Oh ok, so more it didn't work as well since you couldn't do it right with all the other stuff, but this method, since you 'can' do, works better. Makes sense.

oh wow I thought you had made really good progress with HST planned loading and such before?

ah ok, yes back is the funnest to me too

yes but pulldowns and curls for 2 days and press on one, that's why i was curious

18 inch calves? sheesh! OK yes, no need to work then! thanks, very cool routine, curious, press 1x a week back 2x? Is that just to specialize on back over pressing?

OK, not sure what you posted in May, I'll have to try to find that then. calf work doesn't do anything for you then?

Ah ok There are a few versions of rest pause, back in the 90's I used to do just non failure rest pause, I'd do a set to almost failure rest for 10 seconds, rest pause, rest for 10 seconds. Turns out it was very similar to myo-reps, but I know some others use to use like 20 seconds for rest pause.

Wow when I did myo , I did them for every freaken exercise. Squats, bench, rows, all of them. So many do regular rest pause with compounds, can't see why myo reps would be different? I agree on non failure. Failure does nothing good, but sure hampers recovery.

Ditto above, fun exercise but too much OUCH, impingement galore

cool post, love this part I've been sticking with HST/myo-reps for quite a while now. Funny thing is, I'm not back to my former strength levels that I was at back when I was deadlifting 600+ but I'm bigger than I've ever been so I guess there's something to his hypertrophy specific thing after...

Hey cool, comments are good, ... I remember getting those... a looooooooong time ago! Progress is progress good deal!

OH ok , so it might end up 1-2 workouts of each level. thanks. forgot to ask, how does your progress (both size and strength) seem to be this way over the 3x way?

Trying to catch up here, workouts look great man! hey so you do 2 workouts rather than 2 weeks (6 workouts) at each level ? (15, 10,5)?

Kewl, ok, that only took me 97 posts to get on track with you lol

I think your saying 'nope you didn't mean one can't gain with 2x per week' in agreement? but that average people just maintain with low weekly volume, right? If so, I agree

I thought you were implying 2x per week 'only' worked for maintaining. It depends on the program, and such. I can make gains on 1x per week per muscle, lots can. Or you can train non progressively and 'easier' and maintain only on 1,2 or even 3 per week.

Wouldn't though, we also add 'non progressive' workouts? Many make great gains with 2 full body per week, not just maintain

Using very low volume/frequency just to prevent atrophy?

Or equal, or sometimes better results too, depending on the person and program ;)
