Christian, my final question for now as well as the above.
In regards to deadlifts i want to lift heavy once a week with this plan. Do you suggest i fit it in once a week, once every 2 weeks or none at all? It doesn’t seem to me going up as I’m training alot so maybe i should wait until after this program or deadlift once every few weeks. What do you think?
Just finished month two of your program and am absolutely loving it! Wow! thank-you for making such an awesome training plan freely available.
So many benefits to this kind of training. I’m breaking through plateaus, joints feel amazing, seriously looking forward too each session. Fixed-weight progressive overload is really the best way to keep getting stronger.
Down the track I would like to try and adapt this model towards increasing my squat 20 RM. Do you think that would be a good idea?
E.g if my current 20 RM squat is 120 kg. I could start the program at 75 % (90 kg) doing the 2 second eccentrics with explosive lift, then work through the month up too the concentric pauses before adding weight in the next cycle?
Would one 20 rep set on the squats 3 times a week be too much volume?
No worries if you don’t reply I’m going to try it anyway
