Is This Benefecial..or a Waste of Time..

what i usually do is .........

6-8 rep range
4min apart
4 sets per excercise

i read an article saying that for increased strength you take a weight you could perform 2 reps with. keep the rest period at 1 min.

if i alternate this with my noraml routine (i.e. push day, rest period= 4min 6-9 reps......next push day rest period=1min , reps 1-2), will this be of any help at all or just a waste of time

I wouldn't do 1-2 reps.

Maybe something like this

week 1
3-6 reps 4-5 min's rest

week 2
6-10 reps 2-3 min's rest

Week 3
8-12 reps 45 sec rest

Then repeat

For optimal increases in strength you are going to want to lift at your 5RM or heavier on occasion. You should be able to lift heavy and perform more hypertrophy-oriented training in the same microcycle if you organize your program properly.
