high training volume in the form of high reps and low weights, switch it up and try working with heavier weights for very low reps. Just like with the cardio sessions, the idea is to make your body work as hard as possible to adapt to the new stimulus.

volume and excersise variance, i plan on competing within a year, thanks corey for your support i don know if we should post out
training since its not according to michaels routine i would continue to hear about your ideas, progress, your like me always searching as you get older safety and longevity are paramount, at the same time we want to kickass and make gains its addictive if you want i can leave my number corey take care and i wish everyone good luck and good health!!!!!!
