Your 3X3 Set Record and Rep Records are shown above.<br>In the BFS Set-Rep System, if you are going to start your first counting set in the 300-pound range, you would do 2-3 warm-up sets. After looking at your 3X3 Set Record, you see that last month (2-15) you started at 315 pounds. Therefore, to be on line to break your set record, you think you should start at 320 pounds. You do 5 reps at 225 pounds and 3 reps at 275 pounds for warm-ups. You are not feeling all that great. For some reason the bar feels heavy today, but you suck-up and go for the 320 pounds. You make it, but it is a little shaky. However, you say to yourself, that if you can get the next set at 330 pounds, you can most likely reach your goal and break your 3X3 Set Record. <br>You get yourself psyched and visualize beating the bar. You also visualize your technique. With a roar, you get the first rep. The second rep is a gut buster, but you have got to try for that third rep. It doesn t go. Now you have to go to the penalty table. Shingle nails! You only get credit for 315 pounds. Bummer. <br> Okay, you say to yourself. How can I salvage this workout? The set record is out of reach but maybe I can break a rep record. You think the easiest one to break is the 8-rep record. You put on 270 pounds. The first reps go easy. You get six, then seven and now eight reps. A record! It s real heavy now but if you could just squeeze out another two you could get another record. You just barely get nine reps but that s not good enough because you do not get credit for it. You know that you have to get one more. Just one more. You give it all you have but you only get it halfway. Exhausted, you set the bar down and record what you have just done. <br> You totaled 885 pounds on your 3X3 Set Record. You record 270 pounds on your new 8-rep record. After a moment, you realize that you gave everything you had and even though you were down a little bit, you still broke, at least, one record. You vow to do better next time.<br> What happens if you are down a little bit on a periodization program? You fail completely. Pure and simple. The BFS System is the only program where you can be down and still break personal records. This is one reason we get massive voluntary participation. This is our underlying goal at the high school and non-scholarship college levels. Until our next issue, may you break personal records every day. nd then as athletes become more flexible, instead of increasing the weight, they can try it from a box or platform. This will allow athletes to get the maximum stretch possble which, according to Stefan, is the whole idea of this great auxiliary exercise that can be done quickly, in any weightroom with excellent rs do not have rotating sleeves or moving parts so it is easy to compare bars from different companies. BFS does recommend that you stay away from the old-style trap-bar diamond design because they do not allow sufficient legroom when performing the lift. <br>BFS has a 45-pound Hex Bar for $129; a 45-pound High-Hex Bar for $139; a 45-pound Combo Hex Bar (which includes a set of regular handles and a set of high handles) for $189; and for your powerhouses, a 75-pound Mega Hex Bar that holds nine 45-pound
