After listening to the Huberman/Galpin podcast, I began performing the same lifts 3-4/week for every workout:
For the main lifts, dL/bench/squats/OHP, I stay in the 80-90% range and 3-5 reps. It's been a 5 weeks, and I love it. I'm surprised not only how I have no soreness, but my joints, especially knees, feel great.
Here is my question. I do go all over the place based on how I am feeling that day in terms of percent of 1 rep max. Should I adjust and one week do 82%, then go up a few percent each week for perhaps 4-5 weeks and then go back to 82% but at a higher weight? I feel it's the only thing I need to nail down. What about a pyramid week for each lift and hitting 90-95% for the top of the pyramid/1 rep?
- deadlifts/bench
- squats/back (either PD or rows)
- OHP/calves
