Yo Philipo

Thats is quite a solid system. For a full body hit system that is very intense. How often do you do it?

My workout partner has suggested to me that the best way of doing the hit is only twice a month, what are your views on this guys?

Could people please explain their reason for using multiple sets per exercise.

Hi mate

Multiple stes are designed to push the muscle groups to the region where you cause enough damage when you hit your highest weight. This is designed to ensure that your body will grow. Using it once will mean that you pump blood into the muscles, and that is all. You need to exert as much pressure as possible.

Hello,

I think that single set or multiple sets work. At the end of the day you need to stimulate the muscle, whether you do it with 1 set or 5 sets is an individual choice. I would not recomend taking all sets to failure if using multiple sets though.

Cheers Morgan!

steve i dont think i`m qualified to give you advice,but have thought about changing tuesday calves to monday when you do you squats etc-so your calves are already exhausted.i can see your reasons for putting them first -due to my calves i`ve been thinking about this for a while-your calves get very little knock on effect from other exercises where for example your shoulders do and i think grow quite easily so i`m hoping -`cos this is what i`ve started doing myself is that by doing calves after 20 rep squats it will be better than doing squats first exercise and calves last(thinking they would be stronger from the rest).i`m sure you`ve tried most formats to get your bad boys to grow and i have only been applying the theory for a couple of weeks and i`ll say again i dont` think i`m qualified to give you advice,but another idea to consider?
