matt,
5x5 = 25 reps which u know adds #s to ur 1RM, right?
ok,
similarly,
10x3 = 30 reps which is close to 25 and will add #s to my 1RM plus it will also add a bit of hypertrophy

I dont test 1rm anymore either, but isnt that the goal? I look at everything in terms of the bottom line. If I'm training for strength, 1rm should be improving. If I'm sprinting, my intensity should be improving, If I'm working on strength endurance, my rest intervals should be decreasing. so on and so forth.

no, for me everything is not 1RM. im not a powerlifter. I am a powerbuilder. also, my goals right now have very little to do with 1RMs...
here are my goals:
1.) get from 18% bf to 12.
2.) get my deads up to 225 (this will happen very soon)
3.) overhead press 185 (this will take another 4-6 months)
thats all i am concerned about, matt.
more importantly i want to get big and strong overall.
