KG18, MjayM and I have been doing our DE days a little differently recently.
We do a normal 3 week progression like Westside recommends. Here we use blues and minis choked. After this we do two weeks of heavy band tension and lower weight. Here we use two blues, sometimes two blues and purples. A couple times we also through on a chain or two. Our speed drops some, but we are still pretty fast on these days. For the sixth week we go down to real low band tension, green band, and medium weight to work with more strainght weight out of the hole.
It has seemed to have been productive as all of our squats have gone up a lot. We all think working with heavy band tension helped a ton. I bet KG and MjayM will go 800 or more at thier next meet, and they are teenagers.
Although I'm not sure if the different squat cycle that helped or it was just the competition of training together again. Also it was real fun doing something a little different.
Just thought I'd share what has been working for us.
