its the concept of pre-exhaustion. i learned it years ago. my coach once had me work up to close-grip 3 boards doin 635 for a triple which blew up my triceps(in a shirt btw). then he has me take 675 full range. didn't think about how heavy it was cause of the work i had done and it flew up fast.

conditioning and throwing your body "completely" for a loop. everyone is used to working up to a max and maybe dropping down and being finished right?

well why don't we change that. instead of working down...work back up. me and another bro has found out that we move heavier weight faster by the time we get to the 4th set. it also simulates what powerlifters will experience in competition in terms of energy expenditure. at this level, you'll be able to still go balls to the wall without bein exhausted. also, it eliminates the mental aspect. if you attempt 700 for a single after bein pre-exhausted, no way will you be intimidated if you triple it.

i've been training like this for a month now and every week my weights are moving a LOT FASTER...squats, bench, and deads. training like this does something wicked to your speed against heavier weights and not just light weights.

i hope this helps,
TB
