does short and intense workouts mean more sets and more reps on a short period of time? |

yeah, you get stronger, but your body isnt in a good physical shape. I wouldnt suggest doing this kind of workout unless you play football as a lineman, are going into competitive weight lifting, or just want to not be able to touch the back of your head and be so stiff that people(like me) laugh at you -------------

I don't know if you guys heard me, but I did over a thousand. I know it's boring, but it is my life.

| Ok if you want to bulk up a little, i have found that more reps will do the trick. You don't want to always be maxing out(only every once and a while to see your progress). You especially don't want to do that at first. It will build muscle faster that way. |

| In the class I am in, we do 5-4-3-2-1. Which is, you do 5 reps at a weight that you feel comfortable then do 4 reps, 3...etc. You can add weight as you go down in the number of reps you do, or keep the weight the same, either way it's a great workout. We do this with both bench and squats. |

| If you can do 7 of them, it definitely isn't your max. |

Its not how much you lift its knowing how to lift correctly that will build you up.

In the class I was in last year, and will be in next year, we did something similar. The first week we did 3x3, then 5-4-3-2-1, 5x5, and finally 10-8-6. After 10-8-6 you just repeat the process. It seemed to work fairly good. |
