Anyone tried the ROB (Rest Only Briefly) training method?
« on: August 07, 2006, 03:30:40 PM »
Has anyone tried the R.O.B. (Rest Only Briefly) method of training espoused by Rob Thoburn (see http://www.robthoburn.com?  I'm curious if anyone has seen gains with this method.

His method in a nutshell is:

(1) For all exercises, lift as heavy a weight as you can for 5-8 reps.

(2) Rest only 20 seconds between sets. For some people, I suggest resting 50-60 seconds for quads (squats, leg presses).

(3) Do 8-20 sets per muscle group, depending on your goals, level of experience, and frequency of training (how many times you hit each muscle group per week).

(4) Try to hit each muscle group at least 2 times per week.
