Tips For This Workout Day
The Right Partner ///
- It's always good to find a partner who will challenge you, not slow you down - find someone who may be more experienced, stronger or more dedicated than you.
Mind Over Matter ///
- During your most difficult sets and reps, make sure to have a mental back-up to help you finish strong. A good mental back-up is unique for every individual - try imagining a loved one will be hurt if you don't finish your last few reps!
Partial Reps ///
- During your partial reps for leg extensions, make sure to only move the weight 4-8 inches, never allowing the weight to touch the bottom of the rack to keep your muscles working.
- The speed of partial reps is irrelevant as long as your reps are controlled.

I'm all about pushing yourself to the limit, but 3 sets of 85 reps, superset with squats seems like an injury waiting to happen, especially for someone who is trying to get into shape.

Considering how light you have to go on these exercises to get 105 reps non-stop, the chances of you hurting yourself are slim... you frankly won't have the weight necessary to do so. This of course assumes your not trying to crank out 105 reps with what you normally use for 10.

Lemme get this correct, In essence with it being a super set were doing 105 reps with the 2 excercises 3xs? A total of 315 reps? Then Leg extensions?

Well actually, I wanted to die. But you know...in that good "productive" way...

I'm losing some serious weight too. I'm down to 162.0 from 173.1. Over 11 pounds in 28 days is pretty crazy considering I'm not a big person. Feels so good. I love how reading posts such as yours give eachother motivation to keep pushing through this program. Plus the results are motivation enough.

Ok I am a little confused as well, in the video he is showing to do only 1 set of each. Is it 3 sets of each? Like you do the 85 reps on the leg press then straight into the 20 squats then rest and do it 2 more times for a total of 315 reps?

That is exactly what I was wondering. I'm pretty sure that we should only do one complete set of 85 reps on the leg press being 20, 20, 20, 25 then jump straight into squats, not repeating the whole sequence again. But.. I would also suggest that depending on how good you feel after the whole superset then maybe another 2 supersets wouldn't be a bad idea to build those muscles.
You do three super sets, so yes, 315 reps.... then 3 sets of leg extensions with partials after the last set.

You do 85 press plus the 20 squats (superset) a total of 3 times. I'm assuming that after your first superset you might need at least a couple minutes rest to catch your breath before continuing to your 2nd and 3rd superset.

I would do the 3 sets. I think he was mistaken. I go by what the charts say. Everyone else here is doing 3 sets.
