Cathe- PUB/PLB-- endurance or strength workout?

[Lynn M.]

Hi Cathe--

I am in the middle of using your Intensity Series in a rotation and am really enjoying it.

I wanted to find out from you if you consider the PUB/PLB to be more endurance or more strength based? How do you compare it to the PS and S and H series as far as strength gains?

My goal is maximum muscle gains. I have been using S and H as the foundation of my regimen, and then switch to your endurance based workouts occasionally for the "body shock" factor. Do you have any suggestions on how I can make the Pyramid workouts most effective for me?

Thank you in advance for you advice!

Lynn

How many reps per body part is in the PUBs? VF claimed there was about 150?

 

[MickiV]

Two exercises supersetted for each body part. 5 sets each of 12, 10, 8, 10 and 12. That's 52 reps each exercise 104 per body part, except for shoulders which have a giant set of three exercises same rep counts--that comes up to 156 for shoulders.

No "claiming" about it

I would be interested in learning whether PUB/PLB is considered an endurance or strength workout. I have several strength workouts and am looking to purchase an endurance workout.

As is, I would think it's more of an endurance workout. I usually increase the rests between sets so I can use heavier weights, to make it more of a strength workout.
