Hello Fellows,

A man called Karsten Pfützenreute found a new system called Pitt-Force. Perhaps you are interested in getting information about it, then look for Pitt-Force in a german bodybuilding forum or i will post some texts from there in english

how should i start...the really new about this system is that you don't do rep after rep - you do one rep and rest for 2-5 seconds, than you do another rep.
when you have already done about 10 reps your breaks get longer, so about 10 seconds - at the end when you are at the 19th rep you rest for about 20 seconds, but don't try to go over 20 seconds of break...

you choose a weight with which you could do 10 continueing reps, but you do only one rep - rest a few seconds and do another rep again - until you got about 20 reps.

yor each exercise you do a easy warmup set and than this set of 20 single repetitions.

example:
chest - benchpress
10 reps at 60pounds
15-20 single reps at 120 pounds

important is that you rest after each rep, without that you wouldn't do something new
the problem to explain the system correct are the words, which are missing in my vocabulary

i hope you understand the mainpoint... i am looking for a better way of explaning it to you...

bueno, algo he podido entender, para mi es mas díficil porque soy de España, y tengo que traducir la página, y no queda correctamente bien. Pero la idea más o menos ya la tengo. saludos!

well.., I could have understood something, for my it (he) is more difficult because I am from Spain, and I have to translate the page, and it(he,she) does not stay correctly well. But the idea more or less already I have it. Regards!

i get it man.... basically you just do a quick warmup of like 10 reps say on bench then you throw on a heavier weight that you could not normally do 20 reps without rest and you do it 1 rep at a time with at least a 5 sec rest inbetween .. your rest period goes up as the reps get higher

You got it , but the first few reps don't need a break of 5 sec, a rest of 2-3sec is ok.

mmmmmm... este entrenamiento lo he probado un día para ver como me iba... la verdad q en un día no se aprecia bien.. a lo mejor es con la constancia. personalmente para fuerza prefiero otros métodos : para pecho lo típico, 2 series de calentamiento, y luego 4 series más de 6 a 8 rep. y luego una última serie con menor peso. ejemplo: si el máximo es 115kg (es lo que yo levanto) la última serie la hago con 80-85kg y hago unas 8 rep. esto me parece más efectivo.

Mmmmmm ... this training I have proved(tried) it one day to see since(as,like) I was going away ... the truth that in one day it does not appreciate well .. probably it is with the witness. Personally for force I prefer other methods: for chest the typical thing, 2 series of warming, and then 4 more series from 6 to 8 rep. and then a last series with minor weight. Example: if the maximum is 115kg (it is what I raise) the last series I do it with 80-85kg and do approximately 8 rep. this seems to me to be more effective.

That ain't bodybuilding all bodybuilding is about is continually making your gross weight your lean weight until you reach your frame size max which will be indicated by your off season weight .Then you train with weights that correspond to your body weight e.g ronnie coleman medium size frame and he is 5'11" tall lean muscular weight minus bodyfat 250lbs ideal gross weight would be 250 x 1.25 =312lbs off season.Contest weight should be 250 x 1.13= 282lbs no more or no less. Now his training lifts until he can compete at 312lbs should be.

bench press 312x1.5=468lbs
squat same as above
barbell row same as above
barbell curl 312/2=156lbs
dumbell curl 312/2=156/2=78lbs
all in all lifts like bench, squat,barbell row have to be 1.5 of your body weight because you have to cancell out the assinting muscles.Like for bench press which would be triceps,squats would be hamstrings,rows forearm and shoulder. Anyway these are just my theories about the sport feel free to challenge anything i may have said because two heads are better than one.
