POWER-BUILDING SETS | Big guys feel free to chime in!
« on: June 06, 2007, 02:39:04 PM »
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?

Alexxx is looking big in his latest shots, he's obviously a very hard worker.

Failure prevents you from doing a movement more frequent, your CNS recovers way slower when you do multiple sets to failure.

I do my best every workout. I think the problem with me is that I rest way too little. On my off days I go run for miles outside or play football.

Your a big guy. Would you say going say like this would be better to gain strength/size?

set 1 70x10
set 2 90x10
set 3 120x10
set 4 150x6-10

And before anyone gets smart on me.. yes I am pretty.

Thanks buddy. Try this routine for quads:

full squats:
3-4 warm ups
1 set of 5-10 reps
then 1 set of 20 reps

I credit that program for getting the most mass on them. Rotate front squats with that too and go heavier every time you train it.

Yes that is why I blast it only once a week now. But still feel like I should rest. I will take this weekend off.

I think alexxx needs his own board here to truly lay down his philosophies on training and nutrition.

I don't think doing more than 5 sets per exercise beneficial (3-4 exercises per bodypart).. Of those 5 sets, the first three would be pump/warmup sets then the last 2 would be pushed to failure then use restpause or dropsets to exhaust the muscle.

Then you would also agree that walking more than 20 steps a day might over train your legs and lead to you never walking again? ::)

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.

not really alexxx, i think what you're doing is fine, you're a young guy and it seems like your diet is in order since you look like you're getting bigger, 3-4 sets with your top weight to failure is fine just don't turn it into 8-10 sets of the same movement.
