Do you always train heavy or go light/heavy weeks???

[doubles1]

This is my question to fellaz off cycles at least...cuz i konw when Im on i train balls to the wall heavy...

however im off for the next 4 months and it seems as though im in the saem strength areas....i was thinking of training heavy 3 out of 4 weeks in the month...

like this..

week1 -heavy 6-12 rep sets
week2 -heavy
week3 -light 12-20 rep sets
week4 -heavy

what do you all do...currently i train heavy every week...i kinda wanna give this a shot but dont want my body to get flat and weak as a result of this...


lets get some input...

Off cycle, 2 weeks 75-85% 1RM, 1 week 50% 1RM w/ super high intensity.

I train 1 heavy day and one light each week...My heavy day work is always between 85-100% of max
I train probably about 4 weeks before I have to take a week off.
I am all natty.... Stats in the profile.....

Come down to the training board sometime, lots of helpful people down there....

I always go as heavy as I can with strict for for 5-8 on upper body and 8-12 on lower body for all my mass building exercises.

I train heavy all the time. It is probably wrong but every time I train light, I loose strength.

i do the 2 or sometimes 3 wks heavy on a high cal diet and 1wk light (maintainence) on a moderate cal diet. it has worked better for me than heavy week in and week out. i think it ensures high concentration and prevents the body from getting jaded.

I used to train heavy all the time and got no gains in strength (after a few years of this that is) or size and started to get injuries, then I backed off by training heavy 1 rotation (3 on 1 off) and light the next. It works wonders gives me rest and I've gained size and strength since. The injuries are much fewer and I really look forward to the heavy days. I wish I started this years ago, but I haven't used any AAS (yet) which would completly change my routinue.
