i would wait like 4-8 weeks befor repeating the ME exercise...
You can use the big 3 as ME Exercises, but working up to a max on those will get stale very quickly.
I personally used to use the big 3 as my ME exericses, and it worked good for me. I just made sure that every week i did a different rep schemehttp://www.fortified-iron.com/

like,what do you mean by a different rep scheme?I thought that with a ME exercise your just working up to a 1rm,not really a rep scheme.Originally posted by Deciever

well, what im saying is, that if you are going to be using the squat bench and deadlift as your ME Exercises, since you arent changing them, you cant ALWAYS workup to a max single. After a while it would get stale.,..
I've had been using bench squat and dead as my ME movements for about 2 months, and each ME Workout, i'd change the reps.. i.e.
week 1 on squat - max single
week 2 ons quat - max set of 5
week 3 on squat - max triple
week 4 on squat - max double
and occasionally i'll throw in 3x3 as my reps, ...etchttp://www.fortified-iron.com/

good answer deciever,can i lso add you can chang the way you do the same exercise by adding bands or chains.so when you get to GM's again do them with a **** load of chain for a new PR or add bands,or whatever.....when i go through like floor press i do them with chain the next time i get to them..........

Re: How long to wait before doing the same ME exercise again?
