Well, ok... at the request of BFold I'm posting up my general scheme of training... no specific exercises, unless people wish me too... as i feel it's just a waste of space.
First, I think it is important to understand how the muscle works. With the help of my roommate, I'm able to describe this better.
The muscle is made up of different fibers... type 1 and type 2... type two contains A, B, and C fibers as well.
Training HEAVY and Low reps will hit the B&C fibers, but will totally neglect the Type 1 and Type 2a fibers... Type 2bc fibers are the biggest and the strongest... so if you are beginning and trying to get size on, lifting heavy will throw some size on you.
Training for higher reps, with not as high a weight, will hit your Type 1 and 2a fibers... this will add some size to you, especially if you are a powerlifter and aren't used to the whole "High Rep" game. These fibers are smaller, but if you don't hit them often, then you are missing out on some added size.
Many people feel that if they train a certain body part twice a week, one day heavy and the next for high rep... they will get the double advantage... however, this is not true.
By training the different muscle fibers on different days of the same week, you aren't giving them adequate enough time to adjust and recouperate to the training... a month to month variety should be used. Such as, Heavy training one month, and then high rep training the next.
With this method of training, I think you can maximize the total efficency of your training to get your size and strength to the higher potential that simply working one set of the fibers.
