I've done lots of Google-Fu searching and searching on this log and I can't find the answer to the following question: - In the repetition day in the WS4SB program, does working to three sets of max reps with 60 seconds rest in between mean I lift until I fail for three sets? I also have a question for the guys who've done the WS4SB program before: - What exercises did you rotate for the max effort days? I'm just trying to get a feel for what other people have done. I was thinking about going from regular bench press to incline bench press and from deadlift to box squat.
I did WS4SB. For ME Upper I did Bench, 1 Board Press, Incline Bench and Close Grip Bench. For ME Lower I did PL Squats, Close Stance ATG Squats, Deadlifts and Deadlifts off Plates. Looking back, Squat and Deadlift and Bench and Incline would have been enough probably. For the RE day, I don't understand your question. I picked a weight and did three sets with high reps the last set being to failure.
You can do it a couple of ways. Read this: http://www.elitefts.com/documents/repetition_work.htm I think most people do the second version, two sets of 12-15 reps with the last being taken to all out failure. I'd pick three of each. Two bench variations and an overhead press, and then deadlifts/rack pulls and front and back squats.
Thanks for responses, guys. That's exactly what I was looking for. I'm going to have to start reading Elite Fitness more often...
