Guys,
On my second 8-week cycle now and I notice that for the first 2 sessions of a 2-week cycle I'm lifting lighter weights than the last 2 sessions of the previous cycle (even though the rep range has decreased).
For example, for squats during the 10's:
Session 5 = 2 x 10 for 210lbs
Session 6 = 2 x 10 for 220lbs
Squats during the 5's:
Session 1 = 3 x 5 for 180lbs
Session 2 = 3 x 5 for 195lbs
This is just the way it works out starting at 75% rep max for a cycle. Is it correct to be lifting lighter weights at the start of a 2-week cycle?
Cheers.
