Anyone ever heard of ladders? Where u take a weight, say135 for incline bench... And do one set every minute on the minute and add a rep each minute... Minute one, one rep. Minute two, two reps. Minute three, three reps... And so on.... Would it be effective for assistance at a certain percentage? I powerlift and had a guy at my gym introduce them to me... Wanted an opinion, and also wanted to know if this is something new, or if it existed already. Thanks!

I'm not familiar with these... but it seems very time consuming, and I don't see how/why it would be any more effective that any number of other assistance work options.-2013 USAPL Michigan State Championships 198lb Raw Mens Open, 1st Place (1217 total)

Ladders are not new and can be a fun change of pace to an assistance move every now and then
We typically use them on the GHR, starting at 5 and going to 15, if you can make it back down to 5, you are very strong
Ladders are also popular with chin/pull-ups"You need never feel broken again"Comment
