p/rr/s

[JimDugba]

I've read the sticky and tried doing a search but came up with nothing but journals. I know that its cyclic and is supposed to inhibit adaptation but what is the concept behind p/rr/s? From looking at the sticky the Power week and Rep Range week look similar. Confused.

You need to re-read the sticky. Power week has lower reps with greater rest periods, whereas Rep Range has higher reps (up to 15) with shorter rest periods.

The whole point of P/RR/S is to stimulate different muscle fibers in different ways by modifying the reps, weight, and rest periods.

exactly

the second phase has more reps per exercise..... i think in every one too

first phase - heavy weights
second phase - medium weights
third phase - lighter weight supersets and dropsets... gets a big burn goin

so choices of exercises on the power week and rep range week dont have much to do with the concept of p/rr/s?

What do you mean????!! Your not going to be doing Heavy Flyes for 4-6 reps to start off your chest day.

its all rep range, rest intervals, % of 1 RM, etc. and less to do with the excercises that you perform.

I have been using this program for 6 months, and continue to make gains EVERY week. I have never had a program work so successfully over a long period of time. Normally would have to change at 3-4 months. But as long as gains being made, I'm staying with it.
