POWER-BUILDING SETS | Big guys feel free to chime in!

It's important to ride in a powered wheelchair or a "rascal" on leg day, and 3 days after leg day, otherwise you will overtrain.

How do you guys arrange you sets so as to make the greatest strength/size gains?

Personally I have been blasting 20 work sets for all bodyparts. That is to failure each.

Would maybe going to failure on the last 1-2 sets/exercise give better results?

go to failure, your last set or 2.

have you ever seen ronnie's, jay's, kevin, dorian, etc's video?

they all pyramid their sets, and max out on the last set.

going to failure too often will lead you no where.

powerlifters never train to failure either.

Yeah that is what I am thinking too. I see keving doing 4 all out sets of 4-10 reps on smith machine presses and incline bench but on the flat he worked up to one work set of 500 pounds for 4.

to me that is overtraining.

2 sets to failure per bodypart. just think of how much more intense ur sets would be and also how much more weight u would lift.

20 sets to failure is way overtraining, if u HAD to do 20 sets i would not do all to failure.

im sure no one will only do 2 sets to failure per bodypart, so how about a compromise - 4-6 sets to failure.
