ferocious

great effort. do you usually do one heavy set to failure? just curious.

 

[slobberknocker]

Yep. I grow well off extremely low volume.

 

[IronLion]

nice pr slobber, are you periodizing, or what? You seem to change the reps on your max lifts.

 

[sinjinsmythe33]

im finding out low volume is better

at least for chest and triceps.

I just increase the weight each week. I try to get anywhere from 1-5 reps usually, with just more weight each time. It works for me.

He only does 1 set a week. Why do you say it would overtrain you?

So you have migrated here, huh? Are you training?

I wanna see som pics or videos, Slobb....

 

[WarriorPL]

Yeah chest and tris are better in high volume for me too, but ill keep that for bulking.

 

[IronLion]

Well when one is not on some serious gear, the cns will become burnt out and numbers will go backwards if som sort of periodization is not used and maximal attempts are made each week

 

[revexrevex]

Well slobber drinks half a gallon of liquid d-bol a day, so overtraining is not even a possibility for him.

I had gains with this program when I was natural. I would just make much smaller increases each week. Usually only 5 lbs onto a lift per workout, or maybe a rep or two. But I still grew like a weed.
