Last year I got into some higher volume TSFOSB type programming. Although I had a couple of successful runs with it, the program eventually got the best of me and drove me into the ground. Recently I’ve been using a rotating LP for the SQ, because I had some pretty bad knee tendinitis, and doing just one top set each week allowed me to still train while my knee slowly healed. I also hit some new PRs in the 7-8 rep range, but eventually I think the lack of volume started to bring the program to a halt. From experience, I’m volume sensitive to the point where it’s hard for me to recover from moderately heavy sets across, but neither can I progress by just doing one heavy top set per week. So I’ve come up with a template that somewhat follows the TSFOSB guidelines. The numbers are based exclusively off of my recent working set weights, no percentages. My most recent 5RM is 425. I just illustrated heavy day loads, although I plan to do a light SQ later in the week as well. Just wanting to get some more opinions to make sure it’s at least plausible.
