what do you think of this statement?

"Coach Staley realized after several years that the key to getting bigger is to simply do more volume in a designated time period at each workout. For example, if you did forty total reps on the bench press in a fifteen minute time frame with three hundred pounds, then your goal at your next bench press workout is to do a minimum of forty-one reps. As long as the total reps go up, hypertrophy will follow. To start off, Coach Staley had his trainees take their ten-rep max on any given exercise and he had them do as many reps of five as possible in a designated time period called a PR Zone (Personal Record). As fatigue accumulates during the PR Zone, the trainee will simply increase the breaks and decrease the rest periods. As your conditioning improves, you will be able to do more reps in each time period and thus get much bigger."

I think it's another guy trying to claim he discovered something that's been around forever and putting his own twist on it. Not saying it's not a good way to train though.

Here's some other guy explaining how the basic idea works and doing a better job of it.

"If you get a pump with heavy weights you shall grow. You need the volume to really deplete the muscle, but you need the tension to increase the amino acid uptake. Now if you lift really heavy like a powerlifter and rest for five minutes in between sets, you have the tension but don’t have enough fatigue. If you start using the little color coded dumbbells and do a hundred reps, you have the fatigue and the pump, but not the tension.

But if you set it up like this, if you use a heavy weight and do reps of five (not taken to failure) with only one or two minutes of rest for up to twenty sets, you’re going to be able to use a heavy weight and get a great pump. Every bodybuilder who’s tried this approach has reported sensational gains."

I can see how that would be great for your first exercise but wouldnt you feel really weak after 20 sets of five. How would you go about your next exersize? Like on bench you would do 20 sets of five at a high yet comfortable rate what are you suppose to do when you do decline the same 5 reps 20 sets.
