JoeMuscle, hows it going with your chest/back specialization? How does it feel doing 5x10? Any gains yet, any burnout?
HIGH VOLUME/multiple sets

Sci...it feels great!
I have not measured anything...but I need to!
By looking in the mirror It has definatly spurred some growth or "something" in the past two weeks!
I am loving it for the moment...lots and lots of fun.
Two things I like...one is its one hellish PUMP...and I am seeing vains and lines I haven't seen in a long time.
And Two if you do miss a workout due to life or career that is adequate volume to overlap the missed day.
I just got back from the gym and this was my workout today!
Wide grip Hammer chest 3 sets of 10 reps (HEAVY) 11 rep max
Standing Cable Flys 2 sets of 10 to 12 reps ( medium) 15 rep max
Seated Rows 3 sets of 10 reps HEAVY
Bent over Rows 2 sets of 10 to 12 reps medium
2 sets of side cable flys 15 reps on first set 10 reps on the 2nd set (more weight)
Leg press
135 warmup
275 TABATA style for 2 minutes.
That was it....( i normally do direct arm work for 2 sets...but I was tired today)
I would love to see what this routine would do with a CALORIE SURPLUS??? ....HMM........
Great Recomendation so far Sci.....thanks for the advice!!!

Cool, I will probably try a routine like that someday. For now I am all about strength gains. I think if I get my strength up really high first, then a high-volume hypertrophy routine (like yours) would be more effective since I could use much heavier loads than I can now.

Negative...my legs are small.
I did it on leg press machine much easier than squats

Yeah the regular squats are very hard...Im drained...but I highly recommend them for anyone wanting fat loss.
