    Am I lifting enough?

    Ok so I lowered the volume of my training but I don't feel like I'm doing enough if that makes sense? I like training with lots of variations and overall volume so maybe it's just in my head but I just don't want to be slacking

    Well my last leg day was still with my high volume routine. I trained hard still with the lower volume now but I just don't feel sore at all. I'm gonna be increasing the weight now and see what happens

    I forget what your cycle is bro I'll have to go back and look, but on my last cycle I was working out twice a day 1 in my mma gym and 1 lifting and didn't really feel sore much. Here and there on some of my leg days I would. Other times I'd double up my back workout and want to do it all again the next day

    Just a suggestion but would lower the reps and up the weight.

    Question: Why are you doing so much iso lifts before your big movements (squats / deads)?

    Basically to pre-exhaust, I only do it when I'm gonna be doing compound movements. I do it for a month of training every other month. When I do it on chest day though it's also to help get my shoulders warmed up real nice too

    I really don't understand the pre-exhaust thing is that just for getting cut....you have to excuse me I've always been a powerlifter never messed around with small movements too much and never before a compound movement
