Best recovery methods.

New to the lifestyle and wanting to figure out best recovery methods. I like to train hard and takes me about 2 days in between workouts to recover.

Post your workout and stats
Rusty?
60 pull-ups sets of ten
20 dips sets of 5
Then 100 incline bench sets of 15 til I hit 90 then 10 more
100 curl n rises with tricep bar sets of 15 til 90 the hit ten
Then 100 wrist curls sets of 25.
I alternate between the triceps bar and bench in-between sets. Lockout the pull-ups back to back and dips. Couple minutes inbetween sets
What are your goals? There is a lot of volume here and not much intensity or exercise variety. I consider myself an intermediate and I’m lifting five times a week, ~20 sets per muscle group made up of 6 or 7 different exercise (per group). You have no legs, no isolations and no strength work going on at all. I’m curious why you think you need PEDs? It sounds like you need to figure out diet and programming and come back after a few years of training naturally. This is some grifter, David Goggins, try-hard-for-little-actual-benefit shit.
I was running 6 miles every morning after my workout but I injured my leg and ankle. I'm here to learn. I just wanna be fit healthy and get big. I'm getting close to 40 and have come a long ways. I was 228 mostly fat now I'm 203 building muscle and losing fat. Got rid of the moobs and completed a lot of personal goals. I'm getting serious about my journey and just looking for advice.
If your goal is to build muscle then that workout wont help, plus it has a lot of holes and discrepancies in it, because there's body parts and muscle groups not being trained.
There are many routines that can be adapted to your way of life and goals, for example:
- the bro split routines
- the pull and push routines
Do research on those 2 and learn how to train your whole body properly.
Also look for high volume low weight vs low volume high weight in training and time under tension (TUT).
All basic things in weight training.
(John Meadows was a great coach with a lot of wonderful videos based on proper training and techniques.)
I would spend some time looking through the forums here, especially the training forum. This site is as good as having a top-level coach IF you take the time to educate yourself and learn what works and what doesn’t instead of just blindly following orders. Unless you have a medical issue that needs to be addressed by a doctor, you do not need PEDs. Try a routine that has three to five exercises per muscle group and focus on three or for sets of six to ten reps. This is the most basic template for gaining strength and size, in my opinion. If you keep doing what you’re doing now, I think you will continue to get injured and fail to progress in any meaningful sense.
How about train less as hard and 1 one day in-between workouts or less as hard for 2 days and 1 day off. 2 days on 1 day off
That's what I keep being told but in the moment it's hard to stop -- --. Guess it's time to listen.
For me personally I'm making a lot of progress lifting 3 days out of the week. I have it arranged Pull, Push, and then Pull/Legs. I do 7-10 lifts 3 sets each totaling 21-30 sets each all to failure where I just roughly keep mental track of the number of reps. I used to do a standard bro split 6 days out of the week with 18 sets total and made progress but it took SUBSTANTIALLY longer despite the increased volume of lifts.
Plus 90 and 100 reps? Why?! Put more weight and do less reps. 10-failure reps 4-5 sets.
