Todays training consisted of back and biceps, using both compound exercises and isolation. At the moment I have been much stricter on my form, rest periods and weight selected. During this period of training I am combining max strength with hypertrophy, unfortunately I am training on my own so I dont have the luxury of a spotter, but it has allowed me to focus on maintaining correct technique and pushing my body to the limit.
In previous programs and exercises I have been more specific to my sport, but instead of using momentum if near the end of the rep and forgetting about form, I am much more conscious about a smooth and controlled movement.
The programs consist of a superset exercises that will allow me to take each muscle to near failure. A rule of thumb is that if you are still lifted the weight easily at the end of the set it is too light. If your rep range is to 12 you need to be hitting failure around the 10th/11th rep.
Tomorrow is the last day of the week, before a rest on Sunday. I will be hitting legs in a high rep range as well as some HITT.
Remember: Dont train to failure, train to succeed.
