• 1st pump set: 5's into the Hole.
• 2nd Pump set (esp. if using the same exercise): Reverse 21's

- A lot of different lifts, Smith Hack Sissy Squats, Donkey Calves in Hack Squat. Scoop Incline Flyes, Somersault Squats, Hamstring Curl Ab Crunches, BOSU Situps, and probably 5 or 6 variations on lifts I came up with on my own, that were inspired by something I saw or read on here.

- 5's in the hole, and many other pump set variations, Breeze's "evil evens", Dens' "5's in the hole, and out again".

- A ton on muscle growth from listening to Scott's interviews / podcasts.

- How to actually train my abs to GROW!!

-How to auto-regulate my own training, blast to blast, week to week, day to day.

I'm forgetting something I know.

One of my favorite things I've learned from the program ... How to cripple myself with muscle fatigue / DOMs from just a set or two.

Quote:I have done this combo a few times (many times tier 3 for biceps) and it is outrageously effective.

(I think I'll have to stick this thread, probably.


It just seems to flow as a natural succession of Pump set strategies.

But I would say at the top of my list are the people:
(1) Scott, for being active on the site and providing frequent feedback and answers; and
(2) the members of this site who ask great questions, provide commentary, feedback, constructive criticism, insights and advice.

I can't think of another place in any sport where a person can pick the brain of a highly touted trainer with such ease.
