going more heavy overnight?

[Hjaoswi]

I’ve been currently doing a moderate amount of weight training probably between 40 to 60% of my Max and I’m sticking to the 8 to 10 rep range.
I’m looking to start increasing the weight and going heavier and doing less repetitions maybe down to 4 or 5 reps. I’m looking to push maybe 75 to 80% of my Max or even higher.
Has anyone tried this type of change overnight or is it something I have to gradually move to

the body is capable of a lot it's just a matter of are you overtraining if you were to do something like that
overtraining is not necessary and counterproductive because you'll just end up injured

you can overtrain easy
i would try slowly to get weight up

Increases like that are good in moderation. Maybe for your last set or two of an exercise but I wouldn't do it all the time. It's will put you out of the hypertrophy range and instead of 8 to 10 reps you might be at 4 to 6. So only do those at the end of a an exercise in my opinion

 

[JasonPriest]

I wouldn't say you want to increase that quickly

 

[BodyMonster34]

Bro why not you only live once

 

[QuadSweep]

it depends on your prior conditioning and muscle memory

 

[Austin316]

you'll probably be a little sore the first couple weeks

 

[sambee38]

some training programs are similar to this

 

[BookerTNY]

if you're an older person I would slowly ease into it

 

[Arabian]

you'll probably be able to get away with it it sounds like you have a lot of experience

 

[Mobster]

Yes and yes.

 

[Zyglamail]

I've done some heavy changes overnight myself and it's worked out fine

 

[Shrine]

you can always try it and if things don't go your way you can change course

 

[caligirl85]

I definitely like the question there's a lot of potential in rapidly changing your program

 

[zedhed]

worst case you end up injured but best case your body adjusts quickly

 

[Masonic Bodybuilder]

I recommend making gradual changes to let the body adjust.

 

[RoySimpson]

No need to rush in!

 

[ballin2504]

Just do it slowly

No need to go too fast.....can cause injury.......
