Having tried German Body Comp and Bompa’s routine for definition. I stumbled across an old Powerliting Usa article on fat loss for the strength athlete by Rick Brunner(not sure of the title at the moment). In it he said that long and slow was not the way to go as everybody knows(sorry about the rhyme)but that lifting in high volume was the key and that an exercise should have several sets in a row and not be done in circuit fashion. Also that one should start at 90% of max and progress down to 50-55% with short rest periods.Supposedly greater glycogen depletion occurs this way.
I agree - I incorporate alot of drop sets & reverse pyramids into my scheme. Besides being a good muscle blaster (when used appropriately) drop sets fatigue the hell out of you and no doubt burn some serious cals.
