Just wanted your opinion on this. I’ve just read Beyond 5/3/1 and want start the 7 week cycle with FSL and Joker sets as apposed to the 4 week cycle with BBB im currently on.
Im about to completed my 8th cycle with good results. I can feel im getting close to maxing out pretty soon.
Im going to reset my numbers to 85% TM and start the 7 week cycles after my last de-load week on the 4 week cycle.
This this a good way to go about things or should I go till I stall on the 4 week cycle method?
Reset before you stall. Takes a couple years to not make “frowny face” and “pouty lips” after a bad workout (“THE FUCKING SKY IS FALLING - GOD HELP ME!”) - but you need to learn what lift/weights/speed need to be applied to each lift and adjust before you need to.
Just like the deload - you need to do it before you need it.
