Also interesting to note that as lifters become more experienced volume is increased by way of frequency.

how does he recommend choosing rep ranges?

rep ranges is pretty straight-forward really once you understand the training effect- you choose the appropriate range. I think he said generally speaking bench ranges were 10-1, squat 6-1, deadlift 5-1- but obviously different rep ranges address different objectives and so its about rep/load.

I spent the train trip into work reading the students page on Boris's website. Some interesting technique observations in there. 3 themes emerged:
- he hates lifters doing their own lift-out in bench press
- wear a belt for every lift 60kg and above.
- pause the 1st rep of every set for bench press

I'd love to know what's the rationale behind wearing a belt for every lift at 60+kg.

The vibe I got from the My Students page is that it has something to do with injury prevention. I didn't wear a belt until about 80%, and would feel like a pussy if I wore it with lower weights, but now Uncle Boris has commanded so, I shall be wearing a belt always.  |

It feels so nice to wear a belt though. Plus you look so stylish in it.

I wore it down the streets once. Chicks dig such bold fashion statement, I agree.
