Oh, I know! I was just kidding around. Anuj told me you'd pm'd. This after I've tried to convice him of the same thing you've just said.

Progression is slower and although there are more total reps that count as work sets - in reality there's only 1 really heavy set of 5 and another of 3 each week.
I think that was where his resistance was coming from. Actually from the sound of him I gather he was beating his head into the wall with everything he had to continue on Ripp's setup. Just be glad you knew when to stop when the weights stopped as otherwise you can dig yourself into a nice hole that's pretty hard to rebound from (I actually did it as an experiment once and will never ever do it again).

Yeah. Sounds like you know how to explain this stuff a lot better than me! That was exactly what I was getting from him.
Oh, and Anuj, sorry to speak of you in the third person...
