What sort of training method are you following Traps (apart from just being a beast)?

Hey SamuelNZ...at the moment I am just trying to see what best suits me, I have done a bit of Sheiko but found it a bit too demanding on the body, especially after long days at work.

At the moment I am trying a combination of Wendlers and Auto Regulating. I am enjoying the mixture of main lifts and assist work. I also need to max out more often than a lot of the programs, it helps build my confidence.

Every person is unique and it takes a bit of hit and miss to find what works best for you, this is only my opinion.

10 x 1 with 1 chain

10 x 1 with 2 chains

10 x 1 with 3 chains

Real talk

[Traps]

feel strong...lift more

feel flat...lift some more and push harder

Problem I find with this method is I tend to open myself up to injuries. Because I am tired, my technique will suffer. When that happens I lift incorrectly and that is when injuries occur. :discussion:
