So I’ve stumbled on one of life’s great mysteries... hopefully somewhere here is ocd and has an advanced calculus degree.
I got the “5 more reps” from Tom Platz and have successfully used it to extend my sets. Basically 5 reps is mentally achievable so you lie to yourself and say 5 more reps. Then when those are done, you lie again and tell yourself 5 more reps.... until you’re dead.
Well lately I’ve watched Jay Cutlers training style and he does everything in sets of 12.
so now... what do I do? How am I supposed to live like this? When you get to 10 reps, do you say “5 more reps” and power through it or do you say “2 more” so you end on an even 12?
I went to do another set and I’m to mentally confused to even start. What’s the lowest number evenly divisible by 5 and 12? Does this mean I have to do 120 reps on each set?

- 1 guy has the best quads ever.
- The other guy has 4 titles and bad ass quads too. Does that mean 12 is a more anabolic number then 5?
