So today I tried out the superhuman protocol that was describe in The 4-hour Body by Timothy Ferriss.
I decided to not do squats or dead lifts and instead just did some bench work. I don't know how I will feel tomorrow because the book never says anything about doing a warm up set, and I did one set for 15.
The purpose of the protocol is to try to build strength without hypertrophy and lactic acid build up, it says to do 2-3 reps for 2-3 sets. I feel like it isn't really that safe to lift without a warm up set so I did a total of 4 sets but only one was for warm up.
My chest didn't feel like it was going to explode but I did have a little bit of tightness in it so I will continue to experiment and figure out what is the best way to approach this protocol.
