80% of max. I’m considering dropping the sets to 3 in the last 3 weeks of a cycle.[/quote]

and a cycle is 6 weeks? do you boost by a percent of max or just a standard 5/10/20 lbs each week?

forgive me I know I could just go look it up myself…[/quote]

I’m going 5 lbs per week on lower body 2.5 lbs on upper. Test maxes on 7th week and reset. You couldn’t look it up, I’m making it up. It’s based on Justa’s principles but I’m setting the weights myself.

so (ballpark) 1-2% of max increase each week and after 6 weeks you are doing approx 90% of previous max for 3-5 singles.[/quote]

Daily. That’s it. I don’t know if it’s going to work, but it’s fun to experiment.

daily - whoa! no wonder you are dropping it to 3 sets for the last 3 weeks. somewhere in the 3-4 week range you’ll be past your previous max!

That’s going to seriously tax your nervous system. But I’m sure you know that. Sort of like Smolov, which is 4x week.

Yup. Same idea. :slight_smile: Over-working to induce supercompensation.

Tried some squat cleans tonight and discovered I don’t absorb ballistic forces too well at the bottom of the movement. 165 almost buried me.
