs. KEEP KILLING THAT SHIT YOURSELF!

ThanX alot brother! Yes, it will be a long process. Even if I could train at 100% it would probabally take me a year or longer to get back to my previous form. Considering I cant push myself extremely hard without consequences its going to take a long time adapting and growing from the new training. Im training more bodybuilding style now with much less concern for the amount of weight moved. My focus is just to tear the muscle and strengthen the core to support my spine. KEEP KILLING THAT SHIT YOURSELF!!

holy shit bro.....I step off the scene for a little while and you go and hurt yourself again?! Fuckin Beast...what'd you do, go nutz and rip out your own spine after a crazy ass volume session?! lol...but seriously, what happened bro...I'm too lazy to search back through the thread to find out what happened. You seem to be doing great regardless, although I do understand this is subpar for your superhuman self. i've been real sporadic with my training myself....hopefully I'll find a way to get back to training full time once I can rearrange my work and business schedule. until then you still continue to inspire...keep doin what you do bro. KILL THAT SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! Peace.

haha ThanX for the kind words brother!! Much appreciated!! I have an extremely difficult time holding myself back and because of that Ive reinjured myself countless times. Its not something I learn from. Still Im trying to slow things down now, but that only lasts for short periods of time before I get fucking insane again. Just the nature of the beast!! Basically the main injuries Ive incurred are 2 herniated disks in my mid back. I crushed them over the wear and tear, all the years of brutal high volume/heavy weight training. I tend to ignore pain and shake it off. Train thru anything even when I was in a real bad car accident. I would take a hot shower for my back, when I was closing in on a 400lb bench press and ignore the pain and white lights Id see.
In ignoring the pain, I crushed my disks. Also a year before that I had many back injuries as a result of Beast Lifting and Deadlifting. (these back sessions were 6-8 hours) So I cant put all the blame on one movement or a single day when I noticed it. The deadlifting and beastlifting was a bad idea for me though, I did most of the damage on those Im sure. Especially the Beast Lifts with up to 730lbs off the rack. Even my dumbbell rows were 150lbs for 30+ reps per arm. That has to torque the spine as well. I benched twice per week. One day for inclines, another for flat totalling 40+ sets. All heavy and too failure. Not to mention all the other shit I did each and every week with no breaks. Only a few days off a week. 11 years of this was bound to catch up to me, but this much I expected. I had hoped it would happen later though. Now I just have to learn how to adapt to the pain and feel things out. So my training is more bodybuilding style for the moment. Youll get back into it brother!! I know how it can be trying to get in training sometimes. Ive always arranged everything around training. Really for me its a fucking disease though. It will FUCK my SHIT up in the end!! Thats all part of the fun though. Again I really appreciate all the encouragement! Keep me updated on your progress and continue to KEEP KILLING THAT SHIT yourself!!
