Jeremy,

Yes, I think you'd do the same rep scheme for legs and abs. As regards your
point that ab work interspersed with sets of squats may compromise your squat
form, I confess that I don't know. I did not rotate sets for abs and quads and
as I've said, I was never able to really do Casler crunches.

I hope John himself can answer that one. Jeremy, I will send you pictures of
the Casler crunch so you can understand it better.

Hi so would you do the same with legs and abs 20r
squat - 20r crunch
10 squat- 10 crunch then same with 5 to 6reps.
I ask as isnt it dodgy working the abs before squats
making your
squat form less solid thus a greter chance of
injury?
Cheers Jeremy

Asunto: Re: [HIT Digest] new workout

You do 3 sets for back and 3 sets for
chest on Monday, for example, and you try and
rotate
them, doing one for back, one for chest and so
forth.
Reps are 20-10-6, or 20-15-10, or 30-20-15,
whichever.
So if you do pulldowns for back and bench for
chest
on Monday, you do your 20-rep set of pulldowns,
then
rest until your heart rate goes back to normal,
then
do your 20-rep set of benches, then your 10-rep
set of
pulldowns...

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
