Well, there it is. I only do a light leg workout because I want the majority of my recovery to go to my upper body. Besides, my legs get bigger if I LOOK at a squat rack, let alone do 50 sets on one.

My original intent was to do this for only eight weeks or so. However, and even though it's only been about three weeks, I can see that I've become a volume junky. Someone here warned me about it, and it's come to pass.

What a waste of time.

Why on earth would you need to do that many sets? What are the advantages other then burning calories?

Nothing.

Waved volume is a good thing, if you overtrain for 4 weeks on a higher volume, lower intensity routine then switch back to a low rep, strength based protocol good things can happen.

but that seems excessive...

All I can say is not to knock it until you've tried it. I would've said the same as the rest of you until I used it myself. It's true that less is sometimes more, but when I tried it myself, I actually saw results. And, it wasn't just me, my friends and my wife commented that I looked like I had gained some size.

So, say what you will. But, you can't argue with results.

The only results would be from sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. I can get that with some basic metabolic work at the end of my tension stuff.

Please explain futher.

 

[SgtSlaughter]

High volume shock treatments are great for when one plateaus in training.

Don't knock it til' ya try it. And if you don't need to try it, congratz you're gifted keep doin' what your doing!

 

[super_rice]

where are the suspended swiss ball inversion penis tucks with 60 second 5# isometric curls to to 35 degrees?

those work great for five sets.

 

[TheOak84]

i dont think 50 sets will shock ur body to do anything...

i prefer wave loading, speed training, 5x5, or a hybrid routine...

i tweek my routine every 4 weeks, sticking with the same exercise, but doin it a diff way.

ex:

i did wave loading on squats for 4 weeks,
the next 4 ill do low box squats, possibly some speed work
so on and so fourth

theres no need to go to a dramatic routine makeover to get results

 

[Anthrax Invasion]

Please explain futher.

No.

Go look up sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, or metabolic work, or anything like that. It's been discussed too many times, and I'm not going over it again.

Thanks for backin' me up, bro. If no one wants to listen then we'll be two of the few that know the secret.
