Intensity with Neurotype / Training Hard & Recovery

Training
1

Hi ct, couple questions if you dont mind.

  1. Should intensity be lowered the further to the right you go on the neurotype spectrum, specifically perceived effort. - i.e extended set techniques maybe arent right for a 2b/3 ? They would do better on slighlty higher volume, close but never to failure?

  2. I like to train very hard, I have to feel like ive pushed mentally. If reaching muscular/neural failure on movements in the normal (6-12) rep range) burns me out somtimes, would a better approach be to reach ‘failure’ through lactic acid accumulation

  • long carries, 40+ second sets, holds, drop sets etc- this way I can push myself but the actual failure isnt muscle damage its just the build up of lactic acid? This is kind of refering to your hardgainer article.

I like doing a push pull legs split but im not quite sure how to set up the workouts. I was thinking to moderate volume and intensity to have two workouts for each bodypart - workout A being a yates style HIT and workout B being a growth factor type session.

Thanks CT

2Bs should decrease neurological work, this is what stresses them the most. They do very well with extended sets.

3s can do extended sets, but only when they are advanced and only for 1 set per exercise.
