Bossi's routine

[Deleted]

Paul,
Sent you a few emails but didn't hear back from you so hopefully you could answer here...

My question is related to your routine: it's seems to be known/proven that
a) Different body types respond differently to rep ranges - for instance some respond best to 8-10 reps, while others respond better to 6-8 etc
b) With training age the body adopts to lower reps so that lower reps become much more effective then higher reps.

With that in mind how do I use your routine if anything over 5 reps feels like cardio to me? And also if I were to wait till I hit 4 reps with some weight I could be waiting forever while I could actually move up in weight if I stayed with 3 reps - for instance I still can't do 305 for 4, and yet I can do 310 & 315 for 3?

Also on the triceps/shoulders day should I be going to failure as well? on all sets or just one final set?

the last thing is about peaking on your routine - you said that "strength will improve each week with peaks coming on the 8th week" - does it mean after 8 weeks I can expect to see a drop in strength or what? What adjustments would I need to take then?
your help would be greately appreciated!

the thing is that it is really just one persons routine that worked for him. It may not work for you, so you should taylor it to fit your needs. Like for me I do deads twice a day and have made mega improvements, other could not do that. Also I can not do bench twice a day it would murder me even heavy and light. So I always take a routine that looks good and move it around to fit my needs. His three reps is to test your where your are at, but you do not have to do the three sets of what ever exactly like it says. The routine did work for me, and tries and shoulders I personall always go to failure, but each person in powerlifting is totally different.
