you gain muscle from both i said, i just feel its easier to gain muscle for legs with higher reps. but thats just my opinion.

that may be your opinion but thats not my experience. =0l

i dont see where you said both work. 4x6 is not low volume.

how much weight you moving on that 10x10?

I can't wait to retire next year, probably in Raleigh or Wilmington.
I am debating trying the workout, but haven't heard anyone that has tried it. Its hard to get into the gym 5 days a week, especially when its still 95 degrees at 3am when I go to workout.

you dont have to hit the gym 5 days a week or do that workout 3 times a week. They have another version in the book that is abbreviated.

you could do a twice a week workout with one day upperbody then the other day the 1 set of 20 rep squats then a set of stiff leg deads- I have done that and have had great success - addin 2 pounds a week to squatts!!!

so you could do- tuesday= pullup, dips, military press

Then on Friday you could do the legs and add small poundages every week to every excercise!

That works great for alot of people with less than better recovery abilities!!!

I'm shooting more towards Wilmington because I want to be a beach bum and gym rat!!! But the job market in Raleigh is the best in the state.
I have a powerlifting workout that I got from Ricky Dale Crain, and I saw huge gains from it, but i don't have a workout partner/spotter, so i'm not able to go as heavy especially on bench presses.

im 19 175 pounds 5 6 i do 135 for that. it may not be much but it adds up with the minimal rest. and for me i consider 4-6 reps pretty low volume. i kno i only stated the 6 reps but i do a branched off version of the max ot jeff willet program. heavy weight activates more motor units than light weight that i know for sure, low volume is great for all mass building, but i dont have a spotter so low volume is a bit dangerous for me on leg days.

 

[rookie03]

pullin big im pretty sure your like a power lifter since your so interested in what kinda weight im pushin on the squat routine, what do you work with on snatch clean. just curious that is a big favorite of mine.

Punished the shit out of me! I loved it but be prepared to overcome some pain!

You can do 300 sets with 135 and you are still gonna have chicken legs. get a squat rack and quit making excuses.

BTW, I'd bet PB can ONE hand snatch more than you can with two. He is a 300 lb wall of a man that is a national caliber powerlifter.

man why does everybody think im talkin shit on here, i was curious about how much he could snatch since hes a powerlifter.

 

[iron addict]

He benches 600 and squats 800. My guess is he doesn't snatch, but I am sure if he wanted to a shitload of iron would move. WTF does that have to do with using 135 for 10 sets of 10. Again, you can use 135 for 200 sets of ten and aint a thing gonna happen.

When I was younger and dumber I did stupid shit like 10 x 10, I was using 250 x 10 x 10 and I had little legs. When I did 400 x 20 they were finally big.

it has nothing to do with me squating, when i squat i squat to the floor and im not gonna risk injuring myself to do low volume, yea their is a squat rack at my gym but it doesnt feel so great to clapse when doing squats. its easy to injure yourself. if i had a spotter i wouldnt mind doin 4x4-6 on squats and 3x4-6 rdl's. you guys seem a bit hostile bout how much weight you can move around. im 19 ive been in love with bbing since i was 9. i may not have your experience but i know that squeezing the muscle and having perfect form is a million times more important than heavy lifting, now on low volume squats i cant do them with perfect form cause i dont have a spotter.

If your form is bad with heavy weights, how do you come to the conclusion that your form is good with light weights? Also, why is it so important to have a spotter when doing low volume squats? Its not like you gonna be squatting 400-500 lbs...

 

[rookie03]

ok so your tellin me that low volume is only 400 or 500 pounds, low volume could be 65 pounds for someone and that could injure them if they collapse on squats.

Y dont u ans my 1st q bro

I miss squats frequently. The bars goes to the safety bars and I get out from under it. Whats the issue?

Hostile, no but when some 19 year old squatting 135 comes here and makes a statement that heavy weights are not needed and lots of sets and reps are better for growth, all I see is someone talking about what they know nothing of.

10x10 Bulgarian Volume Training, that is going back to Muscle Media2000 almost ten years ago, lol.

 

[rookie03]

well i just dont feel safe squattin heavy without a spotter so my form lacks if im by myself. and my form is flawless on almost all my lifts. i get a good 4 second negative on squats and then explode up. and i said that he should try 10x10 cause he was only doin 1x20 reps. and i never made the statement "10x10 is the best way to work the legs and the only way to gain muscle" i just said he should give it a shot it works good for me. i kno that works for one doesnt work for the other and that their is people who are predominantly white celled or red celled people.

pullin big im pretty sure your like a power lifter since your so interested in what kinda weight im pushin on the squat routine, what do you work with on snatch clean. just curious that is a big favorite of mine.

your right i am a competetive powerlifter. we squat, bench and dead. olympic lifters do clean&jerk and snatch. i also make my living training folks and i would never have them do either of the movements you listed. there are better safer movements to hit the same areas.

the reason i asked about what kinda weight you moving is i wanna know who im talking to. nothing wrong with squatting 135, thats where i started.

however 10x10 sucks for adding mass compared to heavy squats. heavy meaning what ever is heavy for you at a given rep range. if you dont want to squat heavy then dont, but dont make excuses as to why you dont. you dont squat heavy cause you dont want to, just that simple. i train by myself quite often and it never stopped me from going heavy on any lift.

and finally the guy asked for experinced older lifters to reply. you are neither of these.

you got book knowledge which isnt always panning out in the gym. lifting weights is as simple as it gets. you can read all you want but it dont make a difference. simple compound movements done on a consistant basis is what works. all this white cell, red cell, fast twitch, slow twitch dont mean jack when you back out of the squat rack with a load on your back. its man against steel, period. as primal as it gets.

clean&jerk and snatch.

Is the snatch simply the act of picking the weight up off the floor?

And doesn't the jerk always a part of a clean?

Just trying to understand the terminology.

Thanks pullinbig, i guess i will stick to what i'm using, or go to a bench, squat, and deadlift day with a couple of additional exercises for each day.
