    I used to when I did more full body style training. It's pretty cash. What's important is you train with intensity. Never be like the DYELs casually hitting sets with moderate intensity followed by looking at their phone and never working up a sweat.

      >What's important is you train with intensity
      Can you go into how to achieve this? I do full body 3x week. Almost all my sets go to 1-3 reps shy of failure if not failure. But I don't come out of sessions super fatigued. I walk out with a decent pump, but not all that sweaty. Next day, I typically have a mild soreness if at all. Am I missing something?

        I mean actually trying. Pushing your limits and giving it your total effort, even if you aren't going to complete failure on everything.

          What this guy said.
          Most people equate tiredness and sweat with effort, when that's not the case.
          Whether you're doing a set of 5 reps, or, a set of 20 reps on something, you NEED to have it where at least 5 reps (or, every rep if the number is under 5) are VERY challenging, to where you want to end your set either just about to hit failure, or, be within 1-2 reps of failure. If you finish a set and think "I could have gotten about 5-6 more reps out of that", then you're giving shit-tier effort for intensity and you're holding your gains back significantly.
          When you get to where you're finishing sets and the ONLY thing you can think of is how much you want to set the weight down and be done with it because you're feeling like your soul is exiting your body, then, you'll know you're doing it right.
          This isn't to say you CAN'T make solid gains not always going close to failure, but most current research dictates that you'll need to learn how to lift with intensity and intent on your sets to get the most bang for your buck.

        You have to keep your back horizontal and push the barbell to your pelvis, not to your chest.

    I used to but since switching to HIT there's no need to since my training sessions take very little time.

          It's for natties, since naties are limited by their joints and muscle damage. While roiders are limited by tgeir nervous system, so high volume is more efficient if you are a troony on growth hormone

    Usually, to save time. I pair chest with back, biceps with triceps, quads and hams. Allows me to go hit shit back to back with shorter rest periods because the two groups are non-competing.

    sounds good on paper but in practice you'd have to visit gym in nighttime so it's not busy and you're not the moron that hogs half the equipment

    would doing antagonizing exercises together have the same effect? like I do all my rows, then all my bench, etc
    this is what I do now so I'm not sitting on 9 different pieces of equipment and I don't take long, I do 3-5 sets of 8-12 reps of everything with as short of rests as possible, I come out of every exercise breathing hard and maintain a elevated heart rate
