My opinion is follow this regime for a max of five weeks then change it. I’d probably have an active rest week and then do a five week macro cycle using heavy basic compound exercises the another active rest week. Nothing worse than going stale bad for motivation and cell adaptation. I never stay with any routine longer than 5 weeks, although I normally incorporate pre exhaust somewhere – but for me that’s down to sore old joints and injury too.

Should just about put you on track for a leg session post my pre-contest prep
Out of interest I first got interested in pre exhaust reading about one of the American Natural pro’s whose sponsored by house of pain, I thought the idea of maximising stimulation without impeding auto immune recovery sounded a good principal, natural or not. Also I’ve never been a big fan of spending ages in the gym . Get in, get done, get out, get fed!

Cheers
