Today I tried the Vince Gironda's 8x8 routine for my back/biceps.
The exercises I choice are as follows:
Pull Downs Mid
Rows using close grip
T-Bar Rows
Drag Curls
Incline DB Curls
What I liked:
- The pump
- Lighter weight = better form and really contracted the muscle
- The burn
What I did not like:
- Lighter weight = boring and left me feeling unfulfilled
- Using 40 % of my 8 rep max felt boring.
- To easy and very overrated or outdated
Not sure if I would do this on my next workout. I feel this workout may of slowed down my progress and I left the gym feeling the workout was not enough. On a few exercises I had to stop shy of 8 reps on the last set. The tradition 4x12 is more enjoyable.
