Hey Entropy,
Really informative post. I have a couple questions that I was wondering if you could address (or Carnal, Urban, Keith, or anyone else can chime in)
Can you give what you consider the pros and cons of your routine vs. the pros/cons of something like what Carnal suggests in his "treatise on heavy iron"? Whereas he recommends lifting 3x a week, with a day devoted to Squats, Push, and Pulls each, and primarily focuses on ME work, you opt for the 4x a week, where you combine Squats/Pulls and place (seemingly) equal emphasis on ME/DE work. Are there advantages and disadvantages to each style, and if so, what are they?
On a DE day, what rep range do you prefer for your assistance exercises? and are your main DE exercises always different from the ones you would do on your ME day?
Also, a less important, and probably less intelligent question (forgive my ignorance here): why the high reps on exercises like the single-arm reverse pushdowns, rear delt raises, dumbbell side raises, and french press decline?
Thanks for any info
