    Part B of the heavy day of the program.

    Cleans and Presses. (25 k) 5. (30) 5. (35) 5. --- I thought having to clean before each press would knock me around more than it did. That was nice.

    Olympic Deadlift and heels raise. (85 k) 5. (95) 5. (100) 5.

    Lat machine, curl down to back of neck. (21.8 k) 12. 12.

    Triceps press down. (21.8 k) 5 --- IDK, this exercise hurts the outer edge of my right delt. I'm changing it to incline dumbells tri curls. (9 k's) 10.

    rear delt raise (5 k's) 11. 11.

    Ab crunch machine. (77 k) 20. (72) 14.

    leg curls (18 k) 10. 10.

    81 Now.

    Part A of heavy day.

    Stick warmups.

    Jerk Press Behind Neck. (30 k) 3. (32.5) 2. (35) 1. (37.5) 1. (40) 1.
    Front Squats (45 k) 3. (55) 3. (65) 3. (70) 3. (77.5) 3.

    I supersetted these 2 exercises as a way of saving time. I found that doing the jerk press after a (heavier) set of front squats boosted results.

    Romanian Deadlifts. (80 k) 10. (85) 10. (95) 10.

    Shrugs. (90 k) 20. (100) 18.

    Palms up, close grip lat machine (62.4 k) 9. (64.9 k) 5.

    Leg curl machine (23 k) 10. 10.

    Workout time : 1 hour and 20 minutes.

    The going-heavy once a week seems to be promising.

    I read in a few places how recuperation is the key to getting stronger ( especially as you get older). They seem to mean people over 50. I guess it surely applies to those in my age group. The idea of one heavy day and a light body building day sure seems to help the leg and back recover.

    Jerry.
    Yep. I have long separated the appearances of exercises in my cycles, so that has no doubt resulted in the modest improvements i make.
    So far, in this extreme experiment which is due to last til the end of the year, my heavy days are showing results.
