    Just to change and to mix things up a bit. Isn’t it always said it’s good to ‘shock’ the muscles and do something different.

    Have I tested what?

    That's broscience that you need to shock the muscles. You're changing the stimulus every week because the reps range changes as does intensity.

    Tested your maxes.

    Ah ok. Wasn’t even aware. So after each six week cycle, you are to re test your 1 rep max for deadlift, squat and bench?

    You don't have to. Just wondered. You would after 12 weeks cos the max you started with is probably not going to be your max after 12 weeks.

    Hi,

    On week 6 the story for main lift is 95% 5 x 2

    lets say on week 6 you just about manage to do 5 x 2 and no more on the last set of bench press

    Does this mean on next 6 week cycle, you stay at the same weight again? Because you didn't manage to do 3,4,5 etc reps on last set

    Can do. No need to increase for the sake of it.

    Noted. But ideally you should be doing more reps on that very last set, I presume.

    If they're there, they're there. It's to allow you to take advantage of the day they are there. But after 4 doubles at 95%, it's not a lack of progress that you don't get more.

    It's all just groundwork for building a new max.
