[/quote] What exactly are you trying to accomplish here? Doesn’t look like WS4SB at all either. What is the logic behind those 13 sets of low reps at more or less the same weight with no warm-ups?

8

Keep doing the same weight within 60 seconds of rest. Its not a max for 3 reps its your 95% the weight you can do for 3 reps. What I mean by fatigue on the last rep is I couldn’t get it by myself. My warm up is working up to the 95% weight that I do for the working sets.

Is there a better strength training program I should be going by?

9

I think CC was trying to get across that maybe doing 13 sets of nearly the same weight for 3 reps isnt the best idea.

WS4SB has you WORK UP to a single max effort lift for 3 reps, not 13 sets of that weight.

All of your other exercises are following some other set/rep scheme, almost none of which I can find in the WS4SB article… Where are you getting these numbers from?

10

Just some guys I workout with. I was going too light on that day and it was the first time doing these types of sets. Basically why I was doing 13 sets was because I could still do the weight but that was because it wasn’t my 95% weight I could lift for 3 reps.

I’m going to check out WS4SB.
