I lately have been training with a routine like this:


an exercise for each bodypart.......3 sets per exercise and about 2 minutes rest in between sets.


it takes about an hour to complete.

20 sets or so.


hams and quads have their own and then this is what the rest of the routine looks like.....

hammer wide grip presses  3

db rows  3

side laterals  3

db curls 3

one arm cable pushdowns  3

db shrugs  3

seated calf raises  3

as I mentioned earlier......hams and quads have their own day......3 sets each......lying leg curls......standing leg curls.....leg presses.....squats.....l eg extensions.

I'd like to hear from guys who use fast volume with minimal rest between sets. Guys that do something like 5 x 12, 6 x 10, or 4 x 10 for an exercise with 45 to 30 seconds or less between sets trying to get the burn.  Many successful guys trained like that.

I have a lot of questions. Does it bother you that you are using light weights seeking the burn instead of training like the  guys pushing heavy weights for  long rests in between sets?  Maybe it's my ego but I have a problem grabbing a light weight even though it's hard as hell to train with a fast paced workout using volume.

Any thoughts?
