Im begining to think the best way to not stall out is to keep things varied. Odds are likely I wont do 100 reps. But I do switch from the 12-15 rep range too the 3-6 rep range around every two weeks to keep the ol CNS guessing.

i recently switched from 8-12 reps to 4-6 reps to failure, with the according rise in weight lifted, and find that i cannot work out as often. i used to be able to go hard for 2 days in a row before taking the 3rd day off. now, i need a day off inbetween my workouts cause the burn is so much more intense, i got shitty workouts when i tried to work through it.

any suggestions as to why this is and what i can do about it. i know the higher the weight/lower reps the better the burn, but i didnt think it would make this much of a difference. i love training with the added intensity, but i dont like only working out every other day.

Training with reps that high will build endurance, but not much muscle. Varying rep ranges is a very important factor in making continuous gains, but I dont see any use in doing 100 rep sets if hypertrophy is your goal.

But when you disarm them, you at once offend them by showing that you distrust them, either for cowardice or for want of loyalty, and either of these opinions breeds hatred against you.
