New training plan in the works...

For the past several months I have been training very unconventionally and making great gains. I have been training each bodypart, every workout an average of 5 days per week! Only exposing the bodyparts to 3 tough sets each; I feel will not lead to overtraining. It actually gives the muscles hardness and more density. This plan is counter to anything I have ever read in magazines, periodicals or on the internet. Every exercise guru stresses recovery, always allow the muscles, joints, ligaments adequate recuperation between workouts, etc. At 45 years of age a program like this is not supposed to work!
I hit the gym hard, supersetting everything, every single workout. I average 7 hours sleep each night during the week and maybe 9 hours on Saturday nights. I consume 175-190 grams of protein per day. I eat clean. Basically I do everything fairly right. I do have a high carb day once per week, usually Saturdays.
Anyway, my work schedule is about to change, allowing me weekends off and more time to train and get adequate rest. Within the next two weeks I plan to return to a more balanced, mainstream workout and provide myself a break.

I will train with a conventional bodypart split averaging 5-6 days per week. I will consume a wee bit more protein and I will average 8 hours sleep per night. I will try out some new pre- and post- workout supplements as well. I will keep you posted of my workout changes and progress.
