Recovery time becomes an issue with the heavy weight. By the third workout of the week, you want to kill self. It becomes a chore.

"reverse pyramid" isn't some weirdo's invention, it's literally as established and generic as doing a "split" - just a term for a type of workout lifters do

it's not like "starting strength" or "strongliftrs" where it's some dood's custom plan

its hard to do without gear, but CAN be done. you just have to be very precise with actual gains. i'm talking like using the pennies at the gym, etc.

i gave up lifting one point when i got too bulky and started effecting my athleticism. i'm basically a "bar bro" now and have been for about 7 years. pullups, dips, pushups, free squats, etc. but i do grapple 3 times a week so that is enough if i let it be.
