Part one of my goodbye to SS.
I think the various flavors of SS (Rank novice, advanced novice, etc) are pretty aggressive, more so than I can handle at the moment; I've certainly been trying to bump up the weights and make the lifts, but they're just not happening. So I think my best option is Texas Method, and to see where routine weekly advancement takes me.
A plan will come with my next post or perhaps edited into this one, depending on when I get around to reading the relevant bit of Practical Programming.

Strong lifting, but as Nate (and some others) once said to me at times: "What the fuck kind of deload is this?" =)
ReplyDeletewhen you deload, you actually want to deload, as in lift weights that are doable when you have a stomach bug and are missing a limb. You don't want to do near-max sets of 5.
Oh, and that sounds like a good plan. Stick with it for a while and see where it takes you.
