What % of 1rm are you supposed to use for the power, rep range, and shock reps?

There is no set %. Because of our varied fiber type make up we can not simply go by %s. You need to know your strength levels a bit, and if you don't, you must learn them. The goal is to pick a weight that will have you fail in the required rep range. Every once in a while you may come up short or vice versa, but then you must readjust the weight for the next set(s). It may take a few workouts, but soon you will learn what weights to pick.

That is definitely true... ie. yesterday I was supposed to be doing lying leg curls 16-20 reps... I could not push out more than 14 on the first set, I had to drop the weight for the second to fall into the designated rep range. ALSO while doing abductors I found I did not fail in the specified rep range, I could do more. I know for next time to start at a higher weight. I keep a journal to document things like this... that helps. :)

i was skeptikal of the chest workout at first, but i was new to the program so i wanted to give it some time before i made judgement. the main problem was because i was grabbing the wrong weights the first time around. i kept track from the start of weight and reps and the next week when i repeated the exact same workout i got a much better pump. all the sets were right on
:thumb:

still new to it all, but so far so good. its been a good change from my previous routine.

I love my groupies!
 
I don't know how these gains compare to the rest of you guys, but after two months of P/RR/S, my right bicep is 3/4th of an inch bigger and my left, 1/2 of an inch. Yeah, I'm a righty. I'm really liking this program, gopro. They've been stuck at 13" for a long time now. Thanks. :thumb:

You are welcome. I am truly glad for your success!
 
This program is three weeks at a time (P/RR/S), and then you just switch up the order for the next 3 weeks (S/P/RR)?
 
The program is 3 cycles Jaim91. You do P/RR/S all the way through 3 times (total of 9 weeks) then a week off. How long have you been lifting for though?

Like rock said, you do it in 3 week cycles...

1-P
2-RR
3-S
4-P
5-RR
6-S
7-P
8-RR
9-S

*Then I recommend one full week off of training or just a very light week.
*Also, the above is for people that are more advanced...I have beginners and some intermediates use modified versions of my program.

what i do on the 10th wk, light cardio, light wts, and get focused on the next 9 wks.

Ahhh - so you just repeat the cycle...understood..why is that not for beginners?
 
Your body has to acclimate to a program like this. It would be to hard on your CNS I think, especially shock week.
 
Is this thread ever not going to be on page 1 of the training forum, lol?

very true rock!!!!
 
So you always take the tenth week off (or go very light) and then repeat the R/RR/S sequence? Is it possible to switch it up for the next 9 and go S/P/RR? Or, it that no good?

You can change it up and experiment if you wish. When I am "personally" training someone I often tweak the sequence according to our goals at the time and how well they seem to be responding to the weekly protocols. For example, if we are training more for strength for a period of time, I often find it useful to change the sequence to something like P/P/RR/S or perhaps P/RR/P/S. Some people have alot of trouble recovering from shock week, either locally (muscle groups) or systemically (CNS), and thus may only be able to stand a shock week once every 5-6 weeks (P/RR/P/RR/S).

The main priciple of the program is not allowing your body to adapt to one form of training and also to affect the gamut of muscle fibers and hormonal/metabolic effects that occur from different rep ranges, TUTs, rest between sets, etc. Take the BASIS of the program and try to be your own trainer and tweak it to fit your own needs, strengths, and limitations.
 
OK...I understand. THANK YOU SO MUCH for explaining it, I really appreciate this. And when I'm 18 and allowed to compete, I will totally dedicate my 1st place standing to you!

Excellent! I wish you all the best in your endeavors! I'd love to hear about you getting onstage one day and kicking butt!
 
Lookit that, the thread had slipped to Page Two...

All the cool people have tried it, but now it's my turn.

gopro, if you would, one small question: what if one does not have access to a leg press machine? (It saddens me, since I hear so much of the ass-kicking qualities of the one-legged press. But it is not to be, at least not right now.) What would you suggest as a passable free-weight substitute for those exercises?
 
If you don't have a leg press then substitute with Front Squats.

As my man FS said, front squats are good as are hack squats. However, if you want to do some uni-lateral training, you can replace single leg leg press with lunges or bench step ups.
 
Also holding dumbells in your hands or a barbell on your shoulders with 1 foot behind on a bench and then squat with one leg like that ;) if you follow....
Its hard to balnce wich makes it better :D
