      How do you train?

      and why
      To follow on from "Do you train alone?"
      Is it programed or instinctive?
      Is it goal driven or arbitrary?
      etc

      I’m using 5/3/1 for my main lifts. I like it because you can auto regulate. On a 5+ day you can do the minimum 5 reps or you can rep as many as you can with the prescribed weight. It gives me rep goals each session and steady progress. I’ve done other programs in the past, but I always come back to 5/3/1 because of its simplicity.

      Simplicity is great and so is having specific goals in my opinion.

      I started out basically Bro lifting, then started to train to support my martial arts training. Then I started training for powerlifting. Now I train daily.

      Sessions look like:

      Cardio
      Shadowbox
      Squat
      Push alternating between horizontal and vertical every day
      Pull
      Hinge
      Carry
      Cardio
      Mobility

      Sounds repetitive but I'm rotating the lifts and staying in the 70-75% range, reps between 3-6 on most lifts, occasionally go as high as 12 reps where the weight isn't heavy enough to be 70%.

      I repeat each specific lift every 14 days and add weight every time I repeat an exercise.

      Sounds complicated but it works. Haven't been sore and the weight on the bar keeps going up.

      I pick a body part and have a plan to attack it...lately I have been watching some of CT fletchers things to come up with crazy sets or lift combos. I lift because I want to live longer and it makes me feel when I put in good work in the gym. Its almost like I earned the right to sit on my ass and have a beer after a great gym session. Maybe that's why I lift 6 days a week.

      6 days split (have a plan set but changes based on aches and pains and recovery)
      Prefer training alone but do train with clients when I can.
      Rep range 6-10

      I've done a lot of different training styles over the years with different purposes in mind or sometimes just out of ignorance. Right now I probably would best describe my training style as "lost alone in the woods after dark".
      Holy shit...14.5 months and it's here...

      ...angry!

      For real tho, I usually have a general idea of what I’m going to do, as far as exercises/volume/weight...but then will adjust it to how things feel when I get to lifting.
