Pavel (or others),
I have read in several of your books that you recommend that people training for both strength and size alternate between blocks of high volume work, and low volume strength training, as outlined in Easy Strength. I have recently started to take your advice and use some of those low volume programs, but, like Dan John, I hate medium and really crave the volume. Do you see any problem with doing upper body work for volume along side lower body Easy Strength-style training, and then switch to high volume lower body work and upper body Easy Strength programming? It seems like this will give me my volume fix while still providing the needed break from it. I think I am going to experiment with something like this once I can get a program worked out.
