Chad I liked the article. I think I’m going to try it with my back soon. Starting by monday at the latest. I’m thinking some type of rowing movement. I don’t think it matters if you change rep protocols from day to day right? Like if I do 25 reps 4 times one day then the next day cause I don’t have the time 50 morning and 50 at night. I’ll obviously try and stick with a particular scheme though. My current meso should be done in 6 weeks. So I’ll let you know how it progresses. Remind me if I forget.
I like Dan John’s 100 rep thing better. You just pick a total body lift, like squat snatch, clean & press w/dumbells or a barbell, clean & jerk, deadlift, etc & do 100 singles with 1:00 in between. (that’s one minute) I still haven’t done it yet, but it sounds better than doing 50 reps nonstop because heavier weights can be used (from what I understand-I might have to re-read Chad’s article).
I didn’t read the article in full but wasn’t the premise related to “endurance”?
I meant to address my last post to you. See above.
Drax, I think you may need to reread Chad’s article (or maybe i do). it is my understanding that you do the 100 reps a day every day you do not train that particular muscle group. I think of it as more of active recovery then additional lifting sessions. I remember reading a article by (I think) Dave Tate that said that one of the Westside lifter broke a plateau in his bench simply by doing 100 reps a day of press-downs with a thera-stretch bands. I think I am going to give Chad’s program a try for my hamstrings since my hammies are sore for 5 day after a hip dominant workout.
I get it now, it’s just active recovery. You’re doing GPP like what the Westside powerlifters do to increase their work capacity.
Drax, are you suggesting a 2 hour set? Maybe I’m reading you wrong but you said 100 singles with a minute rest between each one. That’s aproaching 2 hours. Wow!
