Finally, Pics. Not anything exciting though...

I checked it out, didn't look like that much volume, it just feels like it because you had pretty much all chest work on day a week.

It was definitely a high volume program IMO, maybe not for the exercises you specified... (only squatted once per week for example), but definitely high volume overall.

but you still don't want to lay it down for me? I specified movements, like horizontal push/pull. Did you just do a bunch of isolation flies?

hm, well I don't understand why you are only considering horizontal push/pull as being important... what about vertical push/pull and etc.?

Ok ok, i'll lay it out.

monday 12 sets horizontal push and 10 sets calves
tuesday - all pulling 28 sets
wednesday mostly vertical pushing, and isolation 20 some sets total
thursday all isolation for arms and forearms
friday all legs - 20 sets

I think it's a lot of volume.. it was all with maximum weights for sets of 8-10 besides a few heavy sets at 4-6 reps. Most days, specially back and legs, took me at least 2 hours.

It's a lot more than those beginner programs that look like this (I actually did this one before)

"Squats 3 X 5
Bench press 3 X 5
Deadlift 1 X 5"

Wow AZN Dave, you lost 55 lbs? That's awesome dude! I know what you mean about guys wearing small shirts and skimpy pants, I wouldn't want that either. I want to cut down to look lean and see where to go from there, who knows, I might even bulk before I lose most of my fat, I wanna intimidate people Keep it up dude! Good luck with whatever program you choose.

So I'd definitely bulk if I were you, and I'd use the 10x3 waterbury routine. I'm a big fan of this as you will be lifting heavy and you get high volume. The 10x3 stuff can take some time, specially if you do several 10x3 exercises on the same day (I don't remember the program that well, but I remember it was good) I spread out what I had for 10x3 over 3 days, so one 10x3 every day and the rest of the big ones something like 4x6. With 10x3 you will get A LOT stronger and bigger. Of course, it depends how your body responds, everyone's different, but you can't go through life without having tried the many sets low rep method

i tihnk the way you set it up is exactly how he describe it in the program?

10x3 for one exercise each day, then 4x6 for the other lifts.
