Many thanks. So I guess Mark thinks the one set to failure is NOT enough for complete muscle growth.

Not really true. It's just a split cycle with more volume. He said you will alternate between both.

^^ What Zero said. With a vacation coming next week, I plan on giving 3.1 6 weeks now in the gym (if I can take it for that long) and then back to my TA 3.0 custom of two sets to failure per muscle group.

Hi, all

I'm going to ask a silly question. But i got to do it, Now usaly when i change my workout (Ever 6 weeks) I usaly change my exercise aswell my workout. To try to get the most muscle confusion as posible. Now I did have alot of sucsess, with 3.0 and i am over do to change things. So why r we useing the same Exercises in 3.1 as we did in 3.0? I am worried about platueing. on a exercise. Like push dwns. or peck deck.

Again answer is in the article. Swap between 3.1 & 3.0. Im doing 9 weeks of 3.1 (because week rest perfect timing for my holiday) then when back 8 weeks off 3.0 week off back to 3.1 etc.

Although may change if mark finds or changes some details that makes it even better.

That wasn't his question.

Masses, the main point here is progression. As long as you're adding weight onto the bar, you're gaining mass. Although the exercises from 3.0 are in 3.1, there's new ones as well so you'll be fine. You shouldn't plateau with just a cycle of 8-10 weeks. If you do, just change it up. Cable Crossovers instead of Pec Deck and so on, not hard to think of exercises that are similar.

Dam really need to stop repyling to posts when ive just woke up for work and can read things properly lol

Cool ty for the quick reply. I'll give it ago.

Hi,

I like your descriptions, i read it and your good post.

Tarot reading

Am I supposed to do all of the mass phase workouts in one day, recover and do them again for three workouts and the do the 4th consolidated work out? This would mean skipping days at the gym, right? I am a little confused about this. Please help!!

Yes... You figure out your own recovery by determining your strength next time at the gym. So, go do a mass phase workout on Monday. Come back to lift on Thursday and see if you increased the weight or extra reps(s) on everything. If yes, that was 72 hours POP rest. Now, go to the gym on Saturday which is 48 hours rest time and see if you get stronger. If yes, go to the gym every other day. So, Monday, Wednesday, Friday are all mass phases. Now, Sunday would be a consolidation day.
