Why do I get an increase when I lower the dose? I suspect it's because you are deloading (doing fewer work sets and your CNS is recovering better). Also, you may be over-training during your reloads! What's your reload training program look like? Thanks man.
I've mainly been following the Westside template for the bench. 2 bench workouts a week - 1 speed day and 1 max effort day. I was feeling a little overtrained the last few weeks and spaced the workouts about 4-5 days apart rather than the 2 a week. I wasn't running a huge blast just 800 mg test c a week. I wasn't doing any deadlifts and only 1 leg workout a week. 1 or 2 back workouts depending on my work schedule. I am 51 years old so you're probably right on the overtraining. Got any suggestions? I primarily specialize on the bench due to my work schedule and want to do a couple of meets next year. Thanks a bunch Ronnie. Why don't you post your whole training program during reloads and let me take a look. I can tell you that 2 heavy sets on speed day for bench press once a week is all you need at your age. On the endurance phase for your second chest workout of the week you would want to focus on a different hest exercise and do 3-4 sets. Once you hit failure it's time to stop that workout!
