I thought it was a bot or something, 'though I visited his profile and he didn't look like one.

Film it from the floor so it looks like a 50 inch jump 8)

You should do that once. It would be fun.

Yeah I think he got from 80 kg for his work sets to about 100 if I remember right.

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.

Yeah I guess that's good.

My original plan was this:

WEEK 1:
3x8
3x8
WEEK 2:
3x8
3x8
WEEK 3:
3x5
2x3 MSEM

REPEAT

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

Yeah it sounds cool. I guess I'll do today 90x8x3 and go with 100x5x3 on Thursday. I might throw in a MSEM workout every now and then for potentiation/rest purposes.

Well it's squat + assistance (usually 2 supersets of 2x5) two times per week
and
Bench + assistance two times per week

The third day is an explosive and whatever day.

So it's:

lowerbody1
upperbody1
explosive (clean/jumpsquat and some back work)
rest
lowerbody2
upperbody2
rest

Yes but 3x8 and 3x5 with the same weight?

So if I do 3x8 on Sunday with 90 kg, then I should do 3x5 on Thursday with the same 90?

That song is great. Heard it first in a VC mix.

And adarqui looks a bit like Mike Miller.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / 3x8 or 3x5?
« on: October 30, 2010, 03:47:15 am »
That's the question. Is 3x8 good for my current goals which are hypetrophy and some strength or is 3x5 a high enough of a volume to generate hypertrophy with proper food while also creating more strength since heavier weights are used?

I tend to focus better on 3x5 because the sets are shorter so I don't lose my focus in the sets, but I don't know about the total amount of volume. 15 reps seems so little.

What do you think?

Why can't you guys use a plastic bottle full of water or a spray tube?

Why do you have to "buy" everything. I guess all you western guys are spoiled with money.
