split training

DONGLE · 23-12-2005, 10:33 PM

I am thinking of changing my training as i work every body part once a week i am seriously considering 1 week of high reps low weight, and one week of heavy weight low reps .that way i might get the best of both worlds, Any comments or suggestions are very welcome :?

I found this method particularly good when cutting.
I used 6-8 reps one week and 20-25 the next. I also supersetted almost all of my training. Help keep strength too, while adding some decent cuts

1 week i will do 3 x 10 next week i will see what my 1 rep max is, so in a short story its worth doing and effective.

You can also cycle it over weeks say,4 weeks all out heavy training, then one week lighter with more reps, and then go again.
this gives you chance to grow and recover stops you gettin over trained

yep another good point by fat boy, something my training partner and i are currently planning after christmas.
We have been doing mainly 1 rep max's in all core exercises lately, so come the new year we will be toning it down a little, and going light for a while before trying another major bulking session to take me through summer.
