Probably because I have a stubborn girlfriend that keeps me up all night, thats probably the biggest reason, lol. But anyway I don't know just school and work and trying to deal with a demanding girlfriend. ![]() Triple Threat Hah, and I always feel like my deadlift strength is going down the tubes, too. In the past I've hit 5 sets of 5 with 455, but oh well. My strength at 206-209 lbs. is nowhere near what it was at 224-227 lbs. Small Bunny You're the reason I don't get any sleep, duh. ![]() |

Rotating Volume
I've decided that I'm going to try something new with my Baby Got Back program. Its a solid program the way that it is now, but I think with a slight modification it might be a bit more effective. I'm the type of guy that responds well to volume, more so than intensity. I've done low-volume high intensity programs in the past and for whatever reason they have never done much for me. Right now I'm doing roughly ~20 sets per workout, give or take. And my workouts are taking around 30-45 minutes usually. I've decided that I'm going to start rotating my volume. This next week I'm going to bump it up to around ~25 sets per workout this next cycle, and then ~30 sets the next cycle, etc. I'm probably going to work all the way up to around ~40 sets if I can manage that under 60 minutes. I'll be doing 10x10, 8x8, 5x5, 4x6, 3x8, 3x10, 2x12, etc. Pretty much every volume loading technique that I can think of. After I keep increasing the volume I'll drop it back down to ~20 sets per workout. As long as I am training shy of failure I'm sure that I'll be fine in terms of overtraining. But I'll be tracking my progress here in my journal. Last edited by M.J.H. : 09-13-2006 at 02:25 PM. |

I must say Mike, you've been awesome sticking with this

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Thanks man, appreciate it. I absolutely love Baby Got Back so its not like I'm going to stray from the program. I just need to change things up a bit to keep it interesting. And I think doing wave style volume loading should do the trick. |
