Ah Ok, thanks. Well one is from Holland and one is from Karachi, the Holland I can get for cheaper. Shall I get the Hollands ones ? Which are more likely to be fakes ?. Thanks.

This Organon is from Holland.

Hello I would like some opinions on which Sust you would go for, I can get either Organon or Karachi sust. I can get the Organons for slightly cheaper than the Karachi. Is there any difference in quality ? Is one more likely to be fake than the other ? Which would you go for and for what...

What about when you increase the weight though ? Say you were doing incline dumbell curls with 45lb dumbell, you get 2 sets of 10 reps no problems, the next week you up it to the 50lb dumbells but there is no way in hell you'll get 8 reps on the first set, especially if avoiding failure, maybe...

Thanks guys :)

Ah ok, so you would be hitting failure in the last set. Same as the last set of the 5x5 once you start adding some serious weight.

OK thanks for the discussion. I think I am going to try stopping short of failure in the high rep exercises as well now, I will treat it like the 5x5 and increase when I can get 2 sets of 10 good form reps. Should I completely avoid failure even on the last set of the high reps ? e.g. say I...

Wouldn't this just be your standard volume routine if you're not training to failure in the high rep sets ?? Seems it would be a standard volume routine but with a few less sets.

No offense, it may well be working for you......but needsize has specifically said to go to failure on the high rep exercises. From the mouth of the man himself "The 8-10 rep sets are to failure". He has stated it several times.

No its not....it came from needsize himself.

No.....Just checked over at s t e r o i d o l o g y.com...if its needsize's routine then the high rep sets should be to failure....

In needsize's 5x5 routine, the high rep exercises are done to failure right ?

Very normal. My bet is that you aren't warming up before that first set. Just do adequate warmup sets and take adequate rest between sets.

I think you are supposed to switch to 5 sets of 3 reps and then go back to 5x5 in a couple of weeks or so.

If you have been using 5x5 for a few weeks or so and then one week you only get say 4 reps on the 5th set should you just use the same weight next week and try and get 5x5 ?. Or do you have to switch to 3x5 ?.
