Doing extra reps on these two lift could cause an injury especially to the lower back. As fatigue sets in, chance for muscle spasms and incorrect lifting techniques increase.<br><br>The Fifth Week: Now the fun of the BFS System moves into high gear. From now on every time you come into the weight room, you ve got a challenge and an objective. You should try to break as many Set and Rep Records as possible. You begin the 5th week by again doing the 3 X 3 workout. You will notice on the previous month s example, a total of 440 was achieved on the Towel Bench. Your objective is to simply do more!<br><br>AN EXAMPLE OF THE FIFTH WEEK TOWEL BENCH<br><br>Look what happened!! The Set Record was smashed by 70 pounds! In addition, a new 3 Rep Record was attained. (Reer to the example on the previous page) 180 pounds should be recorded under the 3rd Break column along with the 3/3 date.<br><br>*Many athletes like to try to break their 10 Rep Record after doing 3 X 3, since this is a easy week. This is called a  Burnout set. <br><br>WANT TO WIN? BREAK A RECORD!<br><br>The Sixth Week: Break your 5 X 5 Set Record! And as many Rep Records as you can.<br><br>The Seventh Week: Break your 5-4-3-2-1 Set Record; and as many Rep Records as you can.<br><br>The Eighth Week: Break your 10-8-6 or 4-4-2 Set Record.
