Im pretty sure im going to commit to this since i have learned proper healing techniques and my body is ready for the next level i feel.
Since im working as intense as possible daily and my extreme DOMS are usually gone by 1-2 days, where as year or 2 ago it took 3-4 b/c of eating habits and other distractions, i feel im ready.

Sorry if this is hard to read as i just copy pasted it

I hate volume. Jesus christ bro lol

Do you really think the volume to intensity ratio is appropriate? How often are you going to failure?

Well with this type of workload, it will be as heavy as possible with perfect form and last rep will probably just be the one before failure.

I'll be documenting all of the training in a laptop at the gym so I can keep track of the amount of weight and what not as well.

No matter how hard i workout, even if i do the heavy ass weight, followed by insane compounds, followed by failures... I am sore as fuck for 1 day, then eating like a freak, a message twice a day, plenty of water, 8-10h of sleep, ect, usually clears it up quick so i think it will work.

True and this is what I was also thinking, however no mater how hard I push I'm still only sore for 2 das max because of all the healing techniques.
So I'd figure givin It a try wouldn't hurt.

I don't like it at all tbh. But if you're gettin on a cycle then I guess it should be ok. Way too much and I have never been a fan of hitting the same muscles 2 days in a row (biceps on 1 day then back the next.) That routine looks like it will grind your shoulders up as well.
