Have you noticed how people say this?>I'm not listening to what that guy says now, he built his body doing that other routine 10 years ago, but now he's promoting this other style of training, despite him saying its better, I'm not going to listen to him, because again, he didn't build his body doing that, he built it 10 years ago doing something elseThis is completely illogical, and it's easily debunked. What you did 10 years ago has absolutely zero bearing on what you've done in the past 12 months or 6 months or whatever. I built up gigantic upper traps from doing tons of very heavy power shrugs in 2012, thats 13 years ago, but I haven't done power shrugs in 5 years or so, and guess what? the massive upper-traps I used to have are no longer massive, they shrunk down, because guess what? your body morphs into whatever you're currently doing, not what you a long time ago, what you did a long time ago has zero bearing on what your body looks like now.Therefore if someone is doing a low volume HIIT and is still looking jacked, it doesn't matter if they did a high volume brosplit 10 years ago, their body is still clearly responding to the current training stimulation which is allowing them to keep all of their gains and continue making more, which means it works.This is just an example, I am not actually promoting low volume HIIT training, Im just saying Ive seen people dismiss that style of training with the reasoning that the people who do it used to train high volume traditional brosplits... and that they some how magically maintain their gains from 10 years ago doing a training style that doesn't work - if that was actually true, they would lose all of their gains.>B-but Maintenance volume is much lower than GainingThats true, but it doesn't mean you'll magically maintain your previous achievements if you're not doing the same kind of intensity and specific exercise selection (again: the heavy power shrugs example I gave)
Unless you are retarded you should be able to keep muscle mass from your previous routine
