when I trained high volume on the squat, bench and deadlift I actually never got much transfer to my one rep max. Plus, my technique at 90+ 1RM weights always suffered because of it.
Doing this lower frequency, high intensity approach seems to be keeping things moving along.
It also helps to a degree that tren allows me to just chuck weights on the bar every session if I am feeling it.
I see natties doing all this 10x10 squat shit, and yes, while you may improve your work capacity and ability to compete in the CrossFit games, I really dont think its helping your max strength
Ever try 10-15 rep deadlifts for 3-5 sets (touch and go)⦠hgnfjdkgnkdjslafjildsafjkadsfbkjlasdbfjn
thatās simple⦠it doesnāt as a natural many have noticed decreased maximal strength after completing GVT routines, however it does appear to work wonders for hypertrophy if caloric intake is adequate (better for enhanced trainees though, the cortisol mediated response from such high stress activity would drop oneās hormonal status to abysmal levels for a while post training), even TRT would counteract this. I did this as a natty because I like to punish myself for for existing (jokes)⦠aside from super sore legs, it didnāt do much for me
I donāt train for strength, couldnāt care less about how much I could lift and therefore I donāt know my 1RMās, I know my previous 1RMās as I test them perhaps 1-2x yearly
But even then, if your enhanced, I think you can get away with high intensity for longer periods of time so long as your frequency accommodates.
The only thing at the moment that limits the amount of weight I can chuck on the bar is whether or not my elbows are crying or not. If my elbows are good during the session, I can make some great jumps.
I do low bar squats, and if I am making leaps and bounds, my elbows eventually get slaughtered and I have to back down a little.
certainly, the cortisol spike induced from exercise is blunted, CNS stimulation, decreased amino acid breakdown, faster recovery times in general etc all equate to being able to train harder, faster, longer etc. Remember however tendons take longer to condition compared to skeletal muscle, thus if you jump weight too quickly you risk injury, try to take it slow, donāt let ego control you.
Sorry I was replying to you and your mild cycle not the OP. I wasnāt clear and typing on an iPad is painful so I tend to be short in my posts. OP cycle not mild. Starting doses of OP about avg less running Anadrol though IMO. Once he ramped up thatās getting aggressive.
