Talking Quick question for 0311

Hey bro,

I was just reading this thread and it got me to thinking about something;

If your theory is correct, than wouldn't it mean that running the rack is useless? I think it's also called "stripping". I do this about once a month, where I'll do dumbell curls starting with 85's (after a nice warm-up) and then just decrease weight in one huge set until I want to puke. I'll go right down to 5lbs if my body can take it. Like I said, I only do this once a month, but I read in one of Arnold's BB books that it was a really good way to shock new growth. Even though it kills, and it's all I'll do for my biceps that day, I have found it really does help shock new growth. Too taxing to do more than once a month though.

Couldn't your theory on not decreasing weight on sets (aka the second part of the pyramid) sort of apply to this, making it null and void?


Please advise,


Raven
