Why the change?

We've only been going twice a week for the last few months or so, just the two alternating workouts instead of 1-2-1 one week then 2-1-2 every other.

Now we're getting back into thrice a week so just taking it slow as we're a bit out of conditioning - good excuse to hit some volume, focusing on good technique and high reps.

Leesh is also starting her cutting as of tomorrow so volume will help with this - though we may return to heavy weights with the repeated workout if the volume doesn't do much for us.

Just in time for bikini season.... hopefully you dont loose to much strength whilst cutting

Yeah I'm worried I will, but at the same time, I've reached my strength goals and I'm happy with what I've achieved. 60kg bench was always my ultimate goal and I'm beyond that now. I've gotten to the point where I'm strong but I don't look as good as I used to in a bikini, so it's time to drop some bf and hopefully expose my muscle that I've been working on for 2 years. I also want to look better than my sister and her bff who both do bodybuilding comps, when we go to Bali for Xmas

Oh ok. You will be back there soon enough

Yeah, I think my injury is always going to limit me in deads now...like my back is killing me today after last night, can't bend down to put my shoes on. I'm probably better just doing lighter weight on deads rather than trying get back to 120+

Fair enough.

Ive been having a read about injury prevention one thing that neil hill said and does is a smaller 3 week program that repeats itself. He has 1 week which he calls the heavy week 6-8 rep range.

He believes that because it is only 1 week it limits how much stress is put on the body and decreases chances of injury.

Few others claim that less weight and higher reps also decreases.

And a few drs just say heavy weights are bad for the joints soo yeah
