Hello there! I started with the TM-Tests / 1RM-Tests for my lifts and I always waited for a minimum of 2 minutes between sets (golden rule). If I for example will do 5x5 Squat / 5x5 Bench / 5x5 WPUs this will need a lot of time (with warmup, changing weights etc.). How do you use this time? Between...

I'll pile on to what the others have said here, warm-up and pick up where you left off. Maximal-strength training shouldn't be negatively affected by that kind of interruption to any great degree. Hypertrophy and conditioning might, depending on session type.

Any experience with this? I've heard good things in terms of energy, and maybe fat burning... Thinking of giving it a try.

Just came across this information. There is a theory out-there saying that greatest determining factor of an athlete’s physiology is their Neurotransmitter Profile. They say that: - Dopamine dominant athletes respond best to intensity - Acetyl Choline dominant athletes respond best to variety - Tho...

Anecdotally, after only doing SE for a few months in the summer and returning to MS in the fall, my max bench press actually improved. So that made me think....what's the point (of MS for me)? Read up on how MS and SE work with each other, lots of resources with a simple google search. Dropping MS ...

Looking over this thread looks like you need a hard reset. The impression I get skimming seems like when you followed a TB protocol properly, you improved. Then for some reason you started mixing and matching stuff, neglected MxS, and it's become some kind of jumble. Max strength most definitely has...

This is awesome Grouchy. How did A.J. do? Did you get a chance to talk training or pick up any tips?
