WOW!!! Im trying to take that in and figure it out. Thank you. I really wish i had a good partner, or even a knowledgeable person to train with...it would help me so much. Unfortunately i don't, so i look in areas such as this forum.

Now i see what u meant, i did raise volume and lower the intensity, by dropping way lower than my 1RM, yet train in a higher rep range...if im understanding correctly...

So i'd be looking to stay close as possible to my 1RM, and complete around 5-10 reps in that target range for 3 sets total perhaps??

As far as the program thing, i understand i was not educated enough to start a program, and thats why i picked the DFT 5x5 because it was very cut and dry....pick a weight you can complete 5 sets of 5 with...easy stuff (like i said earlier i didn't really have anyone to ask advice from personally)

Until then i had spent over a year "over training" on the one body part per day scandal, if you will. I had realized my errors though, and that was why i picked DFT 5x5, i felt i needed a "program", and as i stated it was so cut and dry.

I really dont mind going 3 or 4 days, it doesn't matter for me i have the time. So maybe i'll give what I talked about above a shot....though today i did workout wrongly, i worked the higher Volume, and lower Intensity...eeekkkk...oh well just one day, will get back on track Wed.....Again Thank You!!!
