Burn outs after every workout??

[pbmark]

My friend is talking about cycling on Test Prop and is wondering if burning out each muscle (biceps, chest, back etc etc) after hes done with his regiment of that muscle every day is a good idea? or will it not be as effective?

you mean regimen.

but it depends on what you mean by "burnouts". If youre talking 12-20 reps of a certain exercise - sure, varying the rep range can be beneficial. If you mean using practically insignificant weight, blinding fast negatives, and sloppy form for super high reps - eh, probably not beneficial for most.

Im talking like negatives where you have a 45, 35, 2x10's, 2x5's and 2x2 1/2's and you do 10, take a plate off, 10 take a plate off etc etc

EDIT: on bench of course

I do this after chest workouts with bench.. called ladder bench.. i begin with benching the bar 10 times, the I put a 45 on each side and do that 10x, then add a 35 to that and do that 10x, and last I add a 25 on and do that 10x, and after that I remove the 25 and bench the 45 and 35 10x, then just the 45 10x, then the bar 50 times.. then your dead.

do you do that after every time on bench though?

that is my bench workout.. I do it every Monday when I do chest and thats the last thing I do on my workout.

What do you think of Bench/Tri's/Biceps/Back one day and then next day Shoulders/Legs/abs and just switching those off and on with a rest on the 7th day? And if I did that, what about the ladder bench, still effective?

just do 2 workouts per day.. lift on mon, tues, thurs, fri.. and do cardio on off days

Bro, look into training to failure and rest/pause sets. Yes it's beneficial but it also depends on your goals.

In my opinion - Overtraining. Usually for hypertrophy two days a week on each muscle is enough. As for the burnouts - it adds to the volume of your training - if your rep range is correct to begin with for hypertrophy (I'm assuming your trying to add muscle??) than a burn out at the end of each muscle group is fine and may help increase your endurance. But listen to Suareezay - there is no point in a burnout if you can't maintain your form.
