100 reps.

Another question, What were your workout days and rest days? It seems like it would take forever for the muscles to recover let alone your CNS.

^expect to puke at least once

your glycogen levels must be insanly high. Good job though very inspiring, and now i have to try it. how much weight do you use on each exercise?

Yep, on my high carbs days I go as much as 800 grams of carbs coming from oatmeal, brown or wild rice and lots of yams and around 60 grams from some kind of juice as simple carbs with my protein powder as a post workout shake.
My weights been super light. You can't lift heavy even if you wanted to. I mean I am talking about 15-25lbs dumbbells and squating with one plate on each side light. :nerdnew:
But this week is the begining of a new routine and slightly different type of diet. I will post more about it tomorrow.

I've been meaning to post some updates but I got waaay to busy with work and training, but here it is.
I know this is gonna sound crazy but recently I changed my workout rutine(thanks to my new workout partner) for the last six week everything I do is 100 reps. Weights are not heavy but it kicks my ass and I've been putting on size and getting leaner at the same time. I'll post some pics soon.
Here is a few examples for you guys. We've been doing push, push and pull,pull-which I haven't done in ages so it's kinda of a good change.
Day one
Chest-triceps and some shoulders: 100 reps Bosu ball push ups(try not to pinch your shoulder blades focus on streching from your sternum)
100 reps single arm flys on the pec deck machine(each arm does 100)
100 reps dumbbell front raises
100 reps incline dumbbell press
100 reps triceps press downs
100 reps bench press
100 reps upright rows
100 reps triceps dumbell kicbacks(again each arm does 100)
300 reps situps
100 reps lying down on an incline bench leg raises.
Day two
Back and Biceps:
100 reps pull ups
100 reps seated dumbell biceps curls
100 reps lat pull downs
100 reps one arm dumbell rows(each arm does 100)
100 reps standing barbell curls
100 reps close grip pulldowns
100 reps single arm cable rows.
400 reps situps
Day Three:
Legs
100 reps lying leg curls with an exercise ball
100 reps single leg extensions
100 reps leg press
100 reps calves
100 reps seated leg curls
100 reps squats
100 reps lying down single legged leg curls
100 reps sissy squats
100 reps standing leg curls
100 reps adductor
100 reps abductor
400 reps situps
Again, I know this sound crazy but guys give it a shot. This is nothing like you have experienced before. Oh try to keep the rest between the sets to minumum, basically just move from one exercise to another. You gonna love it...I guarantee it. :nerdnew:

So how do you do the pullups? I can do 20 straight thats about it on the first set, it would take me like 6 or 7 sets to do pullups. If you can do 100 pullups straight without letting go of the bar than your pretty tough.

[Quinc]

holy sh*t! so i tried this and i only made it to 50 and it was everything i had to even get to 50! amazing how with even 100lbs less then your used to once you get to your normal 12 reps it starts getting hard. great workout going to start doing this everyother week for a while.

I am sorry I didn't answer this sooner, first thanks for thinking that I didn't let go the bar but I did a few times. basically after so many reps your pullups become scapula pulls, the way it works is keep your arms straight, shoulders square arch your back and squeeze your shoulder blades together almost like shrugs but don't let your shoulders roll and come up to your ears. and make sure to use straps.

Did shoulders a couple days ago doing a total of 900 reps. i got to the point where i wasn't using anyweight and still haveing to take 5-10 second breaks before i could get to 50.. this is the first time my shoulders have ever had doms. did back yesterday.. holy shit deadlifting for 50 reps is a painfull experiance..

Hey bro, after doing this how is your recovery time? do you stay sour for a couple of days or more?

[Quinc]

recovery time is good. i used to do a similar workout to this going to 30 reps and doing the full body. shoulders where only thing that was really sore for a few days. everything else felt fine after 2 days. i did a heavy normal leg day today and deffiantly felt stronger and had a faster recovery between sets.

What kind of weights are you using with this???

AND....

Are you doing 100 reps straight and then moving on to the next exercise or is it like the other thread you have (20-30 reps each on a circuit with enough sets to reach 100 reps)?

[wnabeabeast]

What kind of weights are you using with this???

Hardly any everything is super light. 50-60lbs extensions,50-60lbs leg curls 135lbs squats. just light weights once you get to your 60th rep you'll see what I mean.

[Narkissos]

So what did you get from this? It certainly isn't a mass building routine by any means.

That'd depend on your definition of a 'mass routine'.

It's one of a number of shock techniques.

How effective it is depends on an individual's adaptive response.

6 weeks is a generic length.

Some would not last 4 weeks on such before bodyweight started to fal drastically.

I wouldn't suggest it for just anybody. i.e. I wouldn't suggest it for anyone who's not attuned to his individual physiology.
