Peter_Puget Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Courtney – I have tried several times to find the webpage on your site with the 6-1-6-1-6-1 pull ups described. Did it ever exist or am I crazy? PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtenay Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Peter, you might also want to take a look at the 5% solution, it's done wonders for me -- http://www.bodyresults.com/E25solution.asp and also, for those of you wondering whether to push to failure, see our article on Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) for strength training at http://www.bodyresults.com/E2RPE.asp.

What's up with doing five sets of an exercise? From what I've read, the return in strength gains diminishes quickly with greater numbers of sets (the second set gives a return of about 20%, the third 8% --these are from a study at SUNY I think). Is the idea to just increase vascularity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtenay Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Actually, I'm with you, when I do the 5% training I stick to 4 sets myself. This was originally discussed by Charles Poliquin (6-1 wave loading) and I also modify that to do 4 sets (6-1-6-1) so always adapt to your own body's needs and recovery. Another point to make: the heavier the load and fewer reps, the more sets you need to do; if you're doing sets of 12-15, for example (high volume) you may be able to get away with only two sets. If you're doing sets of 3-5, you probably want to do 4 sets. Hope that helps a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
