Do any members have experience with this type of program. I've been doing a variation of the strong-lifts program for a while and it is getting a bit boring. So was considering switching it up.
The way I understand the program it involves doing one or two compound exercises, like Squats, per session. 10 sets. 10 reps each. 90 second rest between sets. At least 2 rest days before exercising the same body part. In addition to these some additional supplementary isolating exercises are done on a 3x5 basis each session as well.
I work out at home (no spotter or cage), so can't risk going completely to failure. Failed on a bench press a while back. Luckily not seriously injured, but it was definitely no fun.
What do people think the benefits of doing this kind of volume are after a more conventional 5x5 regime?
