1x100 ??

[cbloom]

So I was reading up on the superhero program and looking over the program designed by Thibaudeau and noticed this :

D. Lateral raise
1 x 100 reps (take pauses if needed)

D. Rear delt machine
1 x 100 reps


For the most part the routine looks pretty regular (though high volume) but there are a few of these 1x100 sets. That goes against everything I've read about weight training; what gives?


The full program is here :

(look for a red HERE like 1/3 of the way through)

go back in the archives and find CT's first HST-100 article, it explains the concept...Waterbury has a similar idea in his Hypertrophy Booster Shots Article...i've never tried either so i can't say anything about effectiveness...

As they say, "Routine is the enemy".

Its a great way to vary your training and give your body something unexpected to deal with. I would imagine it would be best served in areas where you have really plateaued using more traditional shocking methods.

Ah, thanks, there's a good paragraph in there on the point of the 100's.
