    Default Newbie LP question

    Hi all,

    Today I did my first LP workout. I worked up to loads where the bar slowed down, but I think I may have loaded up so that it slowed down too much. At the end of my final set on each exercise I would say that I would have failed attempting a sixth rep.

    Should I back off the load for the next workout and if so how much?

    Thanks

    Al

    Tough to say without being there to see. Your first couple workouts should not have any genuinely grindy reps, however.

    Thank you Tom! I’m going to go back and repeat the first workout procedure.
