Casanova, I hear you mate. I'm in my 30's so not so young anymore and have been training a long time! Re training partner and varying exercises, adding extra works you speak a lot of sense. Unfortunately, I ain't got no training partner...and there seems to be a limit as to the amount of variation one can do - you've got the big compound stuff and then the other more individual muscle specific ones seem to be limited. THAT SAID, I'll try to add more variation and maybe start noting the weight and working on increasing it. Although to be fair I do train hard. I still haven't started on the gear, apart for a VERY mild oral for a few weeks - which had negligible effect. I think I'll take what you've said on board - give it a go for January - and then see where I am.
