5 & Dime routine success?
I was just wondering if anyone else here has tried the "5 & Dime" routine before?
My friend and I have just started this and it seems like a great way to shock the system and change things up from the normal routine.
For those of you who have never heard of it, this is what it is:
8 weeks / cycles of your routine.
odd weeks - 3 exercises per muscle group
5 sets of 5 reps @ maximum weight
you are supposed to only be able to do 4 reps by set 3, if you exceed this you need to up the weight.
even weeks - 2 exercises per muscle group
10 sets of 10 reps @ light - medium weight
this is for your fast twitch muscles and you are supposed to bang them out fairly quickly (but never sacrifice form) and fail by about set 7.
seems to me like a good system shock. so far i like the routine very much.
just thought i'd get some feedback and see if anyone has tried this out before...
