Cool interview with myself[/quote]
That was a great interview… I have one brief question about something you said, should I put it on the Training Questions #3 thread?
wild gorilla man,
those ladies are impressive…

A. Bench press x 3 reps
Micro-ramping (5 or 10lbs increments) starting at 60% of your max and working up to the max weight you can dominate for all the reps. Shoot for roughly 12 sets.
B. Close-grip bench press
Perform 1 set of max reps with 70% of the top weight you reached on â??Aâ??
C. Incline bench press
Perform 1 set of max reps with 60% of the top weight you reached on â??Aâ??
D. Push press
Perform 1 set of max reps with 60% of the top weight you reached on â??Aâ??
E. Dips
Perform 1 set of max reps with bodyweight only[/quote]
That seems pretty fun. When doing this are you doing only the one set of each exercise B-E or is there any warm up/practice sets? I would imagine you’d be plenty warmed up after microloading the first exercise, I just rarely see it where one just goes to an exercise and does 1 max set and that’s it. Although that seems like it would be fine here.
For this push/pull/legs set up how many days per week is usually prescribed?

No need to warm-up on the max rep set
I don’t really function with ‘‘days per week’’, although I sometimes will give a weekly breakdown for easy comprehension’s sake. Most of the time I recommend either a 3 on, 1 off split or a 2 on, 1 off split. I personally prefer the former, but those with poor recovery capacities or lots on their plate will do better with the second option.
Are there any more sites your frequent?
The interview was a good read. Shed some light on why you do some exercises from pins. Found that very interesting.
