My boy Smitty tells it like it is...you should go H.A.M...but not all the time! Here's a little teaser of the full article you can read at: http://www.dieselsc.com/simple-way-to-understand-training-intensity/ on INTENSITY and how hard should you train.
The deload, or a period of lower intensity workouts or recovery sessions, must be much more individualized and on demand. And if you take away the rigid ‘every 3-6 weeks’, determining when to deload can be tough, if you don’t know what to look for. On a smaller scale, coaches and lifters are also confused about managing the intensity of successive workouts on a weekly basis. Let me show you a very easy way to visualize how to plan your weekly workouts.
Two take away points from this article:
1. To easily understand how to ‘plan’ your weekly workouts, simply follow the sine wave.
2. The workout you have planned and written down, is only a guideline. It must be changed and modified on-the-go, according to how you’re feeling or how your athletes are responding to the pre-training movement prep.
