Ah okay. I’ve never heard of that guy. I do, however, watch the Squat University page on YouTube and follow all of that guy’s advice on squatting and have found a definite increase in my form and squat-ability since I started.
 
Eh, it varies man. Leg days typically take a long time especially when the rep ranges are 5 and below because I definitely like to take time in between each set to allow my nervous system to recoup. I’ve found this also allows me to “feel” my body better and keeps me from pushing through pain. If something hurts, I stop. Plus I’ve gotten a lot better and smarter about the way I warm up for squats. I’m tired of being injured all the time and using that as an excuse, and I’m finally at a point where I’m not really hurting anywhere, so I’m just trying to take a smarter approach to lifting heavy. Chest days and shoulder days really don’t take forever, maybe an hour and 10 minutes if I’m hitting more secondary movements.
Back days where I’m in low rep ranges can take the longest because I definitely take awhile in between sets to just chill. My lower back has suffered for a long time and the reverse hyper machine has helped me “fix” my bulging discs, but I also and going slower now and am more deliberate with my form and making sure each rep is a pretty one.

Ok nice thank you. I have had low back pain since the military, blame it on fast roping and jumping. So i know how you feel there, days i can barely move. At 38 I haven’t learned the if it hurts stop yet hopefully I will soon.

I wish my gym had a reverse hyper. My back has been completely jacked lately and I really need to get it in better working order. I know if I strengthen it it'll keep it from hurting too bad, and that's really all I want. I've had bulging discs for a long time and now I apparently have a benign tumor on my L2...explains a lot with my increasing back/sciatic pain over the last few years.

I'm sure getting it strong will keep me going without surgery for at least a couple years. It's just real hard to work it without hurting it more. I'm not sure how to do that

I can directly relate to your reasons, however at 29 I believe I’m just now starting to feel the pain since I still have 8 years till I retire.
I definitely encourage you to check out Squat University on YouTube and also make use of a Reverse Hyper if you’re gym has one, because that has absolutely helped me in managing my degenerating discs. Hope this helps man

Man that’s fucking terrible to hear, I’m sorry about that. I will say that the Reverse Hyper helped me basically fix my bulging discs (now obviously this probably only lasts so long as I continue doing them), so I definitely encourage you to seek a gym with one so that you can find some relief brother. I know all too well how debilitating it can be to have your back be screwed.

Thanks man. Yeah I think I'm going to buy one myself honestly. Outside of my gym it's an extra 20 minute drive to any others so I'm kinda stuck there. But I can always buy one for my home gym. Definitely going to do that

So, yes and no. Really it all kinda depends on the training/mission. But I definitely eat as much as possible whether it’s clean or not to compensate
 
Good job bro....better to pull back. Tren is of Satan.....best to just be done with that mess. Grab yourself some of that TPP/NPP/Mast P blend and just run about 450 per week and roll with for a good while. My two cents
So 450mg/wk like 1.5ccs since it is a 300mg blend, or 450mg of each compound in the blend for a wk, so like a little over 4ccs a week?
