i had been doing them as mon-bench wed-squat fri-deads and decided to swich it up after 3 weeks of the same thing and switched it to mon-squats wed-deads and fri-bench
by the way waht u meen intellegiently you trying to call me dumb ive been lifting for a long time an this is the first injury ive come to if you want to call it that
stalloneIs#1toMe:
Wasn't calling you dumb at all bud. Not directly to
you but just logically stating generally you need to work your way to low reps that's what I meant when I said intellegiently. For an example I'm just worried some 8-10 rep pumper will jump off to anywere below 5 reps.
Usually I'd suggests about 6 months of training something like3x8 for 6 months then 5x5 or 4x6 for another 6 months then move on to something like 3x3 for another 6 months and from there you can max out if you wanted to.
I asks how long have you been training for low reps.
Another thing is who's telling you to add 10-20 pounds. That's to much of a jump. You'll quickly plateau that way and possibly leading to an injury. You need to ease into weights and build momentum as the poundages get heavier and heaver.
Also I wouldn't suggests doing squats or deads or vice versa after 24-48 hrs with low reps. Just isn't time for your lower back and legs to fully recover or be fresh before you hit one of the 2.
So that your posterior chain has a chance to recover I would suggests mon squat, wed bench, fri deads or mon deads, wed bench, fri squats.
giving you enough time for your back and legs to be fresh before hitting deads or squats.
hope this helps bud
