He's not training for hypertrophy.
I think his reps should either be around 3 if he wants to be more explosive or very high(around 20) if he wants endurance.. He wants to maintain the lowest weight possible so low reps will work on his power while his training should keep his endurance up..

Ill post up my strength training program later tonight, but long story short it kinda looks like this.....
4 sets total of specific lift. 5 reps at heavy weight, followed immediately with no rest, 15-20 reps light weight. There is a percentage I follow off of my 1 rep max. Supposedly this training will increase explosive power as well and muscle stamina. We got it off of a MMA training program. Too early to tell results, but the pump is incredible! THe lifts I usually use this program on are....squats, dead lifts, lat pull downs, rows, leg extensions, leg curls, shrugs and bench. THe program seems like it is all over the place, but there is actually a science to it. This week I am going to do the lifts I just mentioned.
Next week is more cardio/sprints/light weights/plyometrics. The following week is more sport movement training with one day of lifting. As soon as I get time, I will go more into it. Waiting on my TGC shipment to come in, so I can get rid of the gear I have now and jump on something that has gotten awesome reviews.
Also going to start 3 weeks of prop to kick start things, while still taking the testE. The last 3 weeks I am going to jump back on prop to help the PCT cycle. So far, I am feeling more animal by the day and recovery seems to be increasig a little by little.
Just for entertainment value here are 2 pics about 5 weeks apart, lol. As you can see in the first pic, my clean bulk didnt go according to plan. Also forgot I had a tournament coming up in 6 weeks, and I had to drop about 25lbs to make weight. Lots of cardio, diet and hard work.

Thanks bro. Alls I did for 5 weeks was CARDIO (low intensity in the morning, grappling practice at night) 5x's a week, weight train 3x's a week and followed an easy to make DIET, and an ECA stack. No other supplements besides your normal protein shakes. The key in me going from 185-190 down to 159 for weigh ins was my diet. I knew exactly how much calories I was taking in, and I made sure that every calorie I ate went towards energy and recovery. I was able to keep most of the weight off til today. I usually roam around the 170 range. Sometimes lower, sometimes a lil higher.
Fast forward to today. Depending on what my workout schedule looks like is how I eat during the day. If I know Im going to have a hard day at work and a really intense training night/practice.....Ill make sure to get in some good carbs and clean protein, and eat a lil higher in calories. If it is an easy day, Ill load up more on the protein and less in the carbs. I usually eat according to how my body feels and what it needs.
Cant wait til thursday. My TGC supps should be in. Excited to see/try what everyone has been raving about.

Alrighty, injection went smooooth as butter! 100mg prop and 250mg testE (2cc total) in the left butt cheek and no pain at all! The real test is tomorrow and the next day.
Went to the gym for a quick little lift before I head off to practice. Did some biceps, triceps and traps.
4 sets total. 5 reps dumbells regualar curl with 45's. Immediately followed by 15 reps with the 20's.
4 sets total. 10 reps tricep pulldown at 150lbs on cable. Immediately followed by 20 reps at 75lbs.
4 sets total. 10 reps upright rows with barbell 85lbs total. Immediately followed by 20 reps at 35lbs.
Just a short and sweet workout. Left the gym drenched with sweat and awesome pump (my weights are lower than normal because of the lack of rest in between sets). Got home took a protein shake immediately followed by a fruit bowl. Getting ready for jiu jitsu practice. Gonna do alot of drilling and sparring. That should take care of the cardio today.
Tomorrow I got uphill sprints in the sand. 12 sets at 100% effort for 10 seconds. Rest until HR is back to resting. Then gonna hit up the north shore for a surf session. First swell of the winter (fun sized).

weight still at 175, but I feel alot stronger and feel more full. couple of buddies commented on how much bigger i look and asked about my weight. us jiu jitsu guys are like girls....we care more about scale numbers than appearance. they thought i was easily in the 180's but were surprised to see my at 174.3.
