Ok, I just started reading this and so far have gotten through the first page. To the guy with 59K some odd posts. Why dont you post more in this section? This is the first time I have seen you. I got to go with Cape so far on the first page. I do feel like during PCT, a person should bust it a bit harder. The ONLY reason I say do it harder, is that mentally, I think if you work hard for the 4 weeks of PCT, you can ease up a bit after and still be doing alot and not realizing it. Idontbelieve in 30 second rests between sets either. There is no way enough weight is being used if you can do a full set and rest for 30 seconds and go right back to it. I am not saying it isnt beneficial to do, I am just saying it is no way to build a solid base(IMO) and shape the body. For me, my sweet spot is 3-4 sets, depending on what I am working. Dumbell shoulder press for instance, I have to do light weight or 2 sets because I dont have much cartilage in my right shoulder. Legs, 4 sets on everything. I try and stick with 4 sets, and if I am exhausted or not "feeling" it, I might only do 3. But heavy weights, maybe light for burning out or warming up. From my reading on the first page, it seems to me that the OP is just lazy. But then again, this is what I have taken from reading the first page and I am not ruling anything out. I am not calling you lazy, just my observation as of right now.
