But i was thinking the same thing, i'm not sure if the upper body could handle it. I do know that is shot my clean trought the roof though....i'll give it a shot..

Of course you have to cut down the amount of weight u use in order to complete the 10 sets. But by the time you finish the work you're pretty much toast. I got some fantastic pumps with that method. Give it a try u might like it. If nothing else it is something different and that may be enough to spur new growth.

I like doing it for calves and stuburn body parts that lag behind. Its alot of fun, and so are 5x5s -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn
