I saw a suggestion online re upper body body-weight exercises - do 40% of your reps to failure 5 times a day - spread throughout the day. I must say I would find that commitment quite daunting.[/QUOTE]

I'm being a bit dense here, but would that mean, say, blasting out 4 sets pressups to failure, then another 6 sets of press-ups to sub-failure, followed by later in the day doing the same 'batch' of exercises 4 more times?

So, if 30ish was my max to failure, I'd do (30 - 30 - 30 - 30 follwed by say 10 - 10- 10 - 10 - 10 -10) X5 ?
