I envy you’ll who can train high volume and it high frequency. It destroys me beyond recovery and ruins the end goal of putting more weight on the bar every without.
For me it’s super low volume low frequency low rep range. I don’t think I can emphasize enough how low the volume is.
Weekly routine I’ve followed since jan
Monday
Military press 1x 4-8
Bench press 1 x 4-8
Tricep rope extension 2 x 4-8
Thursday
Dead hang chins 2 x 4-8
Leg press 2 x 8-12
It’s worked great for me. My bw hasn’t changed much due to more of a recomp effect on the body combined with diet and gear, but I’ve gone from having L size shirts be baggy on me to having XL shirts be very form fitting. And waist has gotten slightly (not very noticeable) leaner.

After I ruptured my bicep its been all lighter weight higher reps. I always thought that you couldn’t get anywhere with this type of lifting but its been getting me back to my former self.
4 sets 10-12 every set once I reach 12 on all 4 I raise the weight.
My arm just doesn’t allow me to lift heavy anymore I can actually feel the tendon pulling my lower forearm where they attached it when I go to hard

I think most of us older gentlemen fall into that category now murph. I just cant throw around the big heavy weight like I used to. If I do my body just doesn’t recover like it used to and the chance of injuries sky rockets. So therefore I sit in the 4 sets of 10-12 reps range with lots of volume as well my friend. And I think most of us who are over 40 hang out there

Its smarter and safer injuries only destroy goals for long periods of time. Injuries also cost alot of money and take alot of time to get taken care of.
I also watch those videos of guys just lifting way to much and there legs snap like twigs or even there arms like chicken bones lol
It always makes me twinge but they are great to watch. I definitely feel bad for the guys in them though some of them could be lifting ending injuries
