I think I've done 50 reps with 135 at a decent clip. But that took A LOT out of me. I was spent after that, and if I remember right, I did two sets of 50 reps. Might have been 75 reps, I'd have to check my old logs. Either way, I was wasted after that. :-X

i use perfect form. slow negative explosive positive bit of movemnent.

ill link the article on t-nation and when i finish tell yas what i think.

I have done the 2m.20s workout got 36 reps. i also took a very conservative weight due to injury and fact i not used to it. i am modifying it slightly where legs get hit 3x every 2 weeks.

I've done 50 rep on a smith machine.  I truly believe that you're body responds to heavy weight, but anyone willing to throw in a set of two for 50 or 100 reps really will reap the benefits.  I've seen huge benefits (including not being able to walk) by doing very high reps like that.  Its a good idea IMO.

Talk about GH and Test stimulation as well.

if you are going to do a 50 rep set you need to eat something after those 50 reps, you burn about 400 calories

U are on the wrong board. Please move this thread. This section is for bullshit, news and gossips etc...We are grown people here who have learned that training isn't rocket science, grab the weight and curl until u gets tired, rest and repeat. If u not satisfied with the result, take hormones :D

I trained with a guy who did 100 reps with 243 lbs in his prime.
He also did 20 with 200 kg - 445 lbs rougly.

He had gigantic legs back then. Over 30 inches.

I used to hit 315 for 20 reps every workout- total waste of time-for me anyway. No improvement.

Should have just kept 315 at 10-12 reps and keep going up to 500. After 20 reps with 315 it is hard to do many more sets.

No way.
Jesse Marunde, world famous strongman, did 98 reps with 218#. The last 5-8 were an extreme struggle. It's well documented on video too.
You're telling us, that you "knew someone" that could do 100 reps with 30 more pounds....and the world (let alone the keyboard jockeys here at GetBig) has not heard of him to this day?
Ummm, yeah. As SF would say....

When did Jesse do 98 with 218?
I think you're confusing him with his training partner "sarge" who did 98 with 218. The only high repping I've seen from Marunde is 20 with 405 lbs. Which is awesome.
I have a pic of him too, he's not just a "someone", he competed in Finland and in scandinavia.

http://www.marunde-muscle.com/videos...uatX98reps.wmv

From everything I've seen, and searched on, this was Jesse doing it. The above clip takes forever for my computer to load, so I can't say for sure if that's the one I saw. I remember "Shout" by Disturbed (I think that's the band that did it) playing at some point in the background.

But again, the point being: You know someone, and somebody with a pic (big whoop!), that out squats one of the strongest men in the WORLD. And his feat was miraculously never captured on film? Yeah, sure buddy.
In this case, film and photos are two very different things. Because in a photo, you can say "I saw this man do 405 for a thousand reps, his legs are brutally stronger than they look." In a video, it's cut and dried. You can say all you want, but if said person can't do it, it's right there for all to see. You cannot, under any circumstances, say that Jesse or Sarge (whoever in the above link) got a hundred reps once the camera was turned off and there was no more filming. He did 98 reps, and it's there for all of the world to see.
Yet your friend did 2 more reps with 30 more pounds. ::)

Don't get too excited, the above link is just one of the searches I did and you can see by many of the links, it's Jesse that did 98 reps with 218bw. One or two links down, there is mention of Sarge doing it, but the point is moot now, IMO.

Yes, that was my goal, could only get to 25-but  was drug free.

But even with drugs there is no way I could have hit 50 reps with 315.

A few of us tried to see how many reps we could get using 2 X 20 kg on each end of a 12.5 kg bar. Total weight was 92.5 kg or a few pounds over 200. Someone did 30 reps and then someone did a few more. I had a go for a couple of weeks and ended up doing 75 reps with that 92.5 which was about my bodyweight then. The most difficult thing was enduring the excruciating pain on the bar on the traps. I never made gains using those high reps because it took too long to do them. If you rested a little between reps you still had to hold the bar on your neck. I did deep full reps where the hams touched my calves. This surely is a mental feat.

