ok so i was going over what routine to use for bench press. and most routines go something like this
(weeks)
1. 3 x 10
2. 3 x 10
3. 3 x 8
4. 3 x 8
5. 3 x 5
6. 3 x 5
7. 2 x 2
8. 2 x 2
9. 1 x 2
10. 1 x 1
well i was doing 3 x 8 and then got tired of it and quickly went to doing max singles, and its working so far gone up 10 pounds ( to 260) no signs of over training but i know it will come soon if i keep this up. what if i just reversed this routine and went up
week 1 (270 x 1)
weeks 2,3,4
try to hit 235-250 for 2 x 2
weeks 4,5,6
225-250 3 x 5
7,8,9,10 3 x 8-10
and try to beat my old 8-10 rep max?
idk im tired and randomly thought of this is this too crazy, would it be over training? or what...
pretty much want to reverse the traditional going from high reps low weight to low reps high weight..
i wanna go from high weight low reps and work up too high reps and low weight.
