hugo – is rep speed a factor? Should you change the rep spped each set?
Hi Robert – you can certainly play around with rep speed if you’d like. You can do faster one workout and lower another one. That will keep the body guessing. Best! HR
Higher rep ranges work well for me on calves. Do you prefer a chest/tri, back/bi split or chest/bi, back/tri split or do you like to change it up? Working chest/tri is great but often will mean you can’t go as heavy on triceps.
Hi John. Personally, my favorite is Chest/Back/Abs on one day, legs on another day and shoulders/arms on the 3rd day. You can rest on the 4th day and re-start over. This works really well for me and for many of my students 🙂 I think a push and pull routine like this is easy on the joints and helps you to move more weight since you are activating the antagonistic muscles at the same time. Try it out and let me know what you think. Best! Hugo
