Concerning my eating or training... Sorry to hijack this thread

I train to "near" failure I think Although sometimes I have to take an extra day off here and there. Got lots of things going on...

Concerning eating at night:
I wake up at night hungry and some of my kids wake me up throughout the night "every night to eat so I eat too"... Very busy person. I workout three times a week--that's all I've got time and energy for. Not easy workout(s) for me currently doing 5x5 routine. I train Bench Press on Mondays doing 5 sets of ramped weight or pyramid to a top set of 5 reps; Wednesday I do Incline Bench for 5 sets of a straight weight (same wt) for 25 reps; Friday I do Bench Press for 5 sets of a straight weight (same wt) for 25 reps.

For example, my workload is: (415+/- raw bp) I do for instance 5 sets of around 310 for 25 reps all paused and another day will pyramid up to say top set of 335 for 5 reps on bench paused "every week is heavier than the last". So, not maxing out but staying heavy. Sometimes, it seems that the only body part that has been slow to recover is my lower back everything else is doing fine. Gaining strength and weight on a constant basis--so it works for me. As far as my training, my goals are to Squat near four times my body weight; DL near 3.5 times and bench 2.5 times body weight---might not be inline with others goals.

As far as training goes... I wouldn't knock it or count it out until I've tried it. Done RDC routines and Ed Coan hybrids and Westside.... Heck, I've tried 20 rep breathing squats routines and liked them and lots of other crazy chit so who knows maybe I'm a little psycho That sort of training is not maxing out but definitely training to failure "I think" and I've maxed out like crazy during other workouts going over 100% of max upwards of 107%+/-

Matt:
I thought the same when I first started a 5x5 routine; I thought the person(s) who devised the routine were crazy that a person couldn't recover in that amount of time. Although, I do listen to my body... that is if I need an extra day of rest I'll take it. Just trying to be helpful, I know that this training has worked for me and thought it might work for someone else... Here is a link to the training that I do if interested:

as soon as you wake up have a protein shake,get ready,do what u got to do then half hour later have your breakfast.
for breakfast,id replace the oats with kellogs all bran tropical,
thats got bran,oats and dried fruit in it,much more better than plain oats.
basically like this:
1 scoop protein powder
2 cups milk
1 cup cereal
1 banana
2 tablespoons peanut butter

second meal
2 scoops protein
2 cups milk
50g blackberries
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 vita weats 9 grains
1 tablespoon honey

3rd meal(lunch)

200g chicken,steak or tuna
either 2 pieces wholemeal bread with olive oil spread on it or
1 cup brown rice or pasta,
large salad.

4th meal

50g raspberries
3 tablespoons cottage cheese
4 eggs
1 scoop protein
2 tablespoons flaxseed oil
oat bran
yoplait yogurt

straight after you walk out of gym

2 servings of your protein
60g coopers homebrew enhancer 1.(this is a combo of dextrose and maltodextrin).

then when you get home:

200g chicken,steak or tuna
salad consisting of greens,

before bed,
night time formula protein consisting of casein,

by the way,meal 1,2 and four i blend them altogether,taste isnt all the best but i didnt complain when i was on it,
and each meal is around the 1000cal mark.how do i know?cause i designed them.lol

"Naturally" from the gear...LMAO! That almost sounds like a contradiction in terms.
