So heres what I do now for my 531.
Mon. Military Press
Tues. Deadlift
Wed. Off
Thurs. Bench
Fri. Squat
As you may know, 531 involves repping out till near failure on the last set of each compound.
What I want to change my schedule to its this.
Mon. Deadlift
Tues. Military Press
Wed. Off
Thurs. Squat
Fri. Bench
All I would so is switch my Bench with my squat day. Heres the question
Going balls out on a squat set takes alot out of you and makes you sore for at least a couple of days later. If I do a squat day before my bench, even though its two different muscle groups, will it hurt my bench on Friday because of cortisol levels and a CNS drop off?
I know this sounds like a dumb question, but I don't want my bench to suffer because I squated the day before.
What about if I did my bench after my deadlift day. Monday-deadlift, Tuesday-Bench day. The reason I am being so picky is because I can grind through leg days no problem even if I'm sore, but on upperbody days I need to be ina pretty decent condition to perform.
