    size workout

    ive started training with an ex bodybuilder, this guys energy has rubbed off on me he loves it and hes infectous love training with the guy. Im a rugby player and he does 10 10 8 8 on everything increasing his weight obviously everytime.

    Will this increase size an strength though? I mean i beleve him because hes won competitions and hes got biggest arms an legs ive ever seen and there in great shape.

    eg bench press 70kg two sets of 10, 120kg set of 8. Last set of 8 130 - 140kg pushing each other with a spot.

    What you guys think? I do my own power excercises at rugby training so thats covered. What you think of this excercise i trust what he says and what hes got me doing because hes been doing it for years and hes in great shape.

    What you guys think?

    I like the look of this lol, i do something simlar. 10 reps 100kg, 10 reps 110kg, 8 reps 120kg, 8 reps 130kg and if im feeling good il do 6 reps 140kg. But this kind of program has worked well for me...

    Try it and if it works for you, Fantastic. I am more of a 8-12 reps guy. it works for me. I have a buddy who trains heavy and does 15-20 reps per exercise. He is big as an OX. I worked out with him one day and his workout almost killed me. I just kept burning out. Too much reps for me. I guess I am lazy, LOL.

    Everyone's different. I do two balls to the wall working sets (HIT style) for every exercise including forced reps, negatives, etc and that's more than enough for me. Some people confuse volume with intensity. You can either have one or the either.

    Personally, I haven't seen anyone train with HIT and NOT make great progress. Intensity beats volume anyday, in my books.
