Maximum muscle growth

[Blaz Kavlic]

I like using a combination of high and low rep sets. I do 4 sets of each exercise. I add weight in sets 1,2 and 3, with set 3 being HEAVY until failure. If you're punching out 10 reps in your last set, you dont have enough weight on. For set 4 i drop the weight back to about 60% of the max, and really concentrate on nailing the fibres in each and every part of the muscle. I do this until failure. I have very short rest breaks between sets and often super set exercises with zero rest.

Lifting heavy is obviously the center point of pushing the muscles to the limits, but never sacrifice form for weight.

Agree with all of this as this is very similar to the way I train, although I like to rest enough between sets to where my muscles aren't 'burning' anymore, this way I can push/pull as heavy as possible each set. This is mostly individual preference, however. A lot of guys just like to get that 'pump'. While I also like the pump, and that's what I strive for mainly on all of my accessory lifts, I am more into lifting more weight than I did the week before, even if it's only 1 more rep.
