| Well OSC, I agree with you on the olympic lifting, but then we are talking bb arent we. I know you used it as an analogy and I knew it was coming.;) I lift heavy weather it is reps of 5-20. I also change up my routine more than anybody that I have ever met. But I dont do the volume training.
Got a guestion for you. Did you start off doing isolation excercises or did you start out doing basic compound excercises? In my opinion, isolation excercises are useless without a foundation.

Anyway thats all I`m going to say on the matter....too many probing questions and just picking on tiny things and going off tangent to the original thread(I know what your after me doing and I aint letting all my secrets out;) )........ | |

Lets just say the sweet spot is between 24-36 reps depending on which bodypart being worked. Is that considered volume?

| Cookie, can I just confirm the set rep range stuff please.
This may be on this thread already, if so then soz I missed it.
If the rep range is 24-36 for one body part then you could either pick one exercise and do 3x8 reps =24 then a second exercise 2x6reps=12. 24+12=36.
Or
3x12reps=36 then that body part is done? | |

| Per bodypart not per exercise. At least that is what the article suggested.

Its the reps for the whole body part so you could either do it for 1 exersice at 3x8(for the lower 24 reps)or 3 seperate exercises for 1 set of 8 each in a tri set...
Me I would make the workouts all set up for the 24 reps per bodypart then as strength comes the reps will increase..when you can do 36 reps per bodypart then up the weight and drop the reps...... Quote:

Are the sets to failure?:confused:
I do six sets for chest, 3 work sets, two excercises. So 3 sets at 8 reps is what? 24? Do I count the warm up sets? Why not take the body to failure and move on? Cookie you crack me up. Lets just say for the first excercise you do two warm up sets and one set to failure of lets say 8 reps. Thats 24 reps. Do you see where I am going with this?
This is me. I only count my work sets only. ;)
OSC, you can do better than this!

| Well I have been reading a lot today and am getting confused with all these numbers.
OSC,(or anyone who knows) according to that article then if I do bar curls for 3sets x 8 reps that is the way(according to that article) to increase strength and muscle mass. Then I must do this at least twice a week??
Lets say I curl 80lbs for 6 reps. Which is a set to failure. What weight would I use to complete the workout that article suggested. Also when I completed the 3 X 8 sets what would I do? Increase weight? change rep set scheme?
Forgive me I'm:crazy: | |

| I would use 60lbs then and when you can easily do the 3x8 you up the weight and go for it again.... | |
