Bro you really get mass from this? Just looks like a hell of a lot of volume for mass. But if it works then more power to you man.

Yeah coming off a 10 week strength routine. Been reading a bunch of stuff from Charles Poliquin and others to cycle between strength and volume but for only about 6 weeks(GVT). Also Vince Gironda stated that periods of high volume training would help achieve maximum muscle growth quickly(not strength though) and came up with the 8*8 system. And then another body( forget who now) trained only 2/3 exercises per body part but to failure every set. So I mixed them up into a routine which is actually lighter than some I've looked at(because I think they are designed to be done on cycle). Haven't done it before but I am going to give it a shot after I'm done with my 5/3/1(first time trying it and enjoyed). I've done the SL5*5 before and liked it a lot just moving along. I plan on trying everything(that seems creditable) at least once, and figure what works best. I would love to try Olympic lift routines also for awhile, but the only one is out of town about 40 min away but its ran by Gayle Hatch and is supposed to be top notch. Never know until you try.
