Sorry folks. I do have a confession to make. But I did it on purpose, to see if any of you out there have actually tried what I suggested.
I called the game 50 right? And I also said that I range between 70%-85% for my working weights right? If any of you have tried to pull this off at 85% of 1RM, and have made it, with the rest format that I have suggested, you are a far stronger human being than I have ever known.
I was purposely waiting for someone to email me and say that I'm nuts. At 85%ish of 1RM, I don't think you will ever get close to that 12-16 rep range for that first set, if you have truly found your 1RM.
Hint: If you want to work heavier like I do, take your 85% of 1RM, and play 25. Your first set will probably be in that 6-10 range. Believe me, this will crush you. But going to 50, won't probably happen. If you want to lighten up a bit, stay in that 70%ish range, and play 50. Your first set will probably be in that 12-16 range.
Sorry for deceiving you, but there was a scientific method to my madness. Try it, you'll see.
Let me know some results. Come on, you bench press guys out there, I'm curious.
Until next time.
