How long is very long?
Seems like the more crazy my training gets the more progress I make. Lots of BBers in the 70's pre GH/slin did crazy workouts as well. Seems like HIT has made modern man weak. I think people should stop doing what BBers now are doing (I think low volume works well if you're pumping gh/slin into your system) but pretty much every huge natural / roids only successful bber did absolutely crazy volume AND they were strong. Just my observation

By long Oni I mean the whole journey, your lifting life and I was specifically referring to that article.
There's nothing wrong with that sort of workout, obviously it works as you can see how his physique changed in a short amount of time but remember though that he had an entourage of people doing everything for him and that's all he had to for 5 or 6 months not to mention a multi million dollar paycheck which I'd imagine would be pretty fucking motivating.
But still, he followed the basic principles that all successful lifters/bodybuilders have done over the years, eat well, train hard enough to trigger growth, rest/sleep accordingly.
As for how much volume well everyone's different, my workout volume is certainly more than what I see in your log, on average I probably do 12 sets per larger bodypart totalling 90 to 100+ reps and 6 to 8 sets for smaller bodyparts and I don't do a lot of so-called isolation exercises, never have.
I also usually rest less the 90 seconds between sets and at times as little as 30 seconds.
But my frequency is less, typically being 4 days a week, sometimes only 3 days for less than an hour each workout.
I do however occasionally go a little crazy and have marathon sessions or workout every day for a couple of weeks like I did on my recent holiday break but that's not something I or most anyone else could sustain for any long period of time.
