What is your max you think? Cause 133kg in 10 sets of 5 is pretty crazy.

lol. can we revisit this in about a month's time? im just getting started in the tail end of this high volume program. no point getting distracted by 1rms right now. Volume will build up my strength and i can worry about testing once ive build enough to give myself a reason to test a max. It wouldn't be very illuminating to test now and it would ruin my program for the other stuff im supposed to do on that training day.

yeah exactly about the form .. sure some manual override cues can really help, but in general, the body wants to make things the easiest/more efficient possible for itself. I personally like the natural adjustments the nervous system makes in these situations.

would you like to conjecture what sort of things this approach can work well with?

Yes of course, i didn't know you are in an intense volume phase and didn't have a good idea of your max yet, should not be thinking about that as it can be a distraction right now.

I think I'm going to try a 10 set of 4 - 6 at really heavy weight some time to see how that works out.

I know that 3 or 4 x 8-10 rep at heavy weight is grueling. Especially the 1st and last sets..... last sets i start to shake on like the 2nd rep from body stress.....

dont do it heavy straight away. start light and and build up over it slowly over time. i began around 105kg and added 2.5kg every week for a few months. the first couple of weeks were brutal, like i couldn't sleep my body was really overwhelmed by the stress. now it's adapted and deals well with it but be careful. you dont wanna get injured.
my abs are torched from yesterdays ~40 chinups. i knew that would happen but im hoping i'll be recovered in time for heavy day tmr? yea lets see.

rest sessions need more thumbs up!! :ninja: :ninja:

i like seeing when people on here post "rest", instead of just letting it slip by.. obviously there's not much to post, but it's also kind of a good message to yourself, that resting is significant and important. I've been saying alot recently that "it's harder to rest than it is to train", which is the damn truth. It takes discipline to shut everything off for a day, recover, and come back stronger the next.. resting is harder than 1RM attempts :D

the sports "psychology" of it, is becoming more important to me.

Saw a physiotherapist about my right knee and she gave me the all clear. Said i just need to do foam rolling and stretching and there was nothing wrong with it structurally. phew. Said my right leg was/looked/seemed very tight in comparison to the left.

adapted. :ninja:

the stuff you're doing reminds me of how I adapted to high volume squatting .. the adaptations were just insane, ie no DOMS after heavy 20's several days in a row, and jumping great the next day. FWIW, I like the more sane frequency you're on - my high freq + high volume + heavy squatting stuff was a bit psycho, but the adaptations were mindblowing nonetheless.
