Coming up on about 30 years of training with weights now. Tried so many different styles and methods over the years. All of them have value and their place for sure, but there are always ones that you like better than others or that work better for you individually. Started out training with weights for sports performance basic heavy programs for football. Late teens/early twenties got into bodybuilding style training, did 3 competitions during this phase. Mid twenties through early thirties got into powerlifting and strongman, did a few competitions just for the fun of it, nothing too serious. Would still do some BB’ing training, either volume or DC (both work great I think) just to keep from getting bored. By mid thirties, having kids/career/family etc with injuries starting to pile up from the years of heavy lifting got into more basic, athletic training - things like 5/3/1, Defranco stuff, lots of sprints, running, pushing the prowler, even tried crossfit for a bit, lol! Still lifting heavy though and kept hurting myself. 3 different orthopedic surgeries from 35-39. Last 2-3 years came back to more BB’ing style workouts. High volume, 8-15 rep range, bodypart split training. Made training fun again. Recently bought Scott Steven’s fortitude training and I’m absolutely loving (3 weeks in at this point, so a small sample size for sure)
I know there’s been a few threads on it here and there, but I just wanted to sing it’s praises a little bit. Really great, comprehensive program. I’d highly recommend anyone looking to try something different than what they are currently doing to check it out and give it a try!
