linear sets training

[tackeroni]

I was reading about John Meadows and his training recommendations for new guys. He said to do linear sets, so would that mean on chest day for example I do 4 sets of pushing until I can only hit 2-3 more reps close to failure? This would be a twice a week thing. If I did them I calculated it to over 20 sets a week just on that spot, is that too much?

I like linear sets but you need to combine with drop sets
mobster has more info on this

the chest can be worked to death, however the shoulders and joints like elbows cannot cause they will take a beating. so on chest day you are going to maybe cause injuries

Contact John and ask.

I haven’t tried linear sets. Sounds interesting.
