Hi guys I have decided to to try a new workout. I found the following
workout by John Casler I like the look of it but thought Id see if any
one can shed some light on it for me.

Mon= Chest and back {including torso and low back}
Tues= Rest
Wed= Legs and Torso/Abs
thurs= Rest
Friday= Arms and shoulders.
Sat= Rest
Sun= Rest
"Repeat. This shedule allows for brutal workouts, with one week rest
{but as you can see not total rest} between body parts"

I would skip low back and I am not sure what he would suggest for
Torso?
Also I am not sure how many exercises he would recommend per body part?

I am not sure if by the following he means 3 sets for every exercise
or to alternate between them so one week you do 20 reps the next 10 etc?

" I would put these 3 rep ranges in each session as RMs"
1. First set is 20 rm
2. Second set is 10 rm
3. Third set is 5-6 rm

"This can be adjusted for the exercise or body area, and produces a
very effective Direct compensation in both strength and hypertrophy."

I am looking forward to trying this after my current lack of progress.
So thanks for any opinions.
Jeremy

Jeremy, For your abdominal area he suggests the Casler crunch. (I'm not the right person to describe it, since I can't really do the exercise correctly.) One...
