I'm sure many here have tried different ways of training. When I was younger, I liked hard, heavy and just pumping em out.
Now that I'm getting older, I put more thought into injury prevention and being able to train continuously without taking time off because of injuries or recognizing the beginning of problems and switching up or working around.
I mainly stick with light to moderate weights pyramiding up in weight with a rep range starting around 12 and ending around 8 and sometimes 6, controlled movements, slow negatives, iso holds, drop sets and really trying to focus on mind to muscle during peak concentrations. Honestly, I wish I would have trained like this when I was younger so I wouldn't have some of the problems I have today.
Right now I stick with an opposite muscle superset routine, even for legs. Leg routines can get brutal but pretty damn satisfying. I have shoulders on a day by themselves. I've had lots of problems out of them and this type of training lets me continue to progress without having to take time off.
What type of training do you folks prefer at this point?
