After mentioning this method in Roberts journal, rather than taking it off topic I thought I'd start a new thread.
1-6 method is a form of wave loading.
Its very straight forward and I've found it really effective in my own training. You also get the benefits of heavy singles combined with some heavy repping.
Heres an excert from an old workout where I was using 1-6 on the bench press.
120kg x 1
100kg x 6
122.5kg x 1
102.5kg x 6
125kg x 1
105kg x 6
ok so there ya go. That heavy single stimulates your nervous system which then allows you to rep with a heavier weight than you normally would be able to. Thats pretty much the jist of it.
