@Kloi Essentially, you are doing a top set and two drop sets. I'd treat the top set as independent of the drop sets. If you feel ready to move up on the top set, do it and keep the drop sets the same until you feel ready to increase them.

Here's a question:

When do I progress the weight?

I swapped over to three sets with a rep scheme that looks like 80% 5+1/70% 8+1/60% 12+1.

In the past I've ran the inverse 12/8/6 with a static weight and if memory served I'd stall on 13 reps then 9 and wouldn't progress the weight until I could do 6 good reps on my last set.

I could progress the weights individually as I surpass my set reps for 1rm%.

I could stall the reps/weights until I complete all three.

I could run this for four weeks, retest my 1 reps makes and adjust the weight like that.

@Kloi

Nice, keep it up

It's always good when you're girl works out. It's basically a litmus test of laziness almost

Skipped the gym yesterday for some early live music on main street.

Got my girlfriend to swap out chest press machine for bench press tonight.

We're two weeks or about six work outs into the new routine and reps seem to be going back up where I was stalling and continuing where they already were despite being in a slight deficit last month (down 3lbs).

@SeasonedRP

That's awesome, continue, repeat, get jacked

@Vermillion-Rx Pause squats this morning. Did them for the first time two weeks ago and like them.

Get your asses to the gym

,At the end of the day, I feel better overall fasting

Then don't be surprised at your lack of progress. @bozza is right about glycogen and the stress you're putting your body through.

We have essential fats and essential proteins but our bodies don't necessarily need carbohydrates to function. There is no essential carb required for bodily function. They are simply a fuel source. Ketosis takes care of that for me.

This would be true if you were sedentary or just not training hard with specific goals.

Training, especially hard training, increases your body's need for carbohydrate.
