I'm coming up my 7th time through my latest workout design, and since my reps have dropped down to 5-8 it's time to develop something new.
I always bring in a new routine with a rep range of at least 12-15, and even then not to failure. This gives my tendons and joints time to heal as I focus on strict form. After all, progressive overload means nothing if your form deviates. This translates to the fact that, if you start to recruit other muscles to perform an exercise as your weight goes up your target muscle can actually end up doing less weight. This leads secondary injuries and lagging body parts.
Like Rich Piana, the man we all used to love to hate (may he know peace in his next life), used to say, "Leave the ego at the door."
Keep the cycle designs and price list requests coming. We are open for business as usual....
