The 5% method

There are several things of most importance in the sport of natural body building, one of them being attempting to become stronger all the time. I am a big fan of all smart techniques that can help me increase my strength. Here is one of them I liked. It's called 'The 5% method' by Alwyn Cosgrove. Here is his own explanation on how it is performed:
"Choose the heaviest weight you can lift eight times (your eight-rep max) and do four sets of seven repetitions, resting three minutes between each set. Do the same for your next two workouts (do one workout every five days), but increase the weight by 5% each session and decrease the reps by one. In your fourth workout, do seven-repetition sets again, but use the weight you used in your second workout. You'll be 5% stronger than when you started. Here's an example:

Workout 1: Do four sets of 7 reps with 100 pounds.
Workout 2: Do four sets of 6 reps with 105 pounds.
Workout 3: Do four sets of 5 reps with 110 pounds.
Workout 4: Do four sets of 7 reps with 105 pounds."

I have to give the credit to guys like A. Cosgrove for the smart stuff they come up with.
Try it and see how it works.
