Currently I am doing 10x3 with 80+% 1rm with 1 min rest intervals. I like the explosive 3 reps with a fast pace using heavy weight. When I get 10x3 with a weight, I add 5 lbs the next workout. If I can’t get 3 reps, then I do only 2 reps, but increase the sets to get a total of 30. I don’t train to failure, which I ALWAYS did in the past with every exercise and set, the set now stops when I can’t explode the weight up.
very interesting.

Yea, I am just trying new things and right now it fits the bill, always subject to change.[/quote]
Master,
i’m doing since two weeks something similar to your,
just one compound (light incline bench,military press,etc etc),88% of my 1rm,1m rest,very explosive movements, 5x3 first week,6x3 second week,7x3 third week,on fourth week I try to add 2kg/5lb to the bar and start again.
I wanted to try something different after almost 2 years of rest pause training,Hernon style sessions were good but i’m lazy in deloading the bar each set:-) …with many sets of few reps I can concentrate on each rep,I felt RP to failure was becoming very taxing as I was always pretty tired (no matter how much- 5000- kl per day).
strangely(???) after first session of 5/6/7x3 i had serious doms like I was untrained…

Mike, I agree that 3 reps of 80+% 1rep max is very different than a lighter weight to failure. I think the fast twitch fibers are being used for all 3 reps for all sets which is more volume for that fiber type than when you use a mod weight to failure for a set or two.[/quote]
do you think is the case to add some sets with lower % of load after the heavier sets?
or it’s better to alternate one session with higher % and the other with lower %?
thanx
Mike

I have done an isolation or another movement for that body part with DBs for higher reps in the past, but right now I am just trying something like Waterbury’s 10x3. But I allow myself to change things as I fit since the name of the game is trial and error.
I posted in the other thread because I only saw the avatar pic but wow…amazing physique for any age, much less 49. Wow. Seriously impressed!!

I have to admit that I don’t take pics of myself very often and was surprised on how old I look. You guys need to enjoy your youth while you have it.

I know this is probably sounding like a broken record, but what you have built is very motivating/inspirational. Thanks for taking the time to post about your training and the photos.
From the chest and tri shots, your shoulders look pretty awesome to me. There must be something to that spec. routine.
Hey B, would you consider competing again? You’d clean up in masters’ division.
