I could go with Kelly's money sets as well... like a set of up to say 6 reps with a weight followed by some volume sets. I just feel it's too complicated. I want to have a hypertrophy block right now for a while and then switch to lower rep ranges. 3x8 works pretty good at the moment (except the elbow and wrist pain) and I'm upping up in weight. I'm using low weights right now (like ~60-70%) and keep on getting them up. Right now I'm at 90 kg for 3x8 and I should plateau at about 105 from what I feel I'm currently capable of.

I don't really like staying at a weight and keep on trying to improve on that weight... if I stall I usually reset to a lower weight by like 10% or so and start going up again.

So maybe going with 3x8@90 tomorrow and 3x5@100 Thursday, then 3x8@92.5 and 3x5@102.5 etc etc etc until I stall is what I'll do.

I'm using squat + one-leg straight leg deadlifts all the way to the floor (they're great at targeting my glutes) supersetted with leg curls (I won't ever do GHRs again since they destroy my knees) in workout A, and squat + lunges++leg curls (++ = supersetted) in workout B.

And no, never did that. The most I did was 5x5 work sets with heavy weights in the past (like 2 years ago or so). I tend to quickly lose my mental focus and form when I do high reps per set... it's like I can't maintain my mind into doing the exercise.

You're probably right about the low rep stuff. Last winter I did my own 8-7-6-5 with the same weight as work sets.

So basically if I had 100 as my weight, I'd do 100x8, 100x7, 100x6 and 100x5 as my last set. That ensured I can maintain my mental focus during the sets, since I knew I had to do less and less reps as I went by with my sets. It worked pretty good.

When I stalled I took away one of the sets and continue on getting the weight up. So I might go with 8-7-6 or 7-6-5 (top rep set or low rep set eliminated) and go on with that. I wrote about this in the evo blog.

What kind of material is the inner sole made of? Rubber or foam? I can't jump in rubber shoes, only foam.

Film it from the floor so it looks like a 50 inch jump

You should do that once. It would be fun.

Nah, I'm going to stick with what you outlined. It makes more sense to wave a bit the volume and intensity of the workouts.

It has to be 40, looks to high even with the angle considerations.

I have just received a weird PM from Zetz... what's up with that?
