Driving up the intensity on the workouts. I already push myself on weight, but now I'm kicking the reps up and dropping the weights to about 75% 1RM.
Doing sets of 10-12 doesn't even start truly fatiguing my muscles until about working set #3 and I'm exhausted before my muscles are most times lol. Sets of 20 or even widowmakers of 50 should fatigue to the same degree after only 2 sets which will shorten my workouts significantly.
Let the experiment begin! 💪

What's your goal with this experiment? Or, better question, what is your hypothesis?

I guess "experiment" should be "execution". I'm just sick of the rep ranges I've been given to for the past year or so. I used to periodize hypertrophy and strength in 2-3 month blocks for a long time. As I do full-body 4 days a week, some reserve needs to be left in the tank or I couldn't even wake up in the morning lol.

I'm just combining a few of my former hella intense workouts from the past to shake things up. DoggCrapp focuses on compounds and pushed hard on a heavy weight followed by back to back drop sets. One exercise, less than a minute, muscle group = toast. It also does a lot of incredibly deep stretching post-workout.

Coupling that with some massive repped sets (think 95# squats.... 75 reps) as burnouts. I had my best progress (weight increases and aesthetically) when I used to do these workouts. Not lifting 5 reps before the burn starts and then 10 more under tension - then repeat for 4 sets. These keep the amount of sets WAY down with even more muscle fatigue per exercise!

It's a mental toughness game as well as pushing myself to my absolute max for 12 more weeks to shake things up a bit 🤘

Simple A, B, A, B routine working opposing muscle groups every other day. Each muscle group gets blasted twice a week with 3 days of to allow for CNS recovery between.

Nah. The first 40 are good with minimal pause. After that I'm catching my motivation for blocks of 5 lol. The breaks are as long as I need, but no re-racking until all reps are complete. Maybe a little crossfitty 😜

What was that German thingy years ago? Do 50 reps of each exercise lol. Well, it'll break down muscle for sure. The other ingredients are the feedings and the unconsciousness. In theory, any workout that challenges is all it should take off you eat and sleep well.

So those 9 hour planks should get abs to show at 42% bf.

Okay, caveat: any workout except all-calisthenics
