even for your high volume sets? darkie u train high volume with high intensity? or do u pick weights that allow u to do max 10-12 reps for ur high volume sets?

What do you mean high intensity? High volume (8-15 reps) for hypertrophy. Resting time 2-3 mins usually.

i thought volume = reps, intensity = poundage. they are inversely proportional, the higher the poundage the lower the volume. or is volume defined by total of set x reps in a single exercise?

anyways, my main question is u pick weights that allow u to do max 10-12 reps for ur high volume sets? nothing lighter or heavier than that, no?

John, i thought resting time between sets is at 45sec-1min if 8-12 reps, whereas it is 2-3 min for a lower rep range ie 6 reps and below, no? little confused here haha..

Bodybuilding is not set in stone. If you want to say like this, it's like asking people to have sex in one position only.

ahhah what an analogy darkie.. yeah i know.. but im sure there are reasons to why more rest between sets are required.. the way i see it is 4-6 reps use really heavy weights and when done with 1 set u really need that kinda rest before starting the next.. im guessing its also the same for 8-15 range?

Everyone is different. Some require more rest and some don't. You can't force an erection on a guy immediately after sex unless he's ready.

true that.

darkie your analogies could be pretty marketable lol.
