Each set you put a heavy amount of weight not counting reps go until failure, then when exhausted cut the weight in 1/2 and continue util failure. This is really the old Cybergenics 60 day program concept. Any thoughts?
Mon- Legs, Traps, abs
Tues- Chest, Back, abs
Wed- Shoulders, Triceps, Biceps,
Thurs- Legs, Traps, abs
Fri- Chest, Back, abs

Wow, talk about overtraining city and an injury lurking around the corner. The worst thing to do would be to work chest and shoulders on consecutive days. Along with that, that is way to many major muscles in one workout. If you make any gains without injury or frustration, I would be suprised.

I know that sounds like over training but believe it or not that is what I did for about 3 -4 years. Now if I tried that I would most likely die LOL. Now I see the folly of it but I think as maybe a shock jumpstart to you body for a week or 2 it might not hurt but as dahayz said that much work for someone like youself that has been workingout for 10 yrs is too much!

Thank you so much for that input! I think I am looking to jumpstart into something new. Getting restless and bored and my body has adapted to well the norm.

True enough about the over-doing it with number of bodyparts trained. The part about going to failure and then dropping the weight and going to failure again, I do every set just about (except for legs). I don't drop to 1/2 though; I usually take off 20 lbs. to finish off with about 4 to 6 more reps.
Dropsets, supersets, whatever you want to call them. I have to get plenty of rest and take a week off every 6 or 8 weeks and REALLY stretch a lot before working a part, but adding these has been the #1 thing that has improved my gains. No question.
