I guess the assumption is that you can complete the required sets. Failing on the 13th rep of the third set sounds like a good goal.

I tried this workout (minus the supersets) and loved it. No one else on this forum seems to be a fan, however. Chalk that up to a) they have not or unwilling to give it a shot b) stuck in their ways.

I will admit I was skeptical myself about possibly overtraining with that volume of reps and about having to decrease my lifts to 60% 1RM.

After about two weeks I was hooked. I was putting more weight on myself and the bar quicker than I had before. I actually had to slow down on my deadlifts as my lower back was gettting too wide and taking that taper in my torso away.

This workout is a permanent in my routine cycle now. I can't wait for the winter time to get on a true hypercaloric diet and use this program.

I did not answer the question...

I have been told this workout is not to failure or no spot required. You are to use 60% 1RM but your should be able to get out most of the reps on each set with 60% 1RM or else you are not using your true 60% 1RM. When I move my weight up I am only doing so after I have completed every rep of the 10 x 10 on the previous workout.

I know that about the 10 sets I was asking about the 3 sets of 10-12 reps at the end of the workout do you also do 60% one rep max for them or normal weight to failure. Also how much did your muscle mass increase by.
