Any recommendations for reps/sets/workouts for CBL? I've just been doing heavy as I can 8-12 reps, 3-4 sets for most exercises.
Going for SA. Not backloading on off days.
I find that rep ranges depends on the exercises. Squats and Deadlifts are, in my opinion, best done at low reps. Bench Press can be done at low reps or sets of 8-12 reps. Nearly all assistance work is best done with sets of 8-12 reps.
KenWhat works best for me is to make sure I fail. Take every set to failure. The last 2 reps are what makes you grow whether you are doing Y3T, FST-7's or your own program. Just make sure to fell those last two reps. When I'm on a high rep day (killers) I will do 20-30 reps of an exercise or until I really feel those last 2 reps. If its a heavy day and my range is 6-8 reps, same goal. And if I don't feel it at 8 I keep going until I do and up the weights for the next set.

THIS ^^Low-moderate-high Rep ranges all have their place... just be sure to figure out for yourself which one stimulates your muscle the best (and that depends also upon which exercise your doing). Just to be safe, I would say you should at least do one heavy compound movement (e.g. dead,squat,bench) to absolute failure for 5 reps or less for tGlut activation.
