I got to my heaviest ever weight training like this.
An athlete I trained went from 81kg to 90kg in 10 days while remaining under 10% (his body scan showed he LOST 1% Fat!) naturally at age 37.

When adding muscle is potentially life and death this is what I do….
- Alternate upper and lower body.
- Train on the minute for 30-40 minutes total each session.
- Use push and pull movements for 20 minutes.
- Use accessory work for 10-20 minutes.
- Use tempos and pauses as needed to maximise strength gains based on the needs of the athlete.
- Track strength numbers and make gains.

We also trained skills and mobility in these sessions.
We were generally in the gym for 60-120 minutes.
