Lance's method every day
« on: June 27, 2011, 10:08:39 am »

I was wondering if I use Lance's method every day... stopping when the rep I'm doing is significantly lower than the previous one, if it's too much or if it's OK.

I plan on using two sets and do this every day (morning):

Low volumes of snatch/clean (3x3)

Lance method, 2 sets with 45s rest in between them:

Squat + Overhead Press + Chinups (Monday - Wednesday - Friday)
Deadlift + Bench press + Pullups (Tuesday and Thursday)

Core work/stretch

It should not be too long of a workout and not too draining since I stop as soon as I rep slower/more difficult. Rep range will be 5-8.

I plan to do this in conjunction with Joel Smith's program, with Joel's Program happening in the evening.

isn't there strength work in that program?

mixing programs is a pretty good way to fail

Well it is, but there's no upperbody work. Remember, volume is going to be extremely low with the squats and deadlifts, just two sets stopping way before failure.

what would "way before failure" be?

It would be at the first sign of decreasing speed of the current rep vs the previous.

So if I do 5 "piston" reps and on the 6th my speed slows down (but it's not a grinder) I stop. This means I'm going to do sets of 6 (in this scenario) with a weight I can probably do around 8-10 reps if I grind it out.

got it, i train the same way except i would use 3 reps and just go to a 3 rm as you described above, not set out to do 3 or 5 sets but keep going until i reach the threshold

Yeah if you think about it, if you're doing your reps explosively then you're still recruiting the fast twitch fibers, even though the weight is lighter than the traditional say 5RM, and when your acceleration becomes worse that's a sign that they got tired so the other, slower fibers (motor neurons) get activated to suplinate, which is just a sign for you to stop.

as far as i know muscle fiber activation is always the same. doesn't matter how heavy the load, it'll always be slow first and then fast fibers.

i'm not so sure on that one...if you hope to cut then fine but of you're also hoping for the other 2 then you might end up dissapointed
