Hi Ali,

I recomended the high rep range, idea being it would provide a different stimulation to the heavy 3's and 5's etc. I find I have to keep changing my workouts to grow. What you might not of noticed is I said I usually warm up then first working set pick a weight with a comfortable rep rang of say 15 and force twenty by the third set I ,might only be able to perform 6 - 8. Flat bench is a good example normally once warmed up I can get close to 30 reps with 100K before I hit positive failure, if I keep the weight constant at 100K and go to positive failure each set by the fourth I'll only get 6 - 8 reps. Other times I'll have a longer rest move the weight up and go for more reps. That said I haven't flat benched in a couple of months as I don't rate it as a pec builder...

I'm not saying you must perform hight reps etc if I follow any doctrine its to keep mixing things up...

Sorry to hijack your thread there THS but thought I'd have a go at explaing my thinking.

Off to bed now as I've hammered quads on a low carb day and I don't feel great. I'll update on my log tomorrow as it was a particuarly nasty one and I surprised myself tonight.

Cheers

Pikey
