Misc questions regarding 10s

Hello all,

I'm beginning 10s next week and wanted to have clear goals in mind for this segment.

Should I go for a rep speed that will keep me a couple reps short of failure when I reach 10 reps for the first set?

On the second set, do whatever speed is necessary (while maintaining form) to get 5-10 reps?

Burn is not a goal with the 10s, right?

Apply the above to calves exercises or should I keep the reps higher on these?

Any other tips appreciated.

Thanks,
Randy

Yep.

Yep, just make sure the momentum does not take over.

Burn is not a goal, but you may want some lactid acid in order to stimulate the MAPK erk½ pathway more effectively. The lactic acid may contribute secondary to the overall hypertrophy.

Calves is a mucle... no speciel treatment. You may want to use more weight, and making the increments a bit bigger. I worked very well for me :)
