fReAk fAcToR method: Rep Cycling

First...if you haven't done so..please read on what the freakfactor method is all about:
tHefReAk fAcToR method

Every three weeks...cycle your reps. Meaning cycle the mininum reps on each exercise week to week but do it in this fashion.
week one @ 12 reps mininum
week two @ 10 reps mininum
week three @ 15 reps mininum
week four @ 8 reps mininum
Or
week one @ 15 reps mininum
week three @ 10 reps mininum
week five @ 12 reps mininum
the idea here is to NOT let your body adjust to a certain rep mininum. This will keep you constantly growing and gettin stronger. Of course if your a powerlifter this sans the big 3. Here's one for the BIG 3..
week one- 1@5+ 1@4. 1@3+
week three- 1@4+ 1@3 1@2+
week five- 1@6+ 1@5 1@4+
Give this a go. This amps up the muscle confusion and keeps from hittin that wall...
