it is to failure, if i dont have a spot, and i dont think ill get back up i wont try another rep.dreww said:i was wondering, on your heavy quad sets, is the last rep total failure? meaning, are you like taking a few seconds catching your breath between the 6 and 7th (last rep) of your squat or deadlift?
just wondering, cause thats what usually happens when Im going all out on heavy lifts like those. or do you just go until your form starts breaking down?
and on the widowmaker sets...are you going to failure at 20 or just going for a pump/burn?

I noticed the order is usually:
Chest
Shoulders
Tris
Back Width
Back Thickness
Is that set in stone, or can that be alternated? Say A1 start with chest, A2 start with Shoulders. Maybe even hit Back in the middle and finish off with Tris?
no matter what the order youll still be using the heaviest poundage possible......progressively of course. the heaviest set of whatever your chest exercise is will hit your shoulders too.then you will do the heaviest possible shoulder exercise, and so on. key is HEAVY, controlled reps. that will build you the most mass possible.PJT said:I understand the splits.
"A" workouts being chest, shoulders, tris, back width and thickness.
"B" workouts being biceps, forearms, calves, hams, quads.
I agree with Teedubgee, the split makes a lot of sense.
I'm just thinking if someone's shoulders are really lagging, and their chest is very well developed (obviously I am referencing myself here), could they be swapped and do shoulders first and chest second, then continue with tris, width, and thickness.
My other thought is Deadlifts being the 5th out of 5 exercises. I would think it would be better to do them at the beginning of the workout and not the end. Maybe I'm missing something.
DB, I know you already answered the question. I don't mean to question your or Dante's knowledge, just playing devil's advocate and trying to understand the reasoning behind the set order.
