Hi Mate, I'm from Australia I'm 58 I'm used to training full body 3 days per week but often find recovery is slow, I've never done 2 day per week full body I'm going to give your program a shot, what would be the typical days you would do this work out, is it Sunday and Thursday?, any advice would be most appreciated
@@russneedham1701 Thanks for the positive comments mate. I typically train on Wednesday and a Sunday. When doing heavy compounds it's crucial to your development to fully recover before hitting the muscle groups again. Two days and then 3 days rest to recover works well for me. Thanks for the positive comments bro. Keep up the good work and I wish you all the best. Train hard... be strong 💪
Thanks for the reply. We'll I stated lifiting when I was 10. My Dad had a set of weights at home when I was young. That said, I was only young. I started in my mid 20s I would train for a few years then stop for a few years. I've done this for most of my life. On average 3 years on 3 years off. My latest spell off is 5 years prior to me starting to training again about 8 weeks ago. It's amazing how quickly the body reacts to hitting the weights again. Let's see if I can get anywhere near to where I was! Old school heavy compound lifting is where I see most gains.
Dunno mate I never counted the weight, it's about hitting the muscle and how it feels with good form. The weight is just a tool. The weight is quite irrelevant and subjective, whats light for one person may be light for another depending where you are on your journey. I try to stay strict then do forced reps and use momentum when nearing and beyond failure.
I've just checked the EZ barbell and it's about 50 kg. I know I can preacher curl 20kg dumbells. As for arm wrestling there is a lot of technique involved in that sport, it's not just about strength.
OLD SCHOOL TRAINING JUST CAN'T BEAT,

50cm biceps? 💪😎
I wish... only 18" my friend, that's about 45.5cm
You're strong though! How much kg do you lift for biceps curls each hand? Your arms look strong 💪😎Respect

Interesting approach. Isn't it still important to know if you can lift more than before? Maybe you can do armwrestling 2vs1, since you look strong 💪😎
