    Question Light Day Between Intensity Day and Volume Day?

    Do you think there would be any harm to adding another light day between intensity day and volume day and continuing with the every-other-day routine? I don't know if I'm OCD or what, but I feel like the two days off in a row make me groggy and feel off.

    So my week would be: VD, LD, ID, LD and then back to VD.

    I realize adding a light day would result in an extra day before I got to another ID since there would be 3 days between ID and VD now, but if that won't cause any significant impact I'd rather go that route.

    I should also add that I had to adjust my ID to include 2 back-off sets at ~90% because I was having trouble with 1x5 being enough.

    I wanted to run it by you and see what you thought. Something tells me this has been discussed before because surely I didn't think it up all by myself.

    Try and see. I've though about this arrangement before, but never implemented it. Let me know how it works.

    Well, it will have to work for him. He lives in Gainzzville.
