Thanks so much for your insight bro it's greatly appreciated. I'm interested to see how it goes, does it cut, grow, both and at some point are there variations that can target one of those specifically. As you are alluding we've lifted big things but the goal now isn't that longevity and fitness with strong full muscles and hopefully as you mentioned adequately strong tendons and ligaments. I've been reading that 16-18 sets can give optimal growth and that's the number of sets per muscle group I'm working in the vicinity of at this point. Well it feels good to be picking a direction that feels like a good fit.IIRC it was Arthur "Nautilus" Jones who first pointed out that the Muscle doesn't know how much weight is on the Bar or Machine ... it only knows what it feels like.
Hopefully the Muscles, and the Mirror, will make us proud ... while bones, tendons, and ligaments whisper "thank you" for many years to come.
*** might not be the best way to train to reach our OL, PL, BB peaks, but for the been-there-done-that crowd whose peaks were at whatever level, it minimizes potential problems while still feeling like "I really DID something in the Gym today!"
