This is getting tough. I don’t know if it is the stress of the holidays or being thrown off my routine or burnout of whatever but I am finding it difficult to follow my set/rep routine and get close to my max loads recently. I may have to go to 3x10 and progress from there for a month before returning to my regularly scheduled program.
I am really thinking about scrapping this periodization program and just doing more reps at lighter loads but then that is what I am going to be doing from March through September.
At the end of the day my greatest attribute is that I am doing it and doing it consistently. Whatever it is.
Finally, I just figured out how much total weight I was lifting with my previous set/rep scheme and divided it by 50 to determine what I should be doing in 250s or 5 sets of 10. The 12/10/8/5/3 scheme adds up to 38 reps. Maybe I will do 5x10s for the month of January and then go back to 12/10/8/5/3 for Feb and switch to 250s in March.
