3 or 4 sets on a wrk out ?!

Your abs are a muscle just like any other. Again, you dont see your abs from working out but from diet.

Take a look at the bottom of this thread for a sample of a chest workout i might do. I don't believe in volume but do believe in intensity.

i've read your workout for chest and i have a quick question

for example my stats are 150lb 5'6
if im doing bb flat bench press for chest that week and my max is around 225lb
what would u recommend for the max intensity workout instead of volume..

for example what i usually do is bench

175lb- 10 reps
185lb- 8 reps
195- 6 reps - if i can get it, and if i only get lets say 4
i rest a few secs and finish the next 2

i know your recommending intensity over volume but how would i do it in terms of the weight i lift

If this was my first movement i might do two warm ups like you have. Or you could try 165lbs 10 for warm up then go right to working set. You are just trying to warm up and throw some blood into the muscle before your max set. I don't know your body structure but if you could get away with only one warm up that would be better. The heavy the load later on down the road the more warm up need. If you starting hitting likw 250-300 i would def say 2 warm ups.

during ur max set how heavy do you do? like literally your max or somewhere close to it ?

cause if thats the case i could only do 225lb like once or twice , is that enough?

I would go for a total of 6-8 clean reps. I wouldn't move up in weight until i got 8. Some movements ill do straight sets where others ill do rest pauses.

alright i understand, sounds good to me.. when you decide to move up do you move up small for I.E 5lbs on each side or like even smaller like 2.5 on each side.. i heard so many different things, like even moving up as tiny as 2.5 on each side its still good because you're moving up and not stayin idle

it sucks when you plateau, recently i realized on BB flat bench i was plateauing so i decided to switch to DB, and i DB's are pretty sweet, but after 3 weeks of DB im switching back to BB to see if i made a breakthrough
