Completing week 11, failing iM - where to continue

Hello!

 

If I manage to complete week 11 on any given element with mastery, but struggle with the iM, I will not be able to proceed. Where will I then continue with the PEs? Should I continue doing the prescribed mastery sets, for example BHBH (FL/PE1) 5x60 sec, or should I do another cycle of week 9-12 and cycle through until I am satisfied with the iM ROM and form?

 

My guess would be to continue with mastery and use deloads every 4 weeks but I wanted to know what others think of this as well who got some experience, I am just starting on my first week

 

 

I believe Coach preferred to do the 9-12 weeks until the iM catches up.

gohei_ is correct.

For you guys that are doing weeks 9-12 over again, how many times a week are you doing it?  

Same schedule as before. I used to do F1/F2 on a 4 day split, Sat/Sun/T/W. So whatever element I needed to repeat a microcycle on, I would do so in my same schedule.

If the PE is super easy you can do week 11 always. With this there is always 5 IM sessions.

Erm, I don't think HBP/PE2 will  *ever* be super easy for me (not that I'm that far along yet~ just sayin').    I had it in my head that if a mobility element was a sticking point, that I'd stay in week 4 or 8 for the PE's, but you guys are saying better to stay in the later weeks.  It makes sense from a strength and endurance point of view.    <older beginner here>

PE's do not have to feel super easy to move on. As long as you keep good form, tempo, and prevent any shakiness then you can move on. When someone watches you, they should think you make it easy, even though you may feel some struggle on the inside.

If it is IM you struggle you can do later weeks in PE.

If you lack mobility in PE then you recycle the starting weeks.

Thank you all for clarifying this, cheers!

What is the problem you are having with the xiaopengs?
