My article was in issue 206 or you could type my name in the search engine and find it that way.
You would be better off doing 10/10 upper/lower reps, instead of 5/5. Good Luck
Two weeks into the 100 rep program for chest & biceps. I’m doing my chest b/c it’s sore after every workout and my biceps b/c they’re lagging. So far not much change but I’m going to increase the frequency of my chest&biceps frequency. There has been so much positive feedback that I had to give this program a try. Anybody notice any benefits of doing this while on MAG-10?
Gashman,
Let me know your protocol (100 rep breakdown, etc.) It will work, but sometimes the variables need to be slightly changed. Let me know your information.
Alright i just started the program today and love the pump i get after every set…Ok here is what i did, standing calve raises off the bottom step of my basement stairs, 25 reps, at 4 different times, 12, 3, 7 and i’m gonna do them again at around 12 oclock before bed…now let me get this straight i do this everyday for the 3 or 4 weeks?? how am i set up is this a decent set up for a gain in some calve size and strength?? thanks alot guys, was very unsure about the 100 rep program but with allthe positive response i have to give it a try.
How much weight do you use for legs, chest, etc for your 100 rep routines?..what criteria do you use for selecting the proper weight for the muscle group?
I actually use no weight on any of my 100 reps. I do push-ups, curls, and forearms. To make it harder for biceps and forearms, I make sure I concentrate hard and go through the whole range of motion slowly, if that makes sense.
That protocol will work well. If for some reason you can’t spread out the 100 reps that much each day, just be sure you get 100/day one way or another. Use it for 8 weeks before switching bodyparts, let me know how it works.
Keep the load very light, around 20% of your 1RM. It’s hard to go too light on this method (the volume makes up for the light load) but it is very easy to go too heavy. Always error on the light side. Be sure to reread my article since it has most of the info you will need to be successful. Let me know your progress - it works!
My 100 rep protocol consists of 25 pushups and 25 DB curls performed 4 times a day. My normal workout for chest is performed on Monday and biceps are worked on Thurs.
I’m thinking of increasing the frequency of workouts for chest and biceps to 2 times per week as per the “More Can Be Better” article. My main goal is to gain some mass. I’m going to incoporate MAG-10 in a few weeks and I may follow the Growth Surge program while simultaneously performing the 100 rep program.
Thanks alot, hopefuly this works out nice for me, will be sure to get back to you with some good results
That sounds good. Just make sure you keep the load very light. There should be little/no fatigue after each set.
Start incorporating 2x/week/bodypart in your training scheme as you mentioned. Make certain each of your 2 workouts focuses on building a different type of strength. For instance on Monday perform 5 sets of 5 reps for the bench press, on Thursday perform my Explosive Push-up Routine consisting of 10 sets of 3 reps. Good Luck!
