Hello everyone,
I hop on this thread as I’ve just finished a cycle of 3.0 with 2x24kg. I have been doing Strong Phase 1 and a cycle of DFW before starting 3.0 and got good results but never quite managed to get my RM above 5-6 (Still, at the beginning of strong I was push pressing the bells and could not even strict press them once)
I really focused on clean technique during this cycle and I managed to get some nice volume (more than 50 reps/sessions without psyching)
I tested my RM today and got a clean 8.
I could feel the cumulative fatigue from the cleans during the RM test which makes the drill totally different when I pass the 5 reps mark.
I really can’t wait to challenge myself with 1.0 and I know some of you already started it with just an 8RM.
But I thought I might take two additional weeks with say for Medium, Heavy, Light day
3,4,2 reps
4,5,3 reps
Just to ease in a little bit more towards those longer sets.
I felt almost capable of hitting a 9th rep and I really want to stay as clean as possible for 1.0.
Also, I’ve been eating for fat loss for all these cycles and I think it’s time I add some calories if I want to sustain progress from that point. Any thoughts are welcome
