What exactly encompasses a depletion workout?
I've been reading over these forums a bit and still have some confusion over how to do this. Can someone give me a rundown of how a depletion workout should be done? I'm still a week away from when I should supposedly have one.

as far as I know, lots of "fast" reps, full body, many sets.
say you might to 20 reps lower, 15 reps upper, with about 3-6 sets per bodypart, reps should be fast compared to normal, but not stupidly fast.
other people will be able to explain it better than I have

YOu'll want to work quite quickly (as in rest between sets) don't rush your reps you don't wana an injury. Stick to the compounds and you'll feel when your depleted since you'll feel like you can't do anymore.

High reps for definition/toning is a myth. The only thing it's good for is endurance. This has been reiiterated on this board many time. Read around on the board and you will see.Originally posted by stabmaster

in this case the high reps is for depletion, not for building muscle

my reference would be just about anything on avantlabs.com, or more notably Lyle McDonald's UD2.0. He cites references for the specific glycogen depletion methods.
