what the hell is that?? There's this weird guy at my gym. I've never talked to him and for some strange reason he walks up to me and tells me about some bulking program he's doing... i was to busy wondering why he was talking to me to pay attention, all i heard was bulking and 15-20-25 reps... I've never heard of this but to me it seems like it would be for cutting? I've heard of 10-8-6 where you keep adding weight. so, i'm going to assume it's the opposite of that and the 2nd/3rd sets you're decreasing weight. haha this guy was really pumped up about his super cool program so it made it hard to understand him.

i asked a few guys about it at the gym and they said they've never heard of that either (maybe we're just dumb) then my buddy got all excited because he wants to let the guy do his program, and a few weeks into it go bs with him and ask him his secret for getting big.

To me, a rep range really doesn't constitue a program. And I can't imagine much in the way of size gains from exercise that is going to be nearly pure metabolic work.

Sounds like a typical gymrat douchebag who 'read an article' or heard something from 'this hyooge guy I know', which is exactly why I don't talk to anyone at the gym

mustang, you probably shouldn't worry about trying to find the logic behind what people are doing at the gym...most of the time it isn't there.

Why would it make a "cutting program"? You wouldn't be doing fucking marathon sets for cutting. Do aerobics if you're going to go beyond 15 reps.

Your program should stay basically the same whether bulking or cutting. You just slash volume & frequency when you cut to allow recovery.

That reminds me of one of my buddies way back when, he'd read some stuff from Arnold and was motivated to try some 100 rep sets, I'm sure as a 'shocker'.

So while we were doing our cool routine, the California workout - bench press and bicep curls - he'd be on a bench with like 5lb db's doing his thing. We'd start counting just to give him shit and mess him up '55, 56, 57, 58...'

i tried a random search and i found this program.

it's only mentioned for traps and they also have (12,15,12) or (10-12-10) or (12,10,8,6,12 ) (20,25,15,30) can someone dumb that down for me??

seems to only be on things such as traps, forearms, calves.

skip it either way. as was said before, some article written by somebody that he stumbled upon and agreed with because it was written to strike his hot buttons.
