I normally did the light squat on wednesdays but I had stopped it two months ago when I started this cut. It's not exactly a cut per se either, I'm not following a specific diet with the purpose of receiving a specific result in weight or fat loss or whatever. I still eat relatively more compared to normal people if that's how you'd describe them, but not enough to feed a body of my weight that does weight training. My guess as to why the loss of weight isn't as quick as one would expect is because of all the skipped sessions in July and this month. In June I'd lost 3kg in 2 weeks.
For the light squat I used to do
Monday - Heavy
Wednesday - Light (70% of Monday)
Friday - Heavy (+2.5kg of Monday's)
And repeat the same weekly. But what you're suggesting makes more sense to me. I think I'll do that.
Yes, as a matter of fact 2.5kg increments were a problem even when I ate 5000kcal and 250grams of protein daily. But I wasn't completing the number of reps to 15 then, I do that now. I did it that way on August 5th.
The issue for me with the deadlift - chin - pc programming the way you've written is that it inevitably results in a day with both ohp and pc sessions every other week and these two movements interfere with each other especially now that I don't eat enough. I'm still going to give it a try. We'll see how it goes.
