Thread: Nebraska workout

Do you have a link to the program that you could post so that other could read about it?

I've never been to Nebraska. But I'd imagine you could raise your bench comparably from Florida too.

Sorry. (what is the Nebraksa program?)

Do you mean 35 lbs on your max?

Yes, what is it?

well there it is, btw i usually don't do day 7 i just re max

does this mean that you do chest 7 days a week??

no no no

i usually do 1 "workout day" every 4-5 days so its not really a "week"

So it is basically a reverse pyramid approach.
How many sets do you do for chest after you bench press (which is 6 sets by itself)?

I looks alot like the Max ot program I tried years ago. It worked good for getting my one rep max up for strength but didn't do a whole lot for body building IMO.
Probably Ideal for football though.

as to how many sets i do after: some times i do fly's, some times i do pushups to failure, some times incline, some times decline. i guess it all depends on the day.

Sounds like a good workout. Sometimes I do a reverse pyramid to mix it up.

Keep at it!
