ISETFIRE Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Hey everyone! at the moment I'm doing a program looking like this: - just 1 set per exercise - 10 repetitions (last 2 or 3 reps should be really hard to do)- slow movement- focus/concentration on the trained muscle itself and the overall body-tension - (full body) program done every second day (Some time ago I've done a max weight programm with 2 sets each exercise and up to 5 reps) So what do you think of it?

I think that if it works for you then you should go with it. There is a lot of programs out there and there is a reason for that. Some people respond better to low rep high weight, some to high rep low weight, it all depends on how you react to the work load. Currently I am doing 4 sets of 4-6 reps of as high of a weight as I can do and so far that is what my body has been responding to the best.

Hello ISETFIRE, I have done similar workouts that you describe above. Sometimes I use a 10/10 rep count on each rep. I find that these types of workouts have value. Currently, however, I have returned to more traditional sets, reps, etc. Currently I do 6-8 exercises, hit the major body parts, and use a three set, 8-12 rep scheme. I seem to be improving my body composition, whcih makes me happy. Take Care, Over40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
