just got PM'd Member 1945, 685 posts | As I have recently started squatting heavier and doing much more events work on Saturday, i have been hammering my body more. I also began to only train once a week mainly events but some gym stuff during the Christmas period. While doing this I made solid gains, my power clean, overhead, squat and deadlift went up 10kgs and my strict 5kgs in a month. I also lost all my niggles. So i was thinking of doing less work. My training split would look like this. Tuesday or Wednesday Squat: warm up then 4 working sets (3 of which belted) Clean and Strict: Warm up then 5 working sets Deadlift: Warm up then 4 working sets Bench: Warm up then 4 working sets Rows: Warm up then 4 working sets Weighted Plank: Warm up then 4 working sets Cuffs and other bits and pieces for a short time Saturday: Events Do you think this would work? If you could work hard for long enough to get through it all with quality? Cheers | ||

normal people, like me. Member 2325, 550 posts | Can you really do that with any proper effort all in one session? Or would you perhaps be better off dividing it in two, doing squat+other and deadlift+other alternate weeks? Or even doing that over 2 days a week Don't forget that sometimes a change is as good as a rest, and perhaps you needed that for a brief period before you can step on it again. The once a week might not work long term in other words. | ||
