Ahhh ..Well.. If you insist. What is my deeper underlying reason? What is the true meaning of my routine? Is there some type off symbolic reasoning?
Heres my attempt to explain it. hahaMy main focus is still reps. So I warmed up with 135x20 and 225x10 to get the blood in the muscle, make sure I dont tear something. Then I did 275 for 10.5, a warm up would usually only be 8 reps, but wanted to see what I could do. Maybe hit 12 reps for a PR. Didnt happen. Was feeling slightly beat up. Then I attempted 315 for a rep PR. The first attempt sucked, only hit 3.5 reps. Got pissed, tried it again Got only 5. 7 was my goal. Then while I already had the heavy weight loaded on the bar, I figured Id throw some tens on and do 335 for a single, before trying 355 and 365. 335 was just to get the feel. 355 was again for the feel. And 365 was a PR attempt. As you can see the one rep lifts were secondary. Then I wanted to finish up with the reps. 315 wouldve been to heavy to get decent reps with at that point. So I knocked it down to 300 for only 4 reps. Felt pretty finished. So I did my last set with 225x18 to make sure Im feeling some soreness tthe next day. Soreness has always been a gauge of efffectiveness for me. That was the main part of the routine. As for shoulders ,speed bench and rear delts. Would you like me to explain those also? Heres a brief explanation: I did the speed bench with 160 since Brute reccomended it and I respect his views. I did only 5 sets of delts because my shoulders take a good beating from flat bench and inclines, since I train chest 2x a week. No shoulder presses since I already hit the fuck out of the front delts. Mainly side raises to hit the side area of the shoulders. (medial deltoids) Some rear delts to balance out the shoulders.

Beast if I may offer some advice:
It would probably work better if you stuck to either working really heavy or doing reps. When you do a lot of reps to failure before you go heavy you expend a lot of energy which could have been saved for the heavy weight. If you just concentrated on the heavy weight and skipped the stuff in between you would be able to go a lot heavier, thus making the heavy reps more productive. High reps are really taxing. Now, if you want to concentrate on the reps that is cool too, just dont try to set max PR's because you have lost to much strength on the previous sets. I used to do many sets too, and I found that my gains were much better when I focused on either the reps or the weight. Just a thought. Your numbers are still impressive nonetheless. Great work bro.

Beast's routine really blurs the line between genius and insanity. It's insane because look at it: it just is. But it's genius because it FREAKING WORKS. He's strong as hell. If he's getting results from training this way, there's no way he should even think about changing a thing.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
