I have always got the best results from training in the 4-6 reap range and even 3-4 but with the strenght increase caused by gear is this still safe? I am worried about ripping a tendon or muscle or something. Any help cause staying heavy is important to me but not as important as missing a whole year with a torn muscle. IP: Logged |

I am by far not an authority, but here's my opinion. I like to train in pyramids from 12,10,8,6,4 with each set being just on the brink of impossible to finish. On the 6 and 4 I want the last rep of each set to require a spotter to help just a hair. Seems to be a good balance for me. Good Luck. IP: Logged |

For heavy compound movements like benching, I start at a weight I acn handle for about 4-5 reps then work my way up each week until I can get 8 reps at that weight. Once I can do 8, I add about 20-30 lbs so I can only do about 4-5 again. I actually did a single a couple of weeks ago just to boost my ego. It is so tempting when you are on juice because you are getting stronger every week. It is probably not a good idea to go below 3-4 reps, but sometimes the temptation is too strong. IP: Logged |

Stay in the 6-8 rep range if you're really that nervous about tearing a tendon. The only way you could tear a tendon or ligament is if they're already weak, or you're on a HEAVY cycle and throwing up your 1 rep max for every set. I think 4-6 is good too. ------------------ IP: Logged |
