Yea , I almost passed out after that last set of squats . I had to go outside and get some fresh air. This is my last week of volume accumulation at 80% ,next week I jump to 85% and ramp the volume again.

Yeah I could definitely see that.

I really like this system, makes a lot of sense. So then do you go in three week blocks? Ex: 5x3x80%, 5x4x80%, 5x5x80%?

Yea it waves , basically a modified Hatfeild blended with sheiko . My buddy put the cycle together and had really good results with it so now it is my turn.
