Posted a while back about nearly dying from meningitis. Here's my transformation vid.

Sup brahs some of you probably remember me posting about nearly getting K/Oed by meningitis and losing all my gainz.

Here's a transformation vid I made of the 8 months that passed shortly after that phase of my life.

Love you brahs and thanks so much to those who supported me in that time. Got some very nice msgs from you sikkunts.

Misc trolls but actually bands together when bad **** happens.

Give it a like if you enjoyed, means a lot.

to the best!

I couldn't incur much muscle damage in one workout because I was risking myopathies like myositis and stuff, so I started off with minimal sets & intensity, on a 7x/week split. I actually got myositis in my calves after hospital and had to spend another month bedridden.

Then dropped to 5x/week full body. I also did an upper lower split 3x/week during that time period.

Basically, I trained each muscle a MINIMUM of 3x a week, usually as high as 5x.

And yeah, so that you can recover properly you need to be quantitatively tracking volume (AKA how many hard working sets) if you're going to train with high frequency like this.

Doing 15 sets of chest a week will destroy you at high frequencies. Reason being, your work quality is so good becuase you're fresh at the start of every new day, meaning you can lift heavier weight and so each set creates more stimulus (& more fatigue too).

I tracked literally every ****ing rep I did, and I still do.

If I hadn't tracked and just gone by feeling, I'd have absolutely ****ed my body and not recovered.
to the best!

Thanks brah, repped.

The thing is with training, science can kind of point you in the right direction, but nothing can tell you what's best for YOU with much accuracy.

The best approach (& the one I used) was to start with very low volume (e.g. 8 sets per week per muscle group) and methodically increase it until you you can't tolerate any more.

This requires that you track like you're ****in obsessed with the data, because a data-driven approach will ALWAYS outperform the wishy washy "oh yeah I trained hard that session" feeling-based approach

No clue bro, they never found out. I suspect it was from swimming, but I don't know for sure.

You said 15 sets a week of chest is overkill if you’re doing high frequency

So how many sets and reps of chest you do each time you hit chest/in one workout? Since you do high frequency
