Hey Eric,
would you ever use a heart rate monitor that tracks your heart rate and tells you when to start your next set (like the watch below) or would you rather go by feel and start each set when your breathing has recovered and your heart rate has normalized.

Well, in 20 years of training I never felt the need to use a monitor such as that and have always gone by feel (unless I am in a phase where I am specifically regulating my rest periods). That said, I would never tell anyone NOT to use one if they felt it valuable.

So Eric, how do you gauge the efficiency of your training? I tend to judge by my soreness. Anyways, i'm looking to up my training intensity. I'm well aware of intensity techniques: dropsets, supersets, rest-pause, etc..Most of the time i tend to do 15 sets per body part 4 or 5 exercises. I'm wondering how i could incorporate these techniques with hurting my gains. Should i try one technique for a week and then change to another for the next week?

Also, i was wondering about how many sets and reps do you recommend for biceps and triceps? I usually do 10 sets for bis, and 10 for tris. It has worked well so far, but just wondering what your input was.

Thanks in advanced!

I do judge somewhat by soreness, but I pretty much can tell during/right after my workout as to whether it was a really good one or not. It is just a sense I get from how I connected with all the exercises, how good my pump was, and how my muscles feel at the completion.

You should look at my PRRS training protocol. You may like the way it works the muscles differently each week.

As for bis and tris, I may only do 7 sets or so for each.

Eric, great to see you on here. What's your overall view of the clean and jerk exercise. Do you incorporate this movement into your weekly workout regiment?

Thanks!

Thanks old friend! I think this is a great exercise for building explosive power, but as a bodybuilder I do not incorporate it myself. However, I do use this with the many athletes of have trained.
