    Was talking to COH about this and he said he loves it. Just making the last set as "as many as you can get" set.

    I like greyskull - I use it as a base template for clients I don't see too often. Johnny recommends a lot of neck harness work but I sub in more upper back/direct trap work.

    Day 1 - I like doing a few tricep/rear delt isolation superset
    Day 2 - same with bicep/rear delt.

    Just because who doesn't want bigger arms.

    I have an excel spreadsheet for it if you want I'll email it to you if you PM me your address.

    which sounds really like a lets warm up a bit and do a hardgainer/HIT set to finish

    Yah I think he was saying he likes to just add weight to the bar each week until it ends up as a legit hard 3x5 or whatever effort.

    Makes a lot of sense for beginners I think - some practice/skill work, and then some real work :)

    Another vote for GSLP here. The ebook is definitely worth a read.

    His forum is also worth a gander as well http://strengthvillain.com/forum/
