Frequency Experience

Hello Guys I′m back to HD ! I test what′s the best frequency for me for each lift. I think recovery is more linked to specific lift than muscles. I started the experience in October ! I started with 3 lifts which I did every day : Chins, Dips and Strict Curl. When I regressed 2 consecutives training I decreased frequency by 1 day. Now I wait 3 bad workouts to decrease frequency.

I also do the Triceps Extension with low frequency I started with 7 days and I decrease frequency every workout by 1 day as long as I don′t regress 2 consecutive times !

My best performances on thoses lifts : Chins : 8x37kg, Dips 9x36kg or 5x46kg, Strict Curl 10x40kg, Extension 7x56kg. (PR) = new personal record. (PR ?) = when I′m not sure if I did better or not… I′m close to my previous PR.

everything in KG :

1 Octobre : /

I should have train the 16 (chins and dips) but I was ~ sick !

Sometimes I also do thoses lifts : SLDL and SQUAT LIGHT (because of my lower back) and crunches. I′ll report my workouts here.

I do every lift in One Set to Failure after a little warm up !

17 October :

Strict Curl : 7×42 (regression 1/3)

Dips : 7×37 (regression 2/3)

Chins : 6×37 (regression 2/3)

I should SLEEP more… it could ′boost′ my rate of progress ! …

Hey Vincent, you seem to have had some good strebgth gains….have you noticed any increases in muscle size at this point?

I have one word for you Vincent. OVERTRAINING.

Darrell

Thanks Stevo ! No size gains for the moment !

Darrell you are right :

19 october

Dips : 4×37 regression

Chins : 2×37 regression

I decrease frequency : Dips 1/3 days insteed of 1/2 and I′ll test Chins with 1/7 days !!!

If I regress 3x on Dips I decrease frequency if I regress 2x on Chins I increase frequency !

I do better on Triceps Extension and Curl which I do with lower frequency than chins and dips and Chins and Dips beeing compounds lifts I should probably do them less often !
