Hi,
I am currently doing the simple and sinister program.
Up until recently I followed the standard way of progressing. That is I jumped for 24 to 32 in terms of the swing, which meant I was doing 32 kilos 8*10 and 2*10 24 kilo. (1-hand swing). The breaks between sets were often between 2-3 minutes.
The "problem" with this was that I felt quite tired after each session. I think this was due to the fact that I did ten reps. I noticed that the first 7-8 reps went fine, but then the 2-3 last reps the acid starting creeping up on me, and I felt less powerful. After reading about this on the forum I experimented with another rep range. I did 32 kilo 8*8 and 24 kilo 2*10. This was a completely different experience. I never felt tired. I took shorter breaks and still felt rested before the next set. Based on this I thought about continuing with this and progressing gradually by increasing the load by doing more and more sets with 9 reps, and then more and more sets with ten reps.
What do you think about progressing like this ?
