Burn out sets

[Triggernought]

Not sure if that the right name.

This is awesome, any others do it,:

After warm up

Go to about 40-50% yr one rep max;
Do 20 reps;
Add 10kg, halve reps;
Add 10 kg 5 reps, should be near 1 rep max;
Drop 5kg, 10 reps, drop 5 kg, 15 reps;
Drop 5 kg, 20 reps;
Drop 5kg go until you fail.

Hope I got the numbers right but you get the idea. Not sure if any science in this but faaaaark I experienced a massive pump for the first time. I didn't even know what the word really meant.

SRS, do this, thank me later.

Go up decreasing reps then down increasing reps until failure 0 rests.

What's the goal for this

[Triggernought]

Haven't got that far, just like the feeling. Will get proper goal in a few months. Tried goals but I just change them whenever I learn something new.

I know this worked for me.

[Rabbitjb]

I'm confused. If there's no goal in mind what's the point of a fixed and fairly pedantic method of training to failure, isn't it catabolic?

A "pump" is not indicative of an effective training session. You would be better served training on an established program composed of compound multijoint exercises around 80-90% of your 1RM. For a natural trainee, the focus should be progression. I will occasionally use set extenders or pyramids but that's rare. You want to warm up without fatiguing yourself and give everything you got to your work sets. That should be plenty to facilitate growth. Then recover and do it again.

@rabb, You guys all wanna know this, that, how, why.

I don't have a clue I just wanna leave the gym feeling obliterated , whatever gets me there is good.

I have to Google what catabolic is.

@plat, I like the feeling dude, the look is an after effect.

[Rabbitjb]

Lol

Just don't do it too often, you may regret it when you injure yourself from lack of knowledge of why you're doing something and how often you should be doing it

Catabolic = break down muscle tissue

[Triggernought]

I would have thought less risk of injury using the smaller weights. SRS by the time I failed I was using small weights.

[Plateauplower]

@plat, I like the feeling dude, the look is an after effect.

Well there ya go, if you like doing it more likely to continue, as long as your not concerned with making effective progress it should work great. I see a lot of people doing things that I hope they enjoy because otherwise it's just pretty much pointless in terms of creating a training response.

[Triggernought]

I will get with a program at some point. I started by just walking in and moving the biggest weights I could, hurt like hell and I never felt great.

This way I don't need a spotter and I walk away feeling like a beast, only good ol soreness next day, no joint pain.

No thanks; I'm good.

[Jtbny]

This.

I guess it's great for a pump and all but despite what you've heard, for a natty, the pump isn't the cure. Besides it looks like a good way to 1)injure myself and 2)put effort into lifting light weight in a fatigued state instead of lifting heavy things rested.

I'm good but good luck!

[Triggernought]

Good thing we are all individuals here.

[CommitmentRulz]

OP, I just hope that you stay out of the way and don't bother or hinder those at the gym who are actually trying to accomplish something besides "just wanna leave the gym feeling obliterated."

[Triggernought]

Tbh its a quiet gym in the weights section where I hang. I pretty much rule it. The mass of folks are into cardio stuff with an instructor/ group class scenario.

We coexist really well.

[PiperBill]

...........The mass of folks are into cardio stuff with an instructor/ group class scenario..

Well at least they have a purpose.

[drkelly74]

A burn out set to me is something I do immediately after my last heavy working set. Drop the weight down 30-50% and do as many reps as possible. I might get 5 reps or might be 10.

[pastorgbc]

I was going to plug in my two cents, but you lost me at "I rule it".

[Cudacke]

what you are doing is eventually is high intensity cardio with weights.

You should try crossfit, it seems to make people who want to feel obliterated very happy.
