Dest, I'd appreciate your input on the linked article(s) in this post regarding intense DOMS and overtraining: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/set-extensions.323778/page-14#post-4863858 (And how's the % BF coming along?)
I don't really go (hard) for DOMS, but in the past I've had the best results from my five-set workout, at least on compound lifts. I am at 239 presently. I added dumbbell "snatches" to the workouts.
I'd have to say the same (assuming you generally mean more than one exercise per workout). But I'm grappling with whether that was a function of the volume or the fact that I was younger, had more recovery capability, and had still not reached my peak. (So was that optimizing, or just getting away with something?) Presently, I couldn't handle 5 sets of the same exercise to full failure and then do a number of other compounds in a similar manner during the same workout. In retrospect, I wish I had tested the low volume premise on myself against higher volume when I was younger. Anyway, I've cluttered your thread enough with this tangential stuff.
Your 60 min cardio workout...do you have the opportunity or have done that workout out on water or within a rowing tank ? If not, is it because its convenient to move from the indoor rowing to your weight training without losing workout time ? Why indoor rowing instead of indoor stationary bike ? I do both since my teenage years...moving both outside in the summer/fall...lake (rowing) and road (biking) when visiting friends/family when traveling. wrbtrader
