Hey, sorry, haven't been on here in a while. But, have no doubt I been training. I wasn't able to start squatting last week as my week started out AWFUL. Got into a little bit of a car wreck sunday on my way to the gym, which limited to go to the gym until tuesday(the same day school resumed) and then once I got a car to use again I was ran a pretty high fever for the rest of the week.
damn, that sucks..
But I started just thing monday. I did 5x10 routine and didn't quite have the energy for a 20 rep finisher after that. But, on wednesday I did session 2 5x5 with a little bit less than actually 80% on the bar as I used chains while I was squatting which was really difficult and made squatting feel different. I did the 20 rep finisher w/ chains and my legs felt like jello after the workout(which to me is actually a good feeling) really felt like I had completely fatigues my muscles. The next day I was sore, but after some foam rolling+static stretching I felt fine. I have a game this friday so I wont be squatting(obviously) on friday but plan to do session 3 on sat. or sun. with bands instead of chains. Which brings up the question, I was planning on rotating days with just the bar, with chains, and with bands. Sound good? Thanks for the help man, peace.
sick about the chains + 20 reps, and all the other stuff.. i would rotate chains/regular, i wouldn't add in bands right now.. too much confusion and bands are waaaaaaaaay more intense.. i mean if you're intent on doing it though, you could definitely rotate, just don't be surprised if your jumping turns to shit temporarily, stuff like that can just haywire your cns.. bands especially, chains much less so, regular even much less so..
i'd personally stick to just chains & regular OR just bands and regular.. creating TOO much confusion could be a problem.
if you insist on doing it though, will be interesting what kind of gains you get.. pretty hardcore cns stimulus.
peace man, glad you're alright!
