Learn how to train - High Intesnity Training

[aSami]

Mates excuse my ignorance as I have a stream of naïve questions here:
What I understand is each vid from the above represents a training day, so this means that the reps displayed are THE OVERALL REPS FOR ALL TRAINING WEEK? just these reps? 4 days a week and 3 days rest?
I'm kinda surprised as for ex. I used to do 16 reps for chest twice a week (4 flat, 4 incline, 4 decline and 4 fly on the chest day twice a week)

NOW all I have to do is ~8 reps for chest a week?!

2 warm up sets and one working set is all whats needed, some do 2 working sets but once you have worked the muscle to failure and beyond by using max weight+forced+negs etc there is nothing more whats needed. All tjose ests and reps are being wasted incorporate them into one/two working sets and your done


chest and biceps

Is this really true?
I'm always skeptical when I hear this sort of stuff...
Have you personally tried both methods and noticed no differences in gains?

yes its the way forward if your in a hole, one/two working sets and if done correctly what else would you want to do............

I just did the chest and bi one now... ugh, I dunno I don't feel like I got as good a pump/workout as I normally do when training 3 heavy sets instead with proper rest in between each...

Maybe I gave up to quick on the working set as I am not used to it?

Does anyone else have any experience with this workout method that could share there opinion?

Thats because you didnt train right. Your suppose to go to total failure on your working set, thats means no matter what you cant do another rep and your down to doing half and quarter reps. You dont no how to go to train to failure, once you learn this you can then try and train beyonbd failure by using the forced and negs because when doing forced and negs you do the exact thing you go to total failure... Check my thread out in the lounge if you want to fully understand how to train to failure and beyond

I understand what your saying...

Though the workout does say train 6-8 reps on the working set so I mean that's what I'm doing and getting to failure... are you saying I should do 6-8 then squeeze out the extra 1/2 sets and 1/4 sets or whats ever it takes to squeeze out extra reps on top?
Wouldn't that set my rep range to high and just burn out the muscle?

I'll give the link you posted a read. Thanks for that.
