I recently finished "The Way To Live" and man, what a read! If you haven't read it, I highly recommend you pick it up.
One thing I don't really grasp yet is the workouts prescribed in there, though.
In the book he outlines the "best training method", prescribes daily, twice a day, for all muscles, followed by exercise series for the neck, shoulders, chest, back, arms and legs.
The series go from 3-6 exercises and he advises to do 5 reps with your 10RM weight, increasing by 1 weekly. When you reach 10 reps, increase the weight as described and start afresh from 5.
He doesn't mention any set numbers so I guess it's just one set at a time? Doing the whole workout for 1 Set takes me about 20 minutes.
Now to my question: is this the correct way to follow this training style or am I missing something? 1-2 sets, 3-6 days a week?
bonus question: if the above answer is yes, could you pair it with something like S&S? say MO, WED, FRI S&S and TUE, THU, SAT Hackenschmidt's training?
Thanks!
