It's an age old question, but would be intresting to know what people think here  How often should you max out????? | |||
| » Cycle length (Go to post) | 14-11-2006 @ 14:27 | ||
| Why does 6 weeks seem optimum? Im thinking of working on shorter cycles for the bench (after I have completed this one), eg 3 weeks then a back off before starting another which will essentially see me lifting really heavy 1 week in four. Im not planning to max out until after probably 12 weeks (unless some amazing happens to benching ability in the meantime) it would look something like this week 1-3 = 5x5 (with 32./35/37.5) week 4 easy week 5-7 = 5x3 (with 37.5/38.5/40) week 8 easy week 9-11 = 5x2 (with 40/41/42.5) week 12 rest week 13 max out Weeks 3, 7 and 11 will be really f**king hard, but doable (hopefully). Comments? Questions? | |||

| I'm thinking I may know which scene!! I thought it was much funnier than I was expecting. Even their mode of transport made me chuckle everytime it came on screen. The scene in the rodeo was somewhat disturbing though. | |||

| Wednesday morning - really hard Thai Boxing private. He really put me through the mill on this one. But the guy was pleased my kicks were getting harder and harder as the session went on, despite the fact I was clearly knackard. 1 hour of some of the hardest training I have ever done! Get to spar next week Had a session in the gym in Lisburn today. Was ok, I was feeling pretty crap after eating totally s**te for two days, but managed a small PB so can't complain. Hitting depth easily now, my 40's are like 2 inches below. Hamstring tweaking a bit - my left side failed on the 70kg which is unusual for me (its usually my right side) guess the hamstring was worse than it felt. I'm getting a bit demotivated by powerlifting at the moment, im seriously thinking about lifting more for endurance for thai boxing. Guess I know im never going to be a great powerlifter, so i'm rapidly loosing my focus. Squats - warmups then 40 kg 3, 3 real deep 50 kg 1 55 kg 1 60 kg 1 (real easy, it flew up) 70 kg - F I was all set but then had to rerack the bar and couldnt get my head straight after that. I think it timed perfectly with a severe sugar crash 65 kg - 1 PB 70 kg - Fail - left side noticably weak Some deadlifting, but my head just wasn't in it. 100 kg flew, but then i just couldn't focus. | |||

Originally posted by Olly... How about things that are done light like pull aparts (with bands), face pulls and rear delt flies, these are the kind of things that promote good shoulder posture but are very easy to recover from as you are never going that heavy. They sre also a lot less lat dependent. And I hadnt realised that it was your lats causing your back problems, I thought it was a lower back issue rather than a mid/upper back problem. Did some rear delt flys tonight (on the machine though, not with dumbells, I can never get the technique right). Pull aparts would be a good idea (i'll sort some bands). I have no idea what face pulls are though! Yeah, the back thing is complicated - but it has been improving recently (maybe because i have cut down the lat work???) | |||

Lat work most definately does affect my deadlifting, and most of my back pain seems to be associated with spasming lats (according to the back woman that i went to see). It gets much worse if i dont give them adequate recovery time. Additionally, I get alot of forarm pain if I pull too much. I do agree that I would be better off if i could pull more often, but I just dont know how to get to do it without injury problems  | |||

| Monday - rest Tuesday morning Decided to train early because off on holiday tommorow so knew this evening i would be running round panicking trying to pack. Mornings are not my thing anymore! Everything felt heavy, like my body was on go slow! Ah well, it wasn't a totally wasted workout, still churned out some sets and did some pretty damn good CV (one thing i am good at in the morning).Warmup 10 min CV (121 cals in 10 mins) Boards - warmup then 40 kg: 5 45 kg: 3x3 Close grip 32.5 kg: 3x3 Shoulders CV on cross trainer - 306 cals in 20 mins (cals seem to be a useful guide to how hard i work, rather than an accurate measurement). Wooh thats pretty good for me. | |||

| Usually only 1 full session a week. Anymore than that and I get problems with my back because I can't get enough recovery from deadlifting. Thats usually widegrip pulls, rows of some sort and chins. | |||
