Personally I preferred to separate the two.I have a question on the longer term effect of higher volume programs like the Giant.
So I did my first Giant session yesterday, I have decided to alternate my C&Ps with Rows as I find if I neglect the rows at the expense of more pressing, my shoulders hate me for it.
In session 1 week 1 I got 50 presses and 50 rows.
That's a significant amount of volume already and it's only going to go up from here.
My question is this......What are the longer term implications of this. Will I still see progress using a lower volume program in the future or is it a case of, once you ramp up the volume, assuming you continue training consistently you need to keep volume high.
I realise intensity needs to be factored into this discussion I'm just not sure of the interplay.
Any thoughts appreciated.
GTG TRX rows (little low back stress) or pull ups on off days.
Sometimes a few sets of the above after my giant workout but never during.
