I cycle it but I never do more than three sets. I usually only do one giant 100 rep set per body part.

I voted for moderate volume, but it varies depending on a lot of factors. Because I am doing a strength training routine, the volume for certain body parts most important to the core lifts (Triceps, posterior chain, and core most notably) are worked with fairly high volume. However, other body parts are trained with lower volume or not at all.
Also, if I am using a very high level of intensity, then the volume is reduced. Currently, I am a huge fan of the cumulative fatigue method. I will be sticking with it for a while. |

I usually cycle it, but most of the time I use moderate volume for chest and legs, and moderately high volume for back.

I pick an exercise. Say calf raise. I load up with about 50% of what I would normaly do and proceed to do as many as I can. Once I reach failure, i rest 10 seconds. Then I go again. I keep this up till I reach 100, never resting more than 10 seconds. Sound goofy? Sound like it wont work? This little ditty put an inch on my calves last cycle when nothing else worked. Im now experimenting with this on all body parts. For some reason, some body parts respond better to this training than others. My traps respond very well to it. So does my chest. But biceps dont. I have no idea why, but Im always learning. I also wasnt very accurate on my first post. On some body parts I also do 12 sets of 3 reps, with 30-45 seconds rest in between. Those seem to work very, very well on my back and they seem to be working on my biceps too. We will see. Now let me say that I am NOT suggesting that anyone else follow suit. Im NOT saying this works for everybody. Simply saying this has worked for me. Nothing more, nothing less. I am NOT a bodybuilder, I lift for an entirely different purpose than just muscles and size. |

I was thinking more along the lines that you did one hundred straight, and that to me seemed a little ridiculous. I sort of like that, its interesting.
