Raynor, about to start your hypertrophy plan next week, just want to make sure that I understand it

as far as sets / breaks go it should go like this right?

For single exercise sets -

Set 1 - Warm up 15x reps light weight
30 sec break
Set 2 - 10-12x reps medium weight
30 sec break
Set 3 - 8-10x reps medium/heavy weight
60 sec break
Set 4 - 75% max weight to failure, wait 5-10 sec repeat to failure
60 sec break
Set 5 - same as Set 4
no break
Set 6 - Cut weight in half, go to failure

For superset exercises -

Set 1 - Warm up 15x reps light weight
30 sec break
Set 2 -  light/medium weight to failure
60 sec break
Set 3 - slight increase in weight, go to failure
60 sec break
Set 4 - slight increase in weight, go to failure
60 sec break
Set 5 - slight increase in weight, go to failure


am I understanding this correctly?

What determines how much facial hair you grow? Is it just genetics or does testosterone play a part at all (or is that broscience?)

Curious question on drinking raw eggs..
Why do a lot of people drink them in the mornings? Well most of my family that are boxers usually chug like 2-3 down, two times a week.

Having troubles picturing where in the two workout plans you've given me that my press machine could come in handy. I'm trying to get a bit of self-convincing done that the press machine wasn't a waste of money -- I understand the principles that you said machines are good for specialized targeting, but I guess I'm still a newb on the matter.

Also, don't have a hip aductor or leg press: any substitution?
