Increased frequency/Varied intensities?
Been lifting for over 12 years.
Have tried everything (Heavy Duty, Super Slow, etc.)
Have had good results (405lb bench, 475 dl, etc.)
Past couple years have been stale...needed a change.
New routine (increase frequency from 1x per week to 3x per week...vary intensity by designating light/speed day, heavy/no failure day and a heavy/reach failure day).
Very unorthodox, but is working nicely, and I'm really enjoying each workout again.
Began this program after reasearching Fred Hatfield's writings on his website.
Example:
T Chest/Shoulders/Tris (Heavy weight/2-3 reps short of failure/low volume)
Th Chest/Shoulders/Tris (Heavy weight/go to failure, forced reps, low volume)
Sat Chest/Shoulders/Tris (Light/Speed/work with half of 10 rep max/5 reps/10 sets per/done very explosively/far from failure)
Anyone else ever try a similar approach. I realize it's very unorthodox. My weights on the heavy/to failure day are skyrocketing! Thoughts?
