New Routine
Has anyone tried the consolidated routine? I think I'm going to take a crack at it. I have been doing my current routine for about 3 months now and am looking to switch it up for another 3 months. Also, how often do you guys switch your routines?

I like it. However do you have any concern about wear and tear on your joints when you sprint? I've kind of filtered out any running/sprinting as I'm getting older. For cardio stuff I'll use the stairmaster, bike or just walk.

Interesting. Cool story. :)
Best Squat Alternative?
I’ve been doing traditional squats but looking to swap over to a machine style so I can push deeper to failure. I’ve already got leg press in the routine, so this would be an additional compound movement My gym has plenty to choose from: Hack Squat Roger’s Power Squat Pro Arsenal Pendulum Squat Belt Squat Which of these would you choose?

Drew. I have been doing Bulgarian Split squats with a 5 second down and two second up cadence. It's absolutely brutal in a good way. I think I started at 4 reps and after 3 months I'm at 9. I basically fell over on the last one. HaHa.
OLD SKOOL INSPIRATIONAL PICS - with HD Training & Natural
These pics are from years of training the HD way — heavy-duty, natural, no shortcuts. No BS, no hype, just work put in over time. I’m posting this to kick things off and get some momentum going in here. If you’ve got progress pics, training clips, or even just a set you’re proud of — throw it up. Doesn’t need to be perfect. Doesn’t need to be flashy. Just real work. This group gets better when we actually show up and train, not just read and scroll. Let’s see what you’re working with 💪 MR

Here's some flat bench with dumbbells with neutral grip vid.

@Markus Reinhardt Yup. Press movement. Neutral grip so it's easier on the shoulders. Trust me, I went to failure! Couldn't do another concentric. :)
Horrible week
Kina fell off the wagon last week. Drank too much, didn't workout, even called into work. All due to some important financial decisions I have to make soon.. Good news is that I'm back on track. Got in a good HIT routine yesterday and still had some small progress on my routine believe it or not. Trying new creatine with HMB to see if it makes any difference. Hope everyone has a good week!
