Anyone done it, been reading about it am getting different variations of the program. Some are recommending super sets. Criticism of the program is that there's little result after 6 reps. Anyone tried the program. can you give me a plan for the program. Goal to build some muscle and lose fat, overall recomposition.
From what I have read its a 5 day program on repeat for 6 weeks, that would be 8/9 cycles.

I did 1 in the past. I think it's best for when you have plateaued temporarily on gains n need a breakthrough. Mine was based on a 10 rep scheme I believe. MAKE SURE TO ALTER YOUR DIET. You will def need to eat more. I think it's best for ppl who lean bulk. Just find a program online

I still need someone to explain to me how doing a bunch of non failure sets of 10 is better than doing every one of those sets with a weight that would cause failure around 10 reps.

Just find one that appeals to you the most and hits your weaknesses. I did it for a while and only did 10x10 dumbbell press, 10x10 weighted pull-ups, and 10x10 squats and saw good gains. Good for adding mass but not as good for filling out any specific areas that are lacking. You’ll definitely come out on the other side with a stronger/bigger foundation though. It will probably get old after a while, but then again every routine will get old after a while.Originally Posted by training12 +positive crew+

I’m assuming they’d argue that the shorter rest between sets makes up for the lower weight since you’re constantly blasting fatigued muscles. When I ran it I went with heavier weights and didn’t stick to the 1 minute rest between sets rule and I’m not sure how different it would’ve been if I had. I’ve always tended to lean more towards the more rest between sets is worth it if it leads to more weight lifted, but I’ve never seen a good breakdown on the comparisons between the two different approaches.Originally Posted by coachcalande +positive crew+
