*RICH*
You have always been on point with my questions. The advice is honest and sincere (I feel).
My leg surgery was pretty nasty man, I got a clot and my leg was totally dead. This led to multiple organ failure (blood poisoning) and I was put in an induced coma for 6 weeks (Dr’s told my family I at deaths door). But I fully recovered and pulled through. However, I’m dependant on Crutches and a wheelchair to get around and I can’t feel anything below my left knee. So I would say for the meantime, Legs are out of the question, big lad.

Thank you to absolutely everyone who has replied and put there 2 cents in. Love it 💙🤍
There is one other thing to add to the mix, I am 100% natural. I’m only throwing that in (as if it makes a huge difference) because I’ve read and seen so much on FBEOD is probably best for naturals.

Cheers Oscar 👌🏻

I was diagnosed at the end of last year with multiple mental disorders. It’s effected everything in my life.
But I totally understand where you are coming from, and the principal of training more frequently. I think had I discovered you back when I started in 2007, I wouldn’t be asking as many questions as I do today.
I guess better late, than never.

Maddy
Are you talking about FBEOD, yeah?

To all, thank you🙏🏻

Thank you to everybody.
I did make unbelievably quick progress using the JP method before my near death experience 😆
My body is just alot more fragile just now, but the itch for training is in point.
Once again guys, I really appreciate the input. It means a ton.

For Nathan & James:
Cheers guys, I really appreciate the insights and opinions, especially on sticking with a module for 16+ weeks and the benefits of training a bodypart 52× a year compared to 122 opportunities.
My head has always my worst critic. I can awesome and powerful one day, then BANG!!!! I feel like total shite because I’ve caught myself in the mirror or I don’t look as full after a training session. That’s where I’ll change the system because I blame the previous workout for not magically giving me back my size. It’s part delusional/part not being patient enough.
I read every work and sentence in detail and you guys have outlined very solid points.

Thanks to the both of you, it’s been a mad one for the past few months, but i’m still so passionate about weightlifting.
For Rich,
I’ve done so many programs my man, usually only for a week or so. I got diagnosed with various mental health issues the start of this year, and I think this has a lot to do with the chopping and changing.
I’ve been interested in and lifting weights since I was 17. I’m 35 now.
I’ve tried training like Arnold, Jay Cutler, Branch Warren, Ronnie Coleman, Dorian Yates and most recently JP.
I’ve tried fast reps, slow reps. High Volume, Low volume. MAX-OT, German Volume training and dabbled in light and heavy training and Serge Nubret style.
Ive done a hell of a lot of studying and research on developing muscle but my head gets so spun around on diffrent theories and who’s right or wrong. Messed me right up in a training sence.
At this point I just want to be picked up and placed on the right track. I still love weightlifting, I’m just lost at the moment.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Really do appreciate your time and feedback.

Hi Machaela,
What set and rep scheme would you suggest?
-
Hi Marc,
I can’t do any bodyweight movements unfortunately. The routine I’m currently using is all the above exercises eod, with one main work set, sometimes 2.
I want to keep it as close to what I was doing before I was admitted. It was on the guidelines of what JP recommended like as many warm up sets as needed with like 1-3 reps, then my main set aiming between 6-9 reps. Gradually pushing the weights up.

Hi Rich,
I might push myself to try and do dumbbell rows by supporting myself with one hand on my walking frame while rowing with my free hand
-
Yes, for the foreseeable future.
