"x-reps" ??

[rysigpi]

Anyone read this article? http://bodybuilding.com/fun/xrep4.htm

It was a pretty interesting read. In my mind it is actually one of the more believable pro workouts as he isnt doing a ton of insane sets.

What do you all think. I know that it would keep most peoples egos at the door. I know I would have to drop the weight down a bit!

Anther article about it. From the read it seems they lower the volume and add in x-reps only on one set?

Yeah I dont think it is anything revolutionary...just something nice to throw in for a change.

:toofunny: :toofunny: :toofunny: :toofunny: People are paying money for this book (which is a simple old school tip) to get hyooooge?? :toofunny: :toofunny: :toofunny: 4 books for $30 a piece.....since they all have the "X" as in X-treme, people will buy that **** thinking that they will look ripped like the pics. If you get a microscope and read the fine print at the bottom of the preface, you'll see that they have a disclaimer stating that all models used for advertisment have been using AAS to get the "chisled physiques" :study:

How do you expand a simple training tip into four books?

IS this that Peter Sisco crap?

It's actually from IronMan magazine (Jonathan Lawson).

I use this technique from time to time to switch things up and I really like it. It's also a great option for those times of the year when busy with other things and your workout time is limited to shorter sessions.

And I don't think it's total waste of $30.00. I bought one of the e-books and it has some good stuff in there and some nice routines. I've blown alot more than that on useless supplements over the years.

Hell, I remember buying Cybergenics back in the day! **** I'm old...

 

[wildman536]

Cybergenics....... oh the good old days huh.

Yeah, I'm still waiting for it to 'kick in'.:rofl:
