I went from an average hour in the gym. Hitting the weights hard every day. Then 3 weeks ago I started a 12 week Pilates program and my body has responded insanely. I only do it for 10-20 minutes a day. I take an hour walk (not everyday) because I have a desk job and need to walk or I won’t. The body has really responded! These guys know a thing or two because they have seen a thing or two!

This is so me. Years of consistent training (even when I travel) because I love how I feel when I train. The thought of training less gives me anxiety! I've started to cut back on volume so I can still go 6 days a week.

Me too. Was doing three full body workouts a week but now I perform the same volume of exercises over 6 days. I also don’t do a long morning walk any more. I split up the walk time between early morning, after breakfast, after lunch and sometimes one before dinner. My energy has skyrocketed! And the weight is starting to come off.

For years I was told by doctors to "eat less, exercise more." Worked my way into eating disorders, addictions. 20 years of begging to have my thyroid looked at seriously (other health issues-infertility, difficulty swallowing, joint swelling, just to name a few). Finally after my fight of being heard, got proper care, I got diagnosed with mestatic papillary thyroid cancer. Age 44. 8 years later I still find myself struggling with letting go of the "Eat less, exercise more" comments from my doctors. I know, they lack knowledge and training but, for the last year I have hired a coach, on a journey to compete. My goal is to push my body as far as I can working my way into physique and bodybuilding. I struggle hitting my macros (mental struggle. Yes I'm in counseling). The process is frustrating as with post thyroid cancer care, we often have to see our doc frequently. My endocrinologist keeps saying "competitors eat too much, you will never meet your body goals eating like that. 1535 call is where I'm set at. I'm gaining weight! (Granted tons of stress, moved, job, night shift and now an injury from work which took me out of the gym) . But not seeing my body start to shift, not seeing transformation, is so frustrating! I'm not blaming my thyroidless body but fuck! This is so much harder compared to when I had my diseased thyroid. I am or was set on weight training. Cardio was my normal daily dog walks and trail hikes (with my dog) . I'm struggling with trying to find balance in trusting the process and not going back to the doctors standard diet recommended 1200 cals. Which I know I'll be in disordered eating and starving my body and preventing my gains. I'm just frustrated. Lol And I don't want to quit. But man!

Thank you gents. Been doing this 10-day split to alleviate CNS bleed-over to other workouts. This became an issue after years of consistency and I really started noticing SFR interference. So based on this idea, I think I will extend that concept and try out a 15-day split (1 on 2 off) for the rest of my maintenance phase though Sept and see how things go. I think the hidden bonus here is the ability to increase per-workout volume because the recovery-phase is more pronounced.

I am 58 and just started HIT, Mentzer style. Going well so far. The breaks are allowing my dodgy shoulders to be ready for the workouts. Strength gains, no soreness and 2 lbs + in 2 weeks. 2-3 30-40 minute workouts a week. Balanced diet, creatine, hydration, good sleep. Seems like a winning formula for my older, hardgainer body. I normally go too hard, tweek an old sports injury and set myself back repeatedly.

This year around Feb I started working out 4 days a week, maybe 30 minutes if that, with a random one mile run on off days. My wife made fun of me, that I was only in the garage 15 to 30 minutes. After three weeks she started seeing results and wanted to join me for my workouts. She wanted to workout 6 days a week, because of course if we’re seeing results with 4 days, 6 would be better. 🤦🏻♂️ she didn’t last long. I bought MAPs anabolic last week and will be doing that with her. We’ll see the results in 11 weeks. After that, we’ll check out MAPS 15 minute in the fall.
