Youve probably all seen me rave about this style of training ad nauseum, but Im gonna bring it up again.
Ive been in the gym basically since I could walk and have done a little of everything. I have always done drop sets and forced reps and other such "past failure" stuff but it was always in conjunction with a bunch of volume stuff. Always way too much volume in fact. But when I started believing in the program enough to do it 100 percent, I started making gains in areas where I had stagnated for years.
During my first blast I returned to volume AND HIT training for the first 6-8 weeks thinking that I couldnt overtrain so more is better. Well I was wrong!
Once I returned to a yates style, my gains came back and increased exponentially. (You can see the evidence in my logs).
So, why am I the only guy in the gym, and on the board for that matter, who is doing this stuff? I think it comes down to a few things:
People dont believe it will work. Too few sets. (I did back traps and rear delts today in 7 sets)
People cant summon the intensity
(It requires you leave absolutely nothing in the tank on those sets)
People think they will get hurt. Definitely a somewhat increased risk of injury here. But I think that can be mitigated with perfect form
People dont have a training partner. This is helpful but not necessary.
So, what is it? Why is blood and guts dying in the gyms? Anybody here tried it for 3 months or more?
I cant hardly talk anybody in my gym to train with me this way, which is fine. But I watch them doing the same stuff day in and day out and going nowhere.
What say ye?
