I'm gonna let the cat out of the bag a bit and let you know what I have been experimenting with on myself and a few very advanced clients for the past year. Some slight tweaks on the program that has improved results by a large margin. Do NOT step to this level unless you have been on "regular" P/RR/S for at least 3 full cycles. This is very intense!
1. The cycles...I have gone from a 3 week to a 4 week with advanced lifters. It looks like this:
a. P/P/RR/S
b. P/RR/RR/S
c. P/RR/S/S
d. rest week
2. Power week has been tweaked slightly to crush the highest threshold muscle fibers. Example:
Chest-
-bench press...6 x max single (2 minute rest between sets attempting to keep same weight each time).
-incline press...3 x 3 (3 min rest between sets)
-flat flye...3 x 5 (3 minute rest)
3. Rep ranges on RR week have been expanded to hit more fibers as well as to cause different metabolic and hormonal adaptions. Example:
Legs-
-leg press...4 x 7-10
-hack squats...3 x 11-15
-leg extension...3 x 16-20
4. With shock week I have began to expand the techniques used to well, SHOCK, the muscles into more growth. I will not go into specifics here as there is too much to cover. One change that I encourage all to make is to use one pre-exhaust superset and one post-activation superset (compound before isolation)...this has been proving to be quite valuable.
Well, thats all for now. Hope you enjoyed the preview. Now sit back and enjoy the movie!!
