"Backward training" method
Came across this the other day and it sounded kind of interesting. What do you guys think?
Backward training cliff notes:
"Choose a weight that lets you perform no more than six perfect reps, but do only three, lifting as fast as you can. The key is not to go to failure--the point at which you can't complete one more repetition--so that you don't become fatigued before you've completed all the sets. Rest for 1-2 minutes and then do another set of three reps. Repeat the process until you've done 10 total sets.
Each week, add one more rep to each exercise in each workout, so that by the third week, you're performing 10 sets of five reps for every exercise (that's 50 total reps, which means you'll have run the whole gamut for optimal muscle growth). Three weeks into the program, retest your six-rep max--it'll be a lot heavier--and then repeat the program for another three weeks."
