Dies Irae Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I just want to get this clear: The first edition of BtGB says that the athletes operate at 70% of max capacity with basic strength moves (FBE's), and that you should use 3-5 reps for the sets. So is this correct: suppose you want to start with 3 reps per set, do you pick an exercise in which your max # of reps is 5? 70% of 5 is 3.5 so you would start with 3 or 4 reps, some told me 3 is better or more recommended. Is this how it is? And if you want to start with 5 reps per set, do you start with an exercise you can do 7 max reps with? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenEagle Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 You can design your workout routines with that train of thought in mind. You can also start doing a fbe with 70% of your max and work your way up to a goal in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
