Hittin arm,chest,shoulders,legs, and back to failure for 3 sets each has increased strength and added muscle for me the last 6 weeks. I have doubled in bench and added 12 to 15 lbs. This isnt somin I do all the time but I maybe changing it all here soon. If it works why change it...Is this a good idea if I want to keep balanced from top to bottom?

Not bad. The hellraiser plan, and kris gethins plans are like that. I did both with moderate success.
Change is always good.
If you haven't ever worked out, or haven't for an extended time, your gains for the first 4-6 weeks are mostly neuromuscular. Gains are usually faster during that time.

I never do the same sets exercises nor i do the same rep range.Ill do HIIT or ill do hi volume low intensity every other workout.
Yah I believe that I was at 190 or so a year and half ago and been at it for 8 weeks and gains are slowing down at 182 or so after takin off for bout a hour. What u mean neuromuscular?Like muscle memory?

"4-6 weeks are mostly "STRENGTH" gains"
-your body learns how to recruit more motor untis.
And you wont notice much muscle gain until weeks 8-12, gains are not very noticeable until that time

knowone cares...
Yep, holding onto it is the tricky part.
Well I guess I can say I did enjoy the fast gains while they lasted cuz they have came to a halt . Now hovering around 180 to 185. I have got my upper body bout where I like it but legs are lacking due to concentrating on my upper body. Also I have a home gym with pulley system witch has leg press, quad extentions, and I got and regular benchin barbell with and couple 45lb plates and other. Im running out of ideas to hit up the legs. And damm squats hurt my bottom neck bone...lol !!
plus I bout to come off of my 6 week h-drol cycle. the tricky part I agree is keepin it. I got bout 5 days left and got Advanced PCT by Anabolic Xtreme (90 caps) on the way in the mail on the way. I hopin that will allow me to keep all my weight and muscle gains? Any body tried this pct. Its hyped up online like most supps are. I was thinkin it will do me justice due to h-drol being a mild ph......
I have heard people rave about going to failure every set, Yates workout blood and guts advocates it.
When I did a to failure every set workout for 4 months I felt drained and weak and really didn't like it. Just my opinion. It didn't do much for me gain wise either. But it has worked well for many.
I think my body prefers non-failure for growth and aesthetics. Every body is different and goals are different too. I work for a "beach body" not a mass monster like most on here. I also have never used aas or pro hormone so probably not representative of this forum and that kind of training could be great for a gear user. I wouldn't know.
So I guess I'm saying try it out and see if it works for you.

I Totally agree... I have personally never really pushed to failure and I have grown in the last 3 years more than anybody i know...
In fact my dad was friends with an IFBB Pro; i think his name was Jimmy Lee or something, and he said that he never trained to failure, he would stop 2 or 3 reps short and just up the weight each set... he said this prevented injury.

I go to failer on everything.Thats when you know you have done your job and then all you need to do is eat proper.
You know that simply not getting the weight up again is not a true failure right?
Do you do that all in one day. If so what the fuck do you do the next day? You do know that you dont grow from working out, you grow from recovery.

Thats why y0ou dont do the same exercises day and day out.You body will get used to it and you will stop growing.

You grow from eating! also sleep is very important on growing; you have to get enough sleep. then lastly comes the training. this is only a certian percentage of what it takes to grow and have the gains that you want.

usually the last set of every exercise, if not the last 2 exercises, i go until failure. sometimes followed by a few half reps or rest pause since i don't workout with a partner.
I am just started, so should I just do every body part too?
Does it matter if I workout 4 or 5 days a week and rest on weekends?
I just want to make the most out of the first 6 weeks like you say and then Cut after weight gain has slowed down.

Well if you don't train all your body parts the same then you will have parts that will lag behind.
