100 rep sets

Has anyone experimented with 100 rep sets? Today I did chest and tris and decided to get away from the heavy, short sets. I did as many as I could, taking 15 second breaks in between, until I hit 100 reps/exercise. I reduced the weight to about 40% of my max and it was tough. Would doing this be more beneficial to burning fat or will muscle gain still be attainable?

I do several moves like that, pushup w/bars x4 every morning. I do dumbbell curls kind of like that but take a short breath between every 20 without putting the weight down.
Most of my routines are rep heavy, but I also got an 8 grip pull up bar this year that’s kicking my arse to help balance things out.

Any more strength is good strength, mix it up. Reps are golden, especially if you’re old AF like me.
Find something you dig that establishes a baseline power on both.

Just to mix it up a partner and I did a 100 rep burnout with triceps extension on the cable stack before our arm workout. He would just randomly choose weight every ten of my reps that would challenge me or allow me to “rest.” Don’t know if I would recommend it very often but had the best pump after and made everything else after that so much harder.

Changing up a routine every once in a while is a good thing from my experience. It tends to give your muscles a "shock", which is good. Doing the same routine every week, while for some, may get tedious, it also allows your muscles to get "comfortable".
This is why I always try to do my lifts in a different order each week, and also switch up weight/reps. Some weeks I'll do lower weight, higher reps, other weeks I'll do more weight, less reps. Some weeks I'll do four days of full body workouts instead of targeting a specific muscle group each day.
Keep your body guessing, and you will continue to progress.

I think research shows that routines like German Volume Training aren’t effective. There are only so many sets your body can use to stimulate growth and development.
So you’re essentially doing a calorie burner routine by increasing your heart rate over a period of time.
