I can see why you are going backwards in your strength and size.
From my perspective you are doing way too much. Now if you were 21-22 and on juice I would say it looks great. But you are constantly breaking down the muscle tissue without letting it fully recouperate it seems to me. But what do I know. I do sets that only have one rep in them. |

Thank you for your help Buf (highly appreciated). I feel much better when I do cross fit. It's kinda depressing to see my muscles disappearing instead of growing. I'd like to try DC training but I'm not sure it's for me. In the meantime I'm going back to a 3-day split (Mon-Wed-Fri) and cross fit every other week (bodyweight exercises put less stress on my joints).

I'm not sure I can DC train. I'm afraid that I'm gonna be stuck at some point (not being able to increase the weight).

I have found that the less I do the stronger I get, the more I do the weaker I get.
I still train each body part but do only one compound movement for each body part with 5 sets, maybe 1 or 2 more depending on what my body is telling me. BUT, I also got much bigger. Not sure where you are in your mindset, fitness or bulk. I'm guessing fitness in which case strength doesn't really matter, it's all about looks. |

I'm not all about looks like those girls you see in fitness magazines What I don't understand about DC training is how I can increase the weight each time without reaching my limits in no time. Today I did sets of Barbara: 5 rounds of 20 pull ups, 30 push ups, 40 sit ups and 50 squats for time Start 15:21:10 Finish 15:39:42

Try this then, do three sets each instead of 4. Eliminate the lighter set at the beginning.
This should cut out just enough for you to progress in weight. Remember as we get older less is more. I'm 58 years old by the way and still compete in power lifting after all these years with heavy weight lifts. 765 squats, and deads, 585 best bench two weeks ago. And ON juice I don't recover like I used to. So I fully understand where you are coming from. |

Wow you're strong! Don't you have any joints issues? I did sets of Garrett today (3 rounds of 75 squats, 25 pull ups, 25 push ups for time). Time was 9 min 27 but my wrists were killing me and my legs were fried.
