Put Your Training Into High Gear

Us guys just love “advanced” lifting methods.
In the morning, we’re doing drop sets, and for the second part of our two-a-days, we head back to the gym for heavy negatives. Take a day off, then we’re back at it with max effort lifts.
Since working up to a 1 rep-max isn’t enough volume for us, we’re gonna finish off the session with some more drop sets. After all, that pump from earlier in the week felt oh-so-good.
What’s wrong with us? Seriously. Why can’t guys just keep it simple in the weight room?
Don’t get me wrong, including advanced training methods in your program is a smart idea… from time to time. Unfortunately, “from time to time” just isn’t quite as fun. Of course, neither is a fried central nervous system and beat up joints. Obviously, many dudes need to ease up on heavy lifting, and/or forced reps every single week.
However, when it comes to the ladies, it is time for y’all to start to incorporate some of these more advanced methods! Guess how many ladies I know who use at least one of the methods that you’re going to read about below? One, maybe two, total. Most girls I know seem to think that 6-8 reps is “very low” rep training.
