Currently I am rotating haltings, rack pulls and shrugs week to week. Today I missed my 5th rep of rack pulls at 190kg and the previous week I missed the last rep of my haltings 165x7(missed the 8th rep).
My squat is doing okay, seems to respond well to twice a week programming(for now), once heavy(Mon) and once medium(Thurs). I pull after my medium squats(3x4-6) on Thursday for one set, I know from my own experience that the squats take some gas out the tank which effects my pulls.
My question is; should I lower the weight on my pulls by 5-10kg and do 2 sets of 5 OR pull on Friday when I'm 'fresher'. I'd like to keep the pulls on the same day so am leaning towards lowering the weight and adding a set. I've tried back-off sets in the past with little success. I feel like more volume and/or frequency would be more useful.
Thanks for your time.
Tom
