@bronsontaur That’s awesome that it works for you. I really tried making them work for 1.5 years because aesthetically they’re badass. For me they grew my glutes and back a ton. If I lighten the loads and did higher reps, I could see them working the quads well. But, I used it as a primary squat...

@dawn16 Got it. That makes sense. You get the benefit of tracking progress easier, since it’s one set, but you still get the volume through the clusters. Can’t believe I never thought of doing cluster sets after the top set… Might give this a whirl after progress gets stale on my current sets...

@dawn16 I mean there’s a drop off in reps. If I hit 9, then next set would be 8 and the final set is 6. I think the “don’t go to failure or you’ll explode” is overblown. Going to that level of failure where your body breaks down isn’t as easy as people on the internet make it seem. It’s more...

@dawn16 But I do. Every week. For years. And progressing.

@dawn16 I like that a lot. I’ve setup full body similar to that. 2 hard days. 2 days of lighter exercises and isolations. Thanks for sharing.

@dawn16 Wow. You’re spamming compounds 5-6 days a week? How long have you been doing this? How has progress been? Do vary the exercises day to day? If you have a hard squat session on Monday, what do you do teusday? Lol. Sorry for spamming. Genuinely curious on this topic especially if you have...

@dawn16 What’s your setup for the high frequency routine?

@motman10 I’d follow the program as is because it covers all your bases. You’ll have the rest of your life to refine your physique. First build something to refine and focus on getting good at the movements, progressing, eating and sleeping.

@dawn16 Interesting. I guess I don’t see how a set and rep scheme or managing volume and intensity can be unconventional? It seems like what most guys intuitively did in the past, we now have terms for. I could be wrong in this.

@becknps I went down this rabbit hole a few years back, thinking it was the secret to gainz. Did zercher squats till I could hit 300lbs. Got very minimal quad growth. Switched to SSB squats and belt squats and am loving the leg gains. Did rack pulls; got big traps, but lackluster flutes and...
