for example, alternate back and forth between these two:

8 weeks  low volume failure training 6-12 rep range hitting every muscle once every 72 hours

8 weeks high volume sub failure training 1-5 rep range hitting every muscle once every 72 hours?




the recommendations arent set in stone but just a general idea of what the training would be. based off what i think has worked best for me.

the idea here is to maximize growth during the hypertrophy segment and make leaps up in weight that will transfer over to the subsequent hypertrophy segment during the powerrlifting stage. this ensures optimal growth and no platues? by ffrequently making jumps up in weight you force the muscle to grow larger


if you disagree with the recommendations for making optimal hypertophy (low volume failure training in the 6-12 rep range every 72 hours), or you disagree with the strength training recommendations (high volume sub failure training in 1-5 rep range every 72 hours), or both(and im sure alot of you will disagree with those in some way or another), then i would still want to know if you agreed with the genral premise of alternationg between a hypertophy and strength stage in order to guarantee progress

Here's an idea I have. Set a bunch of ranges out in a simple program. How many exercises 3-20? How many reps 3-100? What type of exercises compound or isolation?

The program would then spit out a completely random work out.

You would do a completely different workout every time you went to the gym. There would be no rhyme or reason to it. The body would find it almost impossible to adapt.
