super workout |

hi you guys,
this routine is the most effective i have seen. basically it′s the one mike mentzer outlined years ago.
trap bar squatting instead of traditional squats; very controlled higher reps.
april 7, 2010
295 x 17
followed by dips with 45 lbs. x 7
april 3, 2010
trap bar squats
305 x 14 (too heavy reps not sufficient)
chins + 20 lbs. x 5
body weight 180 lbs.
difference in workout is i have slowed down on rep cadence during squat movement which raises intensity quite a bit.
i don′t know how much more i can go in weight so i will just concentrate on perfecting form.

How long are you trap bar squat sets taking to do then?

thats a good question. I don′t know to be honest, but i do not do the super slow gimmik i just try and keep it under my own control.
If I had to guess it′s probably 4 to 6 seconds for a complete rep. The reps are as strict as I can muster while using enough weight to keep from going into cardiac arrest.
I will just stay with these poundages until I master the reps and weight then raise it.

So about 90 seconds . That would be the most i think you could do and still go to failure.
Yeah i dont believe in super slow! If doing super slow, it would be over 5 minutes!!!
I think i might get back on trap bar deadlifts. At the momment i am doing leg press and just changed from incline bench to deline.

i really like the trap bar; it seems to work a lot of the body in one movement without putting the back in a overload situation. good luck
