I had a couple of questions that are interrelated about CNS fatigue and working to failure + TUT.
First, is there any way to really combat CNS fatigue and overtraining? I probably should explain why I am asking these questions. I am trying to put together a combination DC and HST routine (sort of HST but training closer to failure). DC indicates that you cannot train to failure every other day, so that plan promotes muscle group work every fourth day. If you, say, ate like an animal and rested constantly between bouts of exercise, could you combat this and train to failure every other day?
I am assuming that there really is no way around the overtraining mentioned above, so my second question is would it be beneficial to basically take a DC routine, except add in a smaller volume of each exercise done the previous workout, just to get stimilus every other day? For example
DAY1
Bench 14 x 180
other A exercises...
DAY3
Squat 15x250
Bench 7 x 180
other A exercises at 1/2 volume...
other B exercises...
My thought was, in addition to this, to half the rep speed for the halfed volume exercises, in essence making the TUT constant over the 2 workouts (for example, 2+ 4- seconds would become 4+ 8- seconds). Would that be very beneficial?
