Title: Doug Hepburn explains his favorite routine
Post by: IroNat on June 18, 2025, 11:18:19 AM
Go to 43:00

He details his progression on paper at 1:07:00

There are various versions of his routines on the internet but below is in his own words.

Quite simple in design.  One thing I noticed is that he determines how many sets to do in a workout (the goal is ten) by how he feels that day.  He says he doesn't push himself too far in a workout so as not to exhaust his CNS.

If he feels strong that day he does more, if he feels not so good he limits the total sets in a workout.

If he gets 10 sets he adds weight.

There is no planned number of sets to do each day except for the goal to eventually reach 10 sets.

This is in contrast to the many versions online which usually say to add a set each workout.

The A workout is 10 singles.

The B workout is 10 sets of 2 to 5 reps.  You could say 10 sets of 3 for convenience but his notebook shows him doing anywhere from 2 to 5 reps per set.

He mentions a C workout but I missed it as I didn't listen to the video in entirety.
