Amazing squat man!! 220 next time for sure!! film it!!
awesome squats mate!
cant wait to hear what kind of routine u decide to do. looks as if the fullbody sessions have done the job of upping ur strenght after the layoff though. but i guess squatting 3 times a week takes its toll on the CNS.
how about trying something totally new? doggcrap, advanced german volume training or an upper/ lower split.
from a personal standpoint id reccomend either 5/3/1(did u do this at some point?) or an upper/lower routine. i was on an upper/lower routine for months before 5/3/1 and although i burned out because of no deloading it did a great job with bringing up my lifts the first 2 months i utilized it.
anyways, keep us updated from time to time lance
Thanks for the advice my iron brother!
Yeh your right, the FB sessions really have helped bring my strength back up. My training was going pretty bad before this and my strength wasn't going anywhere. I put it down to that i was chronically overtrained from years of never changing programs/rep schemes/sets etc. So thats why i did it to help bring back my strength and it certainly has worked and oh ive also got out of doing only 1 set But tbh i dont think it has took it out of my CNS. I think because ive been following a strength related program wherby i never went to failure and just used the routine to spice up my neurons etc rather than hypertrophy training whereby going to or close to failure, short rest periods etc. The only problem was my back (spine) was hurting me from squatting 3 times per week but i never wore a belt and ive decided i might throw it back in there now.
I was actually thinking about doing german volume training but havent really decicded same with the upper/lower too. And yes i did do 5/3/1 for about 3 months but i didnt really like it, i think i started wayyyy too light and i hated the deloads every 3 weeks. I think the deload is too frequent.
At the moment im thinking of just doing simple periodization wherby i follow hypertrophy phase training for say 6-8 weeks, then a 1 week of deload and then into a strength phase for say 4-6 weeks and 1 week deload. I need to read more about this though.
Thanks for your words of advice Joamkin I'll still be updating my training until i decide what im going to opt for.
What sort of loading are you going to use?
