    Do not read anything that arnold said he did

    Sure it may work but we are past that era and now realise that volume is not the only way to create growth

    Progressive tension overload is = adding more weight

    My prefered method is low volume, super high intensity

    Example of my chest routine

    Benchpress 45(warm up), 90(warm up 20reps), 135 (warm up 6 reps), 180(warm up 4 reps), 200 ( work set, 10 reps, followed by rest pauses, drops, static holds etc...

    Incline benchpress 135(warm up), 200 (work set similar to last work set)

    Job done!

    Just make sure you come next week and beat this weeks weight or reps

    Asuming ur a beginer??? I think more volume with lower intensity can be used as i doubt a beginer could match my intensity in a safe manor if u kno wat i mean

    The point im tryin to make is 10 sets is enough for chest, i use 2 or 3 working sets and im sore for days

    As a beginer i wouod reccomend 5-8 working sets close to failure

    not tryin to knock you cause you do whatever works best for you, but why bother with the 45 lb and 90 lb warm-up set ?? if you're pushing 200 for 10 reps then i'm assuming your max is somewhere in the 275 range ? why not just throw a plate on and bust some reps out for your warm-up and get rolling....
