Going to complete failure!

[Older lifter]

I am only talking from what i have tried ok,
While on cycle i worked a 1 day on 1 day off program where each set was taken to failure with the weight going down a bit on each set to maintain the rep range. It worked very well but at the end of the cycle i did feel the body needed a break from that type of lifting, and once again moved to failing only on the last set..

For my next cycle i plan the same type of workout thou.......

Oh just to add, i felt that the 1 on 1 off was needed for recovery as the lifting was very intensive and heavy, but age might come into it a bit,, i'm 44

That sounds good. I am doing that right now actually what you described. Did you make good gains on your cycle doing this? how was your diet?

Yeah my gains were good, i used a bulking diet, good meals with what's needed every 2-2.5 hours.

I am going to do it again next time as well.

Good luck man, but monitor how your body responds, everyone is different
