Smashnuts - can you add this line right around the Periodisation bullet?

====================
What kind of set/rep scheme should I be using?


Here is a breakdown of the main scheme most serious lifters follow:

ME=maximal effort ..usually 1-5 reps and close to failure...
RE=repitition effort...usually 6-10+ reps to failure
SE=submaximal effort...can be any rep range usually quite a bit off from failure
DE=dynamic effort....usually 1-3 reps for many sets with short rest intervals and light %s...training compensatory acceleration(CAT)...

Thanks to DevilsSon for that.

====================

It won't let me edit because the maximum text length has been reached.
