Reply With QuoteI do one heavy set of 8 reps and 1 20 repper with a weight I can only get 10-12 with. This is for my quads only.
When I talk about a 20 repper with a weight i can only get 10-12 with is I get 10-12 reps and then I may have to take 3 or 4 deep breaths and get another 1 or 2 until i get 20 reps in. This for me is to help me build a larger quad

20 Reps good for shocking chest?
Is doing anything over 12 - 15 reps good for shocking a body part for increased strength? If it is how long do you "shock" it for? One workout or 8 full weaks? Thanks.

high reps are great for endurance but not for strength. I always cycle in some weeks of high rep training, it's a nice break for the CNS vs lifting heavy all the time
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.

You can do the Shock week from P/RR/S. It's a superset (compound/isolation) followed by another superset (isolation/compound) and ending with a dropset.
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

The strongest my bench ever was when I was doing 1 heavy workout a week of 8 reps....4 sets flat 4 sets incline, 2 sets flys......and 1 workout light 1 or 2 sets of 20-30 reps on bench only.
I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!
