On cycle, do you go heavy every week?

[stevesmi]

I stay in the 6-8 rep range.

on my last set of compound lifts I might hit 2-3 reps really heavy. but I mix it up bigtime.

405 is badass. I just hit that.... On my squat

nothing wrong with that bro. if its proper form I will take 405 squatting over 500 with bad form anyday

I go for progressive overload, no matter if on cycle or not. I do DC training, and the goal is to beat your previous numbers in the logbook every time you repeat a specific workout (every two weeks). To accomplish this you go to failure and either get Kore reps or increase weight. Once an exercise stalls out you swap it for another. Its only 3 days of lifting per week high intensity low volume which let's you give 100% effort without tearing your body up. Ive gained more mass and strength on that than anything

Agreed. Use micro loads each workout. 1/4 pound plates or 1/2 IB. Don't throw huge plates on too quickly thinking you are a rockin bad ass cuz you are juiced up and full of preworkout stims.

Common mistake. Use humility stacked with intelligence.

Great replies fellas. I think I'll do my 5x5 thing every other week and mix it up with some higher rep sets the other weeks
