Ahh ok that makes sense!
So you are lifting heavy too? 90% of a 1rm I assumed when reading that?

Some exercises I go heavy, mainly compound movements bench, squat, dead etc but not as much anymore. To many injuries. I try to train smart and really squeeze/contract during exercises whereas I used to just try and lift as much weight as possible ...and I mean I go about 90% of complete failure. I usually work up in weights until the last set which I usually go to complete failure. Sometimes with assisted reps after failure. I train high volume/reps on almost all exercises

Hit some heavy deads yesterday with legs and abs. Felt strong and def felt it the next day. Bis/tris today another good day of work. Weight is slowly creeping up

Training has been going great. After talking with a few people on here with more knowledge I have changed my split to 3 on 1 off.
Chest, delts and tris
Legs and abs
Back and bis
Rest then repeat. I'm thinking this will work better for my goals and keep me healthier injury wise. Weight was 223 this morning. Up 8 lbs which is really good considering I was sick for most of the first few weeks.
