Just wanted to say.
I think I have wasted a lot of time not knowing how to move forward when stuck on elements.
It has pretty much been like this. Week 1, below max effort. Week 2, around max effort, sometimes below sometimes above. Week 3 above max effort, failing one or two sets. Week 4, deload.
So with the new "system" I get to train at the right level 3 weeks (actually 4 since deload is also the right level) out of 4 instead of just 1 or 2.
Of course I could have trained like this before, I just didn't realize it. Much clearer and easier to program now when you fail to move forward on an element.
Thanks!
