Are "Bro Splits" Optimal When On Enhancements?

Ok. Probably not just me being weak then. Interesting phenomenon then, that 7th set. That’s when I had to start doing sets as 8+2, 7+1+1, etc.

Btw BBB isn’t just 50% for 5x10, there are different versions but I always liked the one that ramped up over a few weeks until you couldn’t hit the 50 reps any more.

i know, there is also 5x5 @80%, 5x30@90 and 5x1@TM but those are the opposite of 5x10 as they are much too heavy to be done long term, at least for me.

which book, which page, or can you tell me a bit more abt this? thanks

Sorry I meant that BBB isn’t just 50% 5x10, in different BBB variations, there is the BBB 3 months challenge and a few different ones were the 5x10 can ramp or increase each week. I think there is a good piece on Jim Wendlers website if you google 531 BBB.

Found the 3 month challenge from the t-nation article but if you google 531 BBB Jim’s own site has more detail.

I’ve got three of his books and used to do 531 a lot (before my disc ruptured), so I know there are loads of different versions.

Hope this helps. It’s given me the itch to do another round of the 3 month challenge soon.
