Just a little bit about the 8 x 8 routine and how it`s supposed to be done and some mdifications we`ll use while doing it:
It was developed by Vince Gironda........Vince wanted you to pick 4 exercises and do 8 x 8 on each one, totalling 32 sets per bodypart,all done as fast as possible, using a constant weight on each movement.
He advised cutting rest time down to 15-20 seconds between sets if possible,starting at about 30 seconds between sets,again,if possible, depending on a persons fitness level and their ability to stand pain.......not for the faint hearted or wimps who don`t enjoy a challenge.
When we do it,we`ll use two exercises, and do 8 x 8 on both of them, as fast as possible,using a constant weight,and increasing poundages little by little when we are able to,we`ll also be attempting to decrease rest time between sets whenever possible.......this goes back to Vinces high intensity type training which he called "Intensity Of Effort",which is doing the most possible work, in the shortest possible anmount of time.
I think 32 sets is way too much to recover from personally,hence the 16 sets we`ll be using.................on some bodyparts we`ll do a last finishing exercise to one set of failure..................maybe two exercises on some bodyparts.
We tried it on legs today while doing squats but we had to go too light, and decided that on leg day we would just always do something different, and not use the 8 x 8 approach............we`ll only use it on upperbody exercises.
It is supposed to be brutally painful once you determine which poundages to use..........the first week will be a trial and error week where we attemtp to get poundage selection correct, and we`ll adjust this the next week according to our findings during the first week.
We tried it on arms last Friday so now we know where to aded or subtract poundage for this FRidays arm workout
You must use a much lighter weight to start with because you want to go fast and complete all 8 sets of 8 reps,except for possibly on the last 2-3 sets,but never want to fail early on in the workout or the weight you selected was too heavy.
You only go to failure on the last few sets as the earlier one act as a pyramid type warmup and to set up nerve pathways.
We needed something new that was tough, so we`ll give it a shot............if we don`t like it,no biggie,we`ll just try something else, but we will do our best to see how it goes and hopefully it`ll give us some new gains.
From everything I`ve read on it,it`s supposed to be brutal,which is what we`re looking for,so here goes nothing!! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Mon. June 18th.
Quads,Calves,Posterior Chain:
Quads: Squats: 8 x 8 with 185 pounds After some free hand squats,we did these as fast as possible but it wasn`t taxing at all so we scrapped the 8 x 8 idea on leg days and just did some other brutally insane stuff which I`ll now record below.
Tri-Set: {Leg Press: 4 plates a side - 20 reps 5 plates a side,plus a 25 pounder - 15 reps 6 plates a side - 12 reps {Squat Machine: 185 - 15 225- 12 275 - 8 {Walking Dumbell Lunge: 3 sets walking around the pereimeter of the gym.......about 52 yards or so..........brutal - 25,20,15 pounders Totally insane and painful........no rest whatsover except to run/hobble to the next exercise..........legs were like jelly and we were breathing like runaway locomotives!!
Calves: Leg Press Calf Raise: 5 x failure,plus half reps to failure
Standing Calf Raise: 5 x failure,plus half reps to failure Pyramided up and then back down in weight I go,you go stlye!
Posterior Chain: Reverse Hyper Machine: 45-12 70-12 90-10 135-10 70-12 Hadn`t done these in quyite a while so stayed fairly light but the 135 felt pretty tough!
trained at 8 AM and my legs are still pumped,veiny,and wobbly.........great intense workout!

Great leg workout Tim!
I like the idea behind the 8x8 routine, but I have to admit that I get VERY bored doing it. I sometimes do just one exercise for the day in that fashion.

Tues. June 19th.Chest & Abs:Chest:Bench Press: 8 x 8 with 150 pounds I know the weight looks wimpy but I haven`t done benches in over a year....gotta` leave the ego at the door on this routine so I`m cool with it.
Did 16 sets between us and they took exactly 11 minutes to complete ,so it was intense, and this speed more than made up for the lack of heavy weights.Dumbell Inclines: 8 x 8 with the 60 pounders Took us exactly 12 minutes to do the 16 total sets.Flyes: 1 x 20 with the 40 pounders These took us 3 minutes, which equalled 34 sets for chest in 30 minutes total time..........we be intense!! ;D Abs:Super-Set:{Upside Down Situps: 3 x failure {Rope-Crunches: 3 x failure - 10 plates Good one to start the 8 x 8 with...........we`ll add weight to the bar as we get accustomed to the routine.

Tim, I have a DVD that a friend of mine gave me on Vince Gironda's training systems. They don't use much weight at all, sometimes a little as 10-15lbs. But you can tell the intensity is fierce! I can't think of the guys name but he was very close to Vince for a long time and is keeping the legacy of his training principles alive. I think there is a web site on Vince Gironda.

Joel,you are talking about Ron Kosloff..........I have corresponded with him a few years back. I WILL not be using anything that light,in fact I`m determined to add weight to the bar whenever possible but boy am I sore today. Legs are sore down to the bone and my chest is wrecked!
