I've been thinking the same thing monsta. I'm going to increase my pull ups. I might just start doing 50. Just as many as I can in a set...and keep going until I hit 50. The fact that I haven't been able to get into the gym much is really why I've been thinking about increasing volume.

Tomorrow I think I'll be doing some more volume. I might switch it up to 4X8-12. I have been getting a great workout doing 3X8. It's still basically the same number of reps as a 5X5. I'm starting to become conditioned to the 3X8, so I might switch back to a 5X5 for a few weeks (just with bench press). The 3X12 I did on squats last Friday was AWESOME. It sucked so bad...I LOVED it. I am loving 3X8 for military press also. Overall, I'm just trying to get out of the 4-6 rep range. And 5X8-12 is a lot of reps. So I'm thinking I'll try to stay at 3-4X8-12. I do such a long warmup that my first set is always very heavy for me. I'm still exploring a bit...I think that's really the only way for me to find out how I respond to different rep ranges and sets.
