This isn't an experiment, it's been around since I was a Boy and before Gooby was a glint in his Father's eye.
aren't we all an experiment with a sample size of 1
You're absolutely correct. There has been similar to what I'll be doing here most definitely. However I haven't seen anything done with 100 reps, a total rep range that works well for me due to the ability to minimising the load / mechanical tension, and maximising on muscle hypertrophy through metabolic stress instead.I saw something very similar to this in a weider magazine 15 years ago, if I remember rightly the guy (cant remember name) gained an inch on his arms at the end of the day but lost most of that within a couple of days, he also mentioned the need to consume a decent amount of protein throughout the day and to stay hydrated.
I look forward to reading about your experience and your results. Good luck.
Hey Tim, it's crazy town alright. No different (in craziness) than when some of us try reaching some elite level in our chosen sport, sacrificing a hell of a lot on the way. So yes I'm with you 100% Sir, as craziness is all I know.Crazy town!
Should be interesting though.
At what weight will the reps be completed at [MENTION=2727]Fadi[/MENTION]; ?
Ever tried the one exercise specialization method? Literally one exercise per session for 6-12 weeks. And when i say one exercise, i mean one exercise...for 6-12 weeks. 2-3 times per week. IE, overpress, push press, squat, deadlift, cleans, or similar. Every session. Every week.
Tim.
Thank you Andy.Make sure to ice your elbows in between
I have not done this type of muscle stimulation before, so it's going to be a new and unique experience for me. As I've said already, I've seen a similar pattern to what I intend to do, done by others, however not exactly following the same pattern. We'll see what happens. I thank you for your post Sir.This isn't an experiment, it's been around since I was a Boy and before Gooby was a glint in his Father's eye.

I wasn't aware of the Piana 8 hour arm workout, but I know (like other respectable members on Ausbb know), that I am not the first one to perform this pattern of lifting. I'd like to say that each pattern is unique onto itself, and the best one is the one that is modified and made suitable for you, the individual lifter. You see, I like higher reps for a reason. Other bodybuilders may think that any rep range above the normal 8-12 is simply there for muscular endurance and an insane pump. I'm one of those lifters who appreciate the muscle pump and all the modern scientific findings supporting its benefits towards muscle hypertrophy.Taking it up a notch from the Piana 8 hour arm workout Fadi.
I look forward to seeing the results
Interesting, I wasn't aware of that either. I'm not really a great follower of Mr. Piana. As for "Feeder workouts", I'm not sure what he means by that. Back in 2009 when I joined Ausbb, I suggested one try doing 50-100 reps for the same muscle trained the day before. However my message back then was not relating to double stimulation of the same muscle fiber, but simply to flush that previously worked muscle with fresh nutrient carrying blood, to help with the recovery process. So again, not sure if Mr. Piana is referring to that same concept of "Feeding" the muscle with new blood, or whether his purpose is something altogether different.@Fadi; Piana also does "Feeder workouts". Those are 100 reps for Arms or Shoulders EVERY night before Bed. He claims to anyway.
