3 x per training session the second week of this microcycle and 4 x per training session the
third week of this microcycle
You must use the entire 2-minute rest period on your sets of 25!!! If you do not, you might not
be able to use sufficient weight or complete the prescribed reps, which will not elicit enough
lactate and consequently not produce enough growth hormone.
