Ok, I'm completely changing my workout routine this week. Been doing a volume approach for the past six years, and now I think I may have had it wrong this whole time, which is why I haven't made gains for years, and seem to lose strength the harder I try.
I watched this Mike Mentzer seminar laying out the logic of heavy duty training, and I'm obsessed. Can't stop thinking about it and diving down this rabbit hole. At this point I don't have anything to lose by giving it a solid try for the next several months to see how it goes.
Seminar:

My new routine for the next few months will basically be this: https://youtu.be/852rGXEa5wQ?si=aBQUJ5_s2CL1HaTe
My initial metrics to gauge success:
1. Am I stronger every workout?
2. Am I more full of energy throughout the day?
Silly to think I've been stuck in a rut for so long, probably due to overtraining and under-recovering, so hopefully I can start seeing some gainz again!
