Well sounds like a good plan to me. Except I'm not sure if you plan to increase the weight right away with the new lower volume. What I would do is hold the old weights over the first time to get some additional rest and then increase next time. Probably this is what you planned but just mentioning it in case.

Good luck.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

I didn't think about it, but it makes sense

I thought the mere act of lowering volume day to 3 sets of 5 reps is so drastic it won't be needed, but hey - why take risks?

29/10/07 - volume day:

box squat:
80kg x 3 sets x 5 reps <-technique wasn't great because these are hard for me at the moment.

bench:
69.5kg: 5 reps, 4 reps <-The second set was so hard I stopped immediatly after it was done. couldn't complete 5 reps. I believe this is an evidence of how much fatigue I'm carrying with me.

row: 53 kg x 3 sets x 5 reps <-not that hard

overll impression: the workout was HARD even though I'm doing 3 sets and not 5. I hope I feel better by friday, and much better by next monday. reminder: I'm going to continue with 3 sets of 5 on monday (volume day), increase the weight as much as I can (2 kg's@ box squat, 1kg@ bench each week), and then when I stall add another set of 5.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND ME.

2/11/07 - intensity day

squat: 97kg x 5 reps!! hell I'm amazed, lowering sunday's volume DID help and I was thinking about anavar or turinabol, btw, but I haven't really did something about it, so don't think it has anything to do with it.

bench: still 75.5kg x 3, but hey, bench stalls earlier and it takes more time to add poundages with it.

chin-ups: 7,7,7

have a nice weekend!
