  1. Hi Blair.

    I have seen that you often do a 5,5,5+ way with heavy exercises. I have not seen that way of training before. Is this a new "training-system" based on science, or something you have find out works for you?
    Just curious about training "facts"...

    (I do almost the same but stay at for exampel 5 reps per set until I hit faliure with in 5 reps. For exampel: 5,5,5,3 at approx. 65%, 75%, 85% and 90% of 1RM)

    Like your blogg. Thanks beforehand for your answer...

  2. hey martin, its part of a training program called 5/3/1 by an american guy named wendler. if you google it, you will find plenty of information. i've found it to be very effective thus far.
