  The All or None Principal

 The All or None Principal


The 'All or None Principal' about a muscle fiber firing 100% or 0% is an accepted fact in the BBing world. If this is true then by doing ONE all out set will activate all the muscle fibers you will likely hit in that workout for that bodypart. I understand that different exercises/angles can trigger different fibers, but i really dont see any benefit of doing the same exercise more than once after you have completely exhausted the muscle. I am an advocate of this...

CHEST

BB flat bench (heavy) 1 x 4-6
BB incline bench (medium) 1 x 6-10
DB decline (light) 1 x 10-12

I will switch the exercise every week (heavy decline, medium flat...). This way I his every angle in every rep range. Keep it simple and dont mistake hard work for SMART work. What do you think?

1 month. A couple PBs already. The mental aspect of only doing 2-3 sets/week for 1 bodypart forces me to kill it (forced my PBs). I also stretch after the last set of each bodypart. I love it, but gotta change something after a while...
