So 5thSet gurus-
USPA is planning a meet in Nebraska for mid-late March of 2021. I should be good with pressing by then, so I plan to compete. I’ll complete diet on 11:15, I’ll complete my 1st macrocycle around 12/25 (if I don’t fail out), which would give me 11-14 weeks of 5thSet going into the meet.
I’ve bent Sean’s ear about this, but I’m thinking even though I can squat 405 for 7, that doesn’t mean I can actualize a 490 pound squat. Would the 5th set peak still work for me, even though I haven’t actually squatted that weight? My thought is I’d need time under progressively heavier weights to actually get a feel for the 450+, over the course of a few weeks. I’ll re-read the peak section of Evolutions, but I don’t believe it addresses this concern.
Thoughts?
