Hi Zach & Marty,
For Marty;
I have Weight Training of and on for years with various training schedules that got no where near my goals. Until I read your article on Mark Challiet. So I decided that I would do no more than 6-sets and 15reps. The first 3-sets are 3-reps each and the 2nd sets of 3 are 1-reps. On my Squats, Deadlifts and T-Bar Rows I increase the weight 5lbs per set and my Bench and Military Presses 2.5 lbs per set. There are no exceptions to this rule an it will not be altered. If I take a two week rest or vacation I will drop down for safety reasons and work back up with hesitation to avoid injuries. All my lifts with exception to the BP, MP and Barbell curl are deadlifts. My Barbell Row for is done in the rack with resting at its lowest point, that my arms are fully extended and I pull the bar up from resting place and back down for each rep. That’s one example. Tricep Pushdowns same, chest pulldowns also, etc.
I will send this to Marty!!