Much better for hypertrophy is to work up to a weight you can do for 10 to 15 reps and then do at least 5 sets with that maximum weight. You need big muscles to lift heavy weights set after set after set.

I've also pinched gripped 92.5 kg with one hand on my pinch grip machine. Have it on film and video. That some of you guys are weak doesn't mean others can't exceed what you have done. My best full squat was 470 pounds. I did 8 with 410. I never did get big legs. Not like you see on just about all the pros today.

If I say I did something then that is what I did. I have no need to exaggerate or distort reality and I don't approve of those who do that.

Now iv seen the clip of sarge doing 98 w 218 it was impressive...he forced out rep after rep, paused for maybe a few sec between reps...

Im sure it can be beat if people really aimed at it.....

I'm sure it would be great for cardiovascular conditioning.  But my question is: why do it?  Are you going for hypertrophy?  You can actually get superior quad development sticking with sets of 10, and no more reps than that.  None of this 20 rep, 50 rep and now 100 rep stuff.  I honestly don't know why some of you guys do this to yourself ???

guy who owns my gym if 70. arnie trained there in 68' or 69' said he came in 180lbs on bar and done sets of 50 reps. This is neither here nor there. just thought interesting titbit.

Moreover he said he walked in and said noone talk to me till i finish training lol

For me anywqay it seems to be working. Gonna give it a go. worst comes to worse it will only waste a few weeks of training. Main reason i am doing it is that it is enabling me to squat whist rehabilitating my knee. happy for that at least

why 100?

why not 101/97/56 - it's crap.

goudy, the dense feeling you are feeling is just more blood remaining in the muscles and perhaps some enlargement of blood fibres and glycogen loading, especially seeing as, to date, your focus has been on heavy weight and low reps.

good to see you are rehabbing well and i believe your legs will get bigger from aforementioned but, as others have said, you'll get much better development with the blood products from heavier weight and more sets.

in fact, i am of the opinion that you should be aiming towards increasing the weigt as you rehab and forget about the 2-8 minute thing. it makes no sense whatsoever. it's just a stupid goal made by some masochist.

one guy would do 315 as many times as he could till he needed rest then the other guy would do the same,back and forth.
Lee said they could only do 15-20minutes till they started to keel over?.

priest is well known to be full of shit.

has also tried to say that his 1990s body was built on a sniff of winstrol and 315lb bb curls, yet in his training clips the most i've seen him cheat curling is 190lbs fully jacked up and training for a comp.

also saw him squatting and he barely breaks a quarter rom.

i don't believe a word priest says. he has severe small man syndrome.

thanks for sensible and informed resp[onse. yes it was done mainly to help rahb my knee. knee is very good at min.

also with a lot of my body i do density/time based traoining. worlks very well indeed. and i am getting stronger and growin very well of it.

when you say you're getting stronger, do you mean muscular endurance?

if anyone trains high reps they will advance very quickly due to the body more efficiently coping with lactic acid ie quicker removal etc/rom/stroke speed/psyche/respiratory system/psychology/technique/musculo skeletal economy, etc etc.

as far as pure strength goes, which is probably best tested with 1 rep, it may be a very different story. you will probably find you will lose strength if you train long enough with extreme reps because the body will become less efficient at firing the fast twitch fibres.

at the end of the day it all depends on what your goals are.

good luck.

I used to hit 315 for 20 reps every workout- total waste of time-for me anyway. No improvement.

Should have just kept 315 at 10-12 reps and keep going up to 500. After 20 reps with 315 it is hard to do many more sets.



you fucking idiot: doesnt matter in what rep range you lift, nothing will happen unless you add weight to the bar.

you should have done both.

lower reps to push strength and have a back off set with higher reps.

thats the best way you to use 20 rep squats...to do them after a couple of sets of heavy 5s (or something)

are you one of those guys who thinks there aren't other variables of resistance?

I have a friend named Dragan Radovich.  He told me he does 400 reps with his own bodyweight as soon as he gets out of bed in the morning.  He does them everyday. 

I'm surprised you didn't elaborate more on this.

Onlyme is talking about the guy who outcurls anybody for reps at a certain weight at expos.  Probably more stuff but that stuck in my mind.
