I have long rests in between sets, anything from 5-7 mins. Sometimes my workouts can go on for hours. At the moment there are five of us training together, so it can take ages unloading and reloading the bar, as we are all at different strength levels. Between wrapping knee's and putting my squat suit on, you can forget squeezing everything in to a 45min - 1 hour workout.
Everyworkout is different, sometimes I will drop the assistance work and just squat or box squat, then throw in some abdominal work. I alternate between the two, one week box squat pb for a single, double, 3 or 5 reps, then the following week the same on the regular squat.
I chop and change my workouts, one week I train lots of volume, then other weeks Il just keep everything simple and drop the number of sets from 9-10 down to 4 sets. I enjoy training high volume, it depends how far out from a meet I am. I usualy drop assistance workout out 4 weeks before a comp. |
