But there really is a ramp up. Here's the schedule--2 lifts a day:<BR/>M-Th: Snatch, B.Squat<BR/>T-F: Clean, RDL<BR/>W-S: Jerk, Sn.Pull<BR/><BR/>The volume is kept relatively low--no more than 24 reps on the lifts themselves and no more than 30 reps on the assistance work. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday was the only day I felt even slightly tired after a workout. Plus, with the exception of Wednesday nights, I'm getting 8+ hours of sleep a night--something I haven't done while training in almost 10 years. It used to be 3-6 hours a night.<BR/><BR/>So, for me, Rif, this is considered "wading" into the pool. My only gaffe was not stopping at 140kg on the squat yesterday.<BR/><BR/>All that being said, I NEED guys like you keeping me in check, so don't think for one minute that I discount ANY of your thoughts/statements/questions. Thanks for your help. I still remember the quote you gave me when I trained with you last Christmas: "Glory is temporary, pain is forever." That's how I train now.Geoff Neuperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429352189298183355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24102082.post-1163122419357501422006-11-09T20:33:00.000-05:002006-11-09T20:33:00.000-05:00glad you survived dude but don't you think coming ...glad you survived dude but don't you think coming back to the lifts and then doing six days in a row is a bit of a "into the deep end of the pool" approach?<BR/><BR/>why no ramp up?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
