All-out ‘To Failure’ training all the time is not the answer. Dr D’s writings have reflected this for some time now. Even people like Dante T of DC Training has had to reflect on these matters. I like cycling my work moreso than ever. Focus on periods of Progression — interspaced with or followed by — lighter regimes like 30-10-30 or just plain lighter weight/ higher reps, are the plan for me.
Short rests for a good pump and heart health are more important than ever.
Also, the Full Range of Motion mantra has to be tempered with caution for many of us. Certain ranges are just too risky with any appreciable weight (for example the very bottom portion of presses).
