1. 7 years of dedicated training and dieting. I could write a book on this, that's really what it comes down to.2. Sticking to the basic exercises and knowing when to push hard and when not to. I could write a book on this as well.

I WOULD TOO. What are the basic lifts you have always done that have gotten you the greatest muscle building results?
I WOULD TOO. What are the basic lifts you have always done that have gotten you the greatest muscle building results?
Squat, Chins, dips, bench, military press, deadlifts, and good mornings. Nothing fancy.
I am 27 years old, 5’8 and 170 lbs at 12% BF. I was severely overweight up until the age of 23 when I dropped all the weight. I have been lifting for about 5 years. I don’t push around very heavy loads, but I train hard in an effort to build muscle. What would you set up/ suggest for a guy like me in order to make the best/ quickest muscle gains possible? Lifting protocols, splits? Full body? Volume/ frequency? Diet?, etc… Any guidance would be greatly beneficial.

Have you considered Strong Lifts or Ice Cream Fitness 5x5? Advance German Volume Training could be another option to look at. Given you want to follow CBL during it. May I ask what your training experience is like? MI40X did a really great job in adding muscle for me
I have done mostly full body workouts in the past. Nothing ever was strength based, so I never really developed to lifting heavy. Lots of main lifts in the 8-12 rep range. I have done a lot of Upper/ Lower splits, 1 or 2 push and pull splits, usually always with a dedicated lower body day. But the majority of my time training has been full body. I have always pretty much kept with a volume load that was too high
Pretty much all programs work about the same. That being said, Tex listed some good programs. I particularly fond of German Volume Training.
I just wrapped up the mi40x2 program and had decent results. Kiefer had mentioned he doesn't like CBL for it though, but is a huge fan of the research supporting the inter-set stretching under tension of the program. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
