steve reeves use to train 1/2 his bodyweight for 15 minutes on leg presses. if he weighted 250 he put on 125, but did the leg press non stop for15 minutes. he was a smart man that knew what he was doing. lots of different ways to train. nothing is in stone.
i was just sitting outside recovering from a workout reading an old magazine and in there arnold said he never trained to failure.. then in another article, arnold says at certain times of the year he would train to failure.
nothing in stone.
