So, I'm still consistently plugging away at s & s and have been a little frustrated with my TGU progress. One thing that I noted is that Pavel says that you should work towards a 1:1 work:rest ratio to get down to 10 minutes on test day, but I noticed on my stop watch that each rep has been taking me 45-60 sec. One upshot of this is that I am pretty sure that I'm in the glycollytic zone. Today I tried to do 30 sec reps and, frankly, with less time under tension, it was much less fatiguing. On the other hand, the movement felt a bit rushed and I didn't feel like I could focus on where I was leaking tension, my alignment, etc
So, do I...
(1) Try to speed up my reps in order to meet the standard
(2) Keep doing what I'm doing and see whether the reps naturally get shorter. (I'm a little skeptical about this because I kind of like doing them slowly.)
(3) Wave the intensity by doing reps st a variety of speeds to provide a variable stimulus.
