The Bench press is performed according to Chad Waterbury’s principles and the pullups are performed with bodyweight using the bear principle. also on off days, i do 100 pushups and a reverse ladder (54321) for pullups for recovery.
Now, my question is, what kind of a backoff week (week 4) should i employ??
my shoulders/delts are quite taxed…
I’m 18 by the way, just came back from a couple of months layoff because of a leg injury
should i perhaps cut the sets in half, or cut the weight?? any comments would be appreciated.
