Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | I have done this routine lots of times and always got results. heavy singles 3 x 1 reps in a time limit for the heavy singles start off with a weight that youre comfortable with. say, 115kg and just add 2.5kg each week. if you fail to get all 3 drop back the weight again next week and build back up again. for the reps, choose a target number of reps that you want to get with the comp weight. then take take say 10kg (just an example) of that and do your target number of reps with the lighter weight. again, raise the weight 2.5kg each week. and again, if you fail to get your target drop the weight back and build back up again. try and get your timing and pace to what you want it to be with the comp weight but with the lighter weights. dont do any extra reps either even if it feels easy. try and set your build up so you hit your target reps with the comp weight on comp day. obviously you need to be realistic with your initial target for this to work though! hope that helps. | ||

Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | yeah 3 x 1, then reps in the comp time limit every session. so something like.. 115kg 3 x 1 100kg x 5 (or whatever your target is) in 75secs (or whatever the comp time limit is) then add 2.5kg on each the next week. backing off if you need to. | ||

But then you'll probably stall. Pick a few exercises, making sure they are gonna carry over, then push them up and your log will go up. simples. | ||
