reverse training
Any of you guys ever tried it and had results? Im going to give a shot when i start bulking in a month was just wondering what you guys thought. Basically instead of doing 3 sets 10 reps, you do 10 sets with 3 reps. Routine going to be 4 days a week and 3 exercises per day. All fo the exercises are compound movements.

Too much like powerlifting in my opinion.
Probably would be great for an increase in strength but I personally wouldn`t do it unless gaining power was my priority.My Website:

well, you don't know what his goals are??
Just eat for size or eat for defenition. it is all in your diet. train how you train. ALso, if you have been training another way for a long time this will be a welcome change.Optimum Sports Performance

reps that low does crap for me for either strength or hypertrophy
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

if you have been out with an injury the last thing you want to do is low reps with maximum working loads.

6-8 is low reps. 3 reps is extremely low reps, might as well be doing singles.

the idea behind it is that you recruit more muscle if you can go heavier and still go the same amount of total reps. 10 x 3 instead of 3 x 10. on the second week you increase the reps to 4 and third week to 5, then you try to up your weight and start over...

doesn't make sense to train like that if you are going on a bulk with the obvious goal of increasing LBM. IMO you can't effectively focus on the MTM connection training with maximum working loads.

I agree with LAM 100%...........especially with your tendon issues !!
6-12 reps will build muscle as long as your eating appropriately for your goals.My Website:
