A brief review from the book:<\/p>\n
The exercises should be performed for one set each and no more. The objective is to fail, to reach the point where you can no longer move the weight, at seven or more repetitions at a 5\/5 cadence<\/strong> (five seconds up and five seconds down).<\/p>\n

Nine sessions and 60 days into Occam\u2019s Protocol and I will say this: I am never looking back. The routine fits perfectly into my schedule.<\/p>\n
The Only Problem<\/span>:<\/strong><\/p>\n
I find it impossible to lift and keep count of my reps while trying to maintain a decent 5\/5 cadence. Probably the biggest mistake I see people make when they begin Occam\u2019s Protocol is with the timing.<\/p>\n
The harder the workout becomes the more likely one is to speed up their cadence and also to take long pauses. This will reduce your total time under tension and in my experience leads to much less post workout muscle fatigue.<\/p>\n
The Solution<\/span>:<\/strong><\/p>\n
A human metronome to count you through your Occam\u2019s Protocol workout routine. Or at least one that you can load onto your IPod.<\/p>\n
