I felt like mixing things up a bit. I can tell ive been jonesing to explore other rep ranges, methodologies, etc, but i get bored af 2 days in when i see the rigged progression i need to follow.
Ok...week 1 we do 8x3. Week 2 we try to add one more reppppppp. Gross. You mean i dont get to try this again for a week? What happens if i fail? That week is gonezo. How many weeks do i stick to this until i reach 3x8? Do i want to kill myself before or after reaching that goal?
The straw that broke rhe camels back was a top set of 140x2 banded ohp yesterday. Ya, that was fucking hard. Ya, i enjoy the bands (although i have no idea how heavy the top range of motion is). But the idea of that being it feels wrong.
Today we went more the route of matthew perryman (see: squat every day) than the wisconsin method. Instead of hitting a max all out single, i hit a difficult single with about 5 to 10 lbs left in the tank. Follow this by some backoff sets. Ez. Auto regulated, easy to follow, and i canswap out movements daily as needed.
The only things that arent changing are ring pullups. Those are great, and my back is looking sexy af despite the absence of heavy pulls.
