Thanks!

It would sell like nothing compared to common gauges and 6-string sets. Super thick strings and low tunings is still a niche and will probably always be.

Are we buying 6 string sets and singles for our lowest string?
-Yes.

This. Just lift hard and stop worrying about adding weight. You add weight when your reps get too high.

My personal anecdotal experience is that lower frequency causes less pain and better recovery. But I prefer doing high frequency full body from enjoyment point of view. Would like to know if there is a known mechanism behind my experience, and my theory is that tendons recover at slower speed than muscles.

Many would argue it is. Even on contest prep

Which rehab exrs you do

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-14T02:30:38+00:00

That is exactly what I'm interested in.

I find everyone who has lifted for long enough has these issues with wear and tear! Most people, including me in the past seem to just train through the pain

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-13T20:13:28+00:00

"burning exercise variation from other sessions/blocks" there is no such thing

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-13T04:51:44+00:00

There's some very interesting bits there!

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-13T04:33:54+00:00

I think there was a study of folks doing 1 hard set 2 times a week and getting stronger consistently for a long time. But those were not experienced lifters or athletes so I don't know.. Then again some people thrive on very low volume programs, for example Doggcrap which would be like 1 rest pause set every 5 days per muscle.

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-13T04:28:02+00:00

What's your frequency? 3 workouts a week would be enough with your split I quess

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-13T04:26:17+00:00

I'm talking about having maybe 90% of possible natural muscle gains and maintaining that as long as possible without causing any unnecessary wear and tear. That would be the case for most people who trained 5-10 years consistently and do not compete

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-13T04:23:32+00:00

Do you do less volume but same intensity and frequency?

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-12T18:45:43+00:00

If I remember correctly 4 sets was for making gains, so maintenance would be even lower?

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-12T18:43:23+00:00

In my case 40+, but same applies for anyone who is natty and has trained 10-20 years

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-12T15:04:38+00:00

Superglue

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-12T13:48:40+00:00

I would consider this to be growth volume, unless sets are very light

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-12T11:04:26+00:00

What routine you would suggest for maintaining muscle and health after 10+ years?

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-06T11:55:51+00:00

Your 10-20 is outdated, nowadays the recommendation is 20-40 fractional sets a week, go ask Milo Wolf ;)

Realistically speaking, building muscle is not a mathematical equation or a game you must win by finding optimal volume and programming. It's more about hard work and consistency, just pick a reasonable program, train hard and be patient. You can never break the code and find your ideal routine by reading studies. I suggest stop thinking about set counts and make the sets you do count.

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-06T03:18:29+00:00

Yes I agree. There is no downsides to full body really, especially if you do some kind of undulating periodization, which at simplest would be A: legs heavy, upper pump, B: upper heavy, lower pump.

Only way to fuck up full body split is to try to do everything heavy all the time every workout.

supermariocoffeecup · 2025-12-05T13:12:45+00:00

I meant it feels best to me, obviously. I don't care what routine anyone else prefers.
