@@DrSwole I've been at it consistently for about 3 years now. I do MMA as well, so it's hard to be efficient with both. What about you? Hi from Berlin, Germany btw!
@@strikevince14 I train for men’s physique! Was supposed to compete this year but Covid got in the way so just waiting until things normalize a bit more
@@DrSwole I took your 3 day program and split the volume over 5 days (3 upperbody days and 2 lower body days). This suits me better for the moment. I don't like training for 2 hours, I noticed it was harder to stay concentrated. I might go for the 4 day program in a few weeks to add some more volume.
I like Mike's programing approach of starting low volumes at the beginning of a meso, and then adding sets throughout the meso to increase volume. Personally I start a meso with moderate to high volumes and keep the same amount of sets, but progress in weight and reps. Do u think both of these methods are optimal or do i need to start low and work my way up to a higher amount of sets, rather than starting and sticking with a high amount of sets?
Hey doctor swole can you explain a little bit more about your Ab training? I know you said you do a sort of ab training circuit with 3 exercises. What I’m confused about is what exercises to do in these circuits. I know the basic one is cable crunch, leg raise, and bicycles but aren’t you suppose to change it up every 8 weeks? Do you mind sharing some more of these circuits so I can try them?
I really don’t have any set circuits that I always follow. I would just recommend trying out different ab exercises and finding what works best for you
The fact your so nice to people even when they are rude shows what a great guy you are. Don’t listen to the haters, go for it and shoot for the stars. With the attitude you have you’ll go far.
@@DrSwole Dr Swole can you please make a video on “dangerous” exercises please. Addressing the upright row, lateral raise with thumbs down, leg extensions. Thanks a Lot.

I think both ways can work. I personally like keeping sets fairly stable throughout within a narrow range
Have you tried cycling set volumes more?
@@DrSwole not yet, but i'll probably try it in the future. Thank you for the response
@@slatermauro2092 worth a shot at some point
