When you say “moderately high volume” and “high frequency”, what exactly do you mean?
Something like 5x10, 3x a week?
For the goals of lat size/training like a BBer. Well, lats and lower traps and, you know what I mean.[/quote]
Yeah, that would work. I was doing 5x8-10 twice a week and 2 lighter days of like 3x10-12 or something like that. Don’t remember the exact scheme I was using back in the fall, but with that kind of high frequency you have to be smart and listen to your body. There were some stretches where I had 3 moderate intensity and 1 light intensity days. At other times, I would feel my recovery being affected and do nothing but light days.
Right now I’m following a pretty standard BB split I made, so back has its own day once a week and I just go hard on that body part. Seems to work too, though my lats saw the fastest progress with the high frequency approach.
