Dogballs Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Been switching my training around with 1 week heavy/low reps and the next week light/high reps (continued weekly). I wish I did this years ago! No aches and pains from old injuriesDramatic strength gainsPhysique looking more leaner Training heavy every day made me drop voltaren's every other day. Feeling good now (touch wood). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hindsight is 20/20... Where did you pick up this training technique from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogballs Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 People always say go heavy whilst dieting to maintain size and others recon burn the muscle with a lighter weight to stimulate growth, so I decided to alternate the two and get the best of both. I find that the muscle/joints heal up nicely on light week and when it's time for heavy week the lifts are much easier while having that little extra strength.

Pseudonym Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 It certainly makes sense from a muscle/joint recovery point of view. It'll be interesting to see whether every second week as a strength or size workout is enough to still make gains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogballs Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 It's been a month now, but time will tell. I will carry on for another three/four months and see what results I produce.The main thing is I feel hundreds in the gym right now without feeling the pain of those old injuries.
