Hi folks, another probably "will be different for everybody"-question...
I've recorded my maxes and my rm's are very close to each other (which will be dealt with after the first hst cycle, will ask on that later, so prepare
)...
so I can hardly increase the weights...for example doing dumbell presses for shoulders...
10RM is 2x22kg, 5 RM is 2x26kg... With the weights only going 22-24-26, I can hardly differentiate...
so what would be preferred? to repeat as in
22-22-24-24-26-26 (meaning I would repeat 22kg for 3 succesive weeks, since last week of the 10's was also that weight)
OR
zigzagging and going
20 22 24 24 26 26 increasing the spread but dropping the weight the first workout...
Keep in mind that during the last week of the 10s I would do 1 set, and during the first week of the 5s I'd be doing 3sets (read: aiming at 15 reps) and the second week 2 sets (read: aiming at 10 reps).
Thank you for answering another question of mine...

PS: the db presses were just an example, 10 RM is with every exercise between 78% and 92%(!
of 15RM
