I try never to reference any of the few "worthwhile" articles/methods from Waterbury without pointing out a few things.
1) He is original only in his presentation of the concepts , and much of what distinguishes "his" take from old school , time tested utilizations of the concepts is IMHO worthless "fluff".
2) Most if not all of his "methods" have insane levels of volume yet are presented as suitable for all levels.
3) his preoccupation with timed rests , smacks of conditioning training , my own experiences have lead me to believe that learning to gauge your own immediate recovery based on heartrate , breathing and for lack of more scientific sounding words "feel" is about as complicated as this variable ever needs to get. For noobs who may not have developed "internal" feel for things like immediate recovery and/or how many reps from failure they are (approximately) , this would have some value but his rest windows are always exact instead of open to personal judgement. Eg. he will state 90 second rest as opposed to 1-3 minute rest , a fat chain smoking noob will need the whole three in order to finish the workout - if he attempts to do it cookie cutter he will fail and the last thing noobs need is to begin with a pattern of failure IMHO.
4) His writing style is very "gehylike" and reminds me of my wifes tabloids .
5) as Max-stim Dan has said , he really ought to "stick" to a general field of concepts ie. low rep/high set + high %age training instead of being all over the map yet master of none.
6) I personally find his "science" suspect in a lot of cases , but as a layman (non-scientist) I leave the "exposing" for guys like his dear friend Shaf over on Lyles board and Power and Bulk cuz he/they do it OH SO WELL...
As for the topic at hand LOL hit it on the head , 10x3 would make for a booster that would actually accomplish something - you won't find me wasting time using the method in this article - some old school PLer ( Doug Hepburn or one of that era) used 26%-32% 1RM of his deadlift with great sucess BUT was doing it 3-4 times a week for somewhere around 20 reps each time using a speed/power developement type of thinking ,and I suspect that this is just a thinly veiled "bastardized" version of concepts of that ilk.
Worst of all he seems to discover new ways of putting things together suspiciously close to right after they've been discussed here (other than 10x3) , or on some of the other boards I lurk at (and I suspect he does too).
While the t-nationites are lifting infant weights 100 times , I'll sit and wait for him to "discover" 3x3
