Hiya All,
3rd thread now!
Right, I'm doing the transistion from heavy weight training (for rapid strength gains), to maintenance for the next 2/3 weeks (In the run up to my dance competition)
How should I adjust my weights rountine?
I've been pilling on the weight for the last 4 weeks - for strength gain. I'm strong enough now for what I need to do in the competition. I just need to keep this level up. No more big weight increases - with the risk of injury. (Shoulder sore from last session)
I'm currently at 4 reps (2 sets) on my heaviest weight - with good form etc.
How should I adjust my weights rountine?
a.
Just stay at this weight - and look to sqeeze out an extra rep for the next 2
weeks?
b.
Or reduce weights, and go for higher reps? (Say 7 reps - I still want the strength increases - forget muscle mass building for the moment)
Please advise
Martin
