10-6-4-1 then stop on bench, and .1 is not 100% is it. and it will be awful hard to get your true 1 rep max after 20 reps. make sure you are getting a full recovery period before your last max effort set. if you do it this way you still have 15 sets for a chest exercise, this is just a basic % workout it worked for me when I was younger. don't think the program is too bad, try it and see what happens.

Its a Monday Friday routine with delts and tris....Friday is lighter.....wonder why they have so much more volume.....
-

0.1 is 10%.
So, are you doing this chest workout as well as tries and delts? That would seem like too much volume.
If this is just your straight up chest routine, give er tits for a few weeks and see how it goes.

its 100%.....followed by light delts...skip tris

Cool. Id say try it out for a couple weeks, bro. Good call on skipping the tris, also. Don't wanna overdo it, as overtraining will hold you back.
I am always switching my routine around every few weeks just for variety. Keep the body guessing and what not.
I may give just the chest workout a whirl the next couple weeks, to be honest. Looks like it would be pretty intense.

Naahhhhh, I don't like it personally. I think all that fancy mumbo jumbo crap is way too over-thought and way over-rated. You really have to know your numbers for this to be effective. What is to guarantee that you will be able to use the percentage of weights that follow the formula?

Let me tell you, give it a shot before you bash it....granted it took a loooong ass time...prob. 40mins on the flat alone, but then it moved pretty fast....it's intense, I may cut out the last few sets as I was shot about half way thorugh....I am going to attempt to incorporate the same slated schedule for deads today, seems appropriate......

I hope you have some chemical help, because if not that is just flat out too many sets, for someone with "normal" recovery. 26 sets alone on Bench Press, what is the rationale? why the drop sets down and then back up, I think you have enough overload in 10-6-4-1. I am sure it is one bitch of a program but to me without AAS this would be overreaching.

I'll bash it without trying it.. bunch of worthless sets, not ideal for building muscle.

Im not flaming you, however, I have read many of your "workout" posts and bro I think your Avy is a direct reflection of your overtraining. What I mean is that, imo, your body looks "old" and "tired." It does not look healthy. I am doing half the volume you do and I workout EOD. Results: 35lbs in eight months. Im not a guru or an expert, but just giving you my opinion. Good luck and I hope you meet your goals.

I don't believe anyone disagrees that pushing heavy weights will result in muscle mass.
Also, I did not realize that your had extra sets listed in this workout. I thought it was just 9 total for bench (very low reps) followed by a couple more exercises (3 sets each). This is blatant overtraining, bro.
I have been away from the boards for a while, but have read some of your posts. You seem like you need to stick to a routine (diet, weights, etc.) for a prolonged period of time. Johnny too small is correct. You do not look healthy IMO. I doubt anyone will disagree with this: you will look remarkably better if you put on some serious weight. At this point it looks like you are drawn...Christrian Bale from the Machinist style.
Stick to a simple workout routine, diet, and put on some weight- fat and muscle. It appears you are tredding on a serious disorder that could potentially be very dangerous to your health.
This is just my advice, which I am sure you have heard before...
Best of luck to you.

Columbus, you couldn't handle a true HIT routine.. nothing to be ashamed of loll
As for your marathon training, stick with it and see how far it gets you.

Marathon? Hardly....it's a good routine....its all deads....nothing beats em.
Id much rather spend 45 minutes on a heavy compound movement, then doing a bunch of fu fu type lifts....just my .02

I did Deads yesterday, 3sets total.
1 warmup (185x15)
1 moderately heavy (315x15)
1 workset (500x8)
Not sure why more sets would be necessary, not to mention if I would've included more sets my max set would've been less weight which in turn would've recruited less muscle fibers hindering my growth.

Again, best of luck to you.

BTW, I lost two inches off my waist (34-32). The fat from my waist and the fat I put on must have gone to my dick? You tell me:

Useful Info!!!!
What is your goal? Mass or strength?? The workout scheme that you have presented seems to be more for strength...the rep scheme for strength is mainly between 3-5 reps and some 6-8...but you need to give urself about 3 minutes or so to recharge your ATP stores in order to hit your maximal weights and recruit the right fibers. 98% of your ATP is restored in 7 minutes, hence the reason for such long rests for powerlfiters. Now as far as size goes...well, 1. You need to activate your muscles enough to cause actin/myosin protein quality changes and cause a rise in androgen receptor content in the muscle (your receptor content changes as you work the muscle) and you need to elevate your GH levels. 2. you need the pump to increase blood flow to your muscles and give more interaction time between floating hormones and the new androgen receptors. The best rep scheme and intensity for size would be 8-12 reps and about 75-85% 1RM. So by doing 8-12 reps you can cause the pump (anything over 45% 1 RM cuts off venous blood return from the muslces) and increase lactic acid levels which will in turn increase you GH levels. Now the information that I have listed is based on studies of non AAS people..however, the concepts still hold true with long rest periods to recharge ATP, androgen receptor increases and the benefit of the pump. Heavy weights will give you some size, but this is not the most beneficial way to add size.
