My previous HST cycle, I was coming off some shoulder pain, so I decided to add a round of 20s before the 15s.
Did my 20s/15s/10s/5s and felt good. Every last workout of the cycle (the 6th workout) I hit the target number of reps in the first set, and the second set I was very close to hitting the target number.
Now (this is an example ONLY) this was my lift for 15s (over the 6 workouts)
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 (so you see I progressed every workout)
Now when I started my current cycle, I decided to start with the 15s (no 20s this time) and since I felt strong last time, I decided to use increase the weights.
So this time it was:
20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70
So as you can see, the weights for workout 1-5 are the same, but my 6th workout would be a new "high"
But for some reason, starting with workout 1, I was already struggling with the weights.
I managed to do workout 2, 3 and 4 before I had to go on a trip and decided to stop for 10 days and start over.
But workout 2-4 were very tough, I didnt even manage to get 15 on some of the exercises.
Why would that be the case?
The previous cycle, I was able to (as you see by my example) do the same weight, with not a lot of problems.
Could it have to do with the fact that I did a cycle of 20?
So when I got to the 15s my body was "warmed" up and in the groove?
So next week when I start my 15s again, I guess I will go back to the original weights instead of the ones I just tried.
Thanks
