A couple of things here. eric, the problem I had with the complexes was that it didnt allow for use of optimal wieghts. From what i remember some of the movements were full range. So I would have to drop the wieghts inorder to complete the move. This would be the same problem I had with doing high reps.

The other thing I want to look at is Lyle's last post. He suggests completely seperating the high and low rep schemes like this

Quote:
Squat: 2X5/3'
Bench press: 2X5/3'
Row: 2X5/3'
any heavy core work.
take a 5' rest. Now.

The above should take like 20-30' tops and will maintain your strength for extended periods.

Circuit crap: set up your circuit and do whatevr you choose to do.

To be honest I dont see the logic. It will keep strength up, and then you get some endurance work. What I want is to be able to hit as hard as possible, for as long as possible. For that reason I will look more toward the RP variant I was talking about earlier on his forum.

Eric, As for the sample movements in Wiggins article, I dont think that is even near the workout I will be doing. Give me some time to post up what I am thinking of doing, then critique me. I have a feeling its gonna look a lot diff then wiggins.
