I don't know how you do 3x12. That's a mental killer for me.

they are i hate 12rep sets i would rather do a 20rep squat then 3x12.I have been thinking about doing 3x10 on all the exercises apart from calve raise or even a rep goal i like 3x10 tho.what do you think about doing 3x10 then add weight instead of this variable 8-12 rep scheme ?

That works. I don't think at this point it will matter much as long as you are gunning it consistently about 5 reps.

ok i will give it a go i feel i could add weight to the bar faster this way.

Lee, I do "Rep Goal" with half my workout (The non-power lifts) and I really like it. I was doing 3x6 up to 3x8, but, like yiou mentioned, I am adding weight faster with the rep goal.

i am right there with you moe on the REP GOAL i have used it before a few times and i have always been able to add weight to the bar alot faster with it so i think will use it on this routine instead of a set rep scheme.

Hope it works out for you guys.

Great work Lee! Just be careful adding weight too fast on this program as the cumulative work for the week will rapidly become too much in my experience with it!

thanks KD5NFW,i will be careful adding weight it is just i feel 12rep set feel more like a endurance event at times and i would much perfer to be adding a bit of weight now to bar instead of trying to get all sets of 12,if dosent work i might have to look for something else.
