longlac, take measurements with your arms cold and maybe some pics of your entire body in order to asses body fat levels. measure your waist also to help gauge any bodyfat addition. now do the training these guys are telling you to do and see what happens, give it a couple solid months to see what happens and remember, "less is better" as they say.
i have to say i am a bit shocked that biguns was the only one to post any pics at this point, there are some extremely built guys on this board that i thought subscribed to this low volume training.
i started training at about 14 years old and i'm turning 38 in july this year and all i can say for me is that i wasted a lot of time with all the intensification techniques and the "don't train them directly" and the "don't overtrain" stuff that all i do is shake my head, "cause it didn't do jack for me."
give me enough weight that i will fail anywhere between 6 and 12 reps and let me work through anywhere between 16-30+ sets for any given muscle and lets leave it at that.
wanna know when i got my weakest body part(calves) to grow? when i did 30 sets with a weight that i failed at about 4-6 reps and i did this 3 times a week, instead of shrinking to nothing from overtraining, they finally put on some meat to where i wasn't embarassed any more.
