Yes, I can squat 400. And yes, was to failure, as many as I can, main number was around 5-7 reps or so. I found that you don't do reps with this lifting routine. You contract the weight: Basicly, i.e, preacher curls for instance. I start out my arms way out, and curl the barbell half way, then hold it for 1-6 seconds, for as long as I can.

I am just wanting to try it for a month, and put down the results, if any.

Basicly I am lifting two days out of the week, Monday, and Thursday.

I do one set, 1 reps, hold for 1-6 secs, on some of the heavier compound lifts, i.e sumo dead lifts, I hold it longer, if I can. If I can hold it longer than 10 sec's, I put heavier weight on it. Basicly after the first week of lifting, I start to add 2-5 percent more weight to what the current weight was. And go heavier.

I wanna try this to see what the results are. After that, I might go back to a split routine like I was doing, but with Max: OT, or do what my brother is telling me to do. Upper one day, lower next, Sunday off.

But as far of what I read in this book, I've read that you don't need so much protein each day, for my weight, its saying I Only Need 170-200 grams of protein, to build muscle, any more used, will just be crapped out, and not used. Is this true? I've read alot of things in this book, like when you hold the weight for a long a few mere seconds, you stimulate over load, and all the muscle fibers used to build big muscles are then recruited, and start building muscle.
