As for advice — you probably know I’m not big on training to failure — but it depends on your goals I guess — that can work sometimes for gaining mass. I’d echo what you said about eating — you must have to eat a LOT to keep from losing muscle!

M: high intensity, heavy weights, single set to failure, across all major muscle groups (about 12 different exercises, going for the 1 second up/3 seconds down for constant load with negatives, 2 minutes rest in between)
T: rest
W: sets of heavy weights on shoulders and smaller muscles (but still not really isolation routines – still going for combo exercises); then, a 40 minute medium run
Th: interval running for 20 minutes, followed by 40 minutes medium run
F: sets of heavy weights for major muscle groups, combo exercises, going to 8 to 12 reps each set, etc.
Sat: rest
Sun: long run, about 10 miles, simply because I love it!

I’m in great shape as a result of this, but I absolutely have to each right to avoid losing muscle mass. Timing carbs right, and tons of protein. From what I can tell in your pictures, I’m about the same size as you.

Any pointers you think would fine tune things for me? (I know some of the answers you’ll give, but have my reasons for not doing them, but still figured it’d be fun to ask!)
