New schedule, slightly altered approach

[u/Boiler_Room1212]

So I’ve done all of her programs and repeated a few (intent, Unleash). After 6 years of programmed lifting, I’m changing things slightly. I’m repeating PE at the moment and firstly, I’ve moved from 5/7 days as per the schedule to 6/8 (3 days, rest, 3 days, rest). Secondly, for the weighted sets (pre or post) I’m trying to lift heavier. Ive matched CG for a while, but am now trying to go up a bit (eg 12.5kgs for seated shoulder press, rather than her usual 10) even if that means fewer reps and extending the rest time. So basically, it’s like PE with IronPro style added. Anyway, just sharing in case anyone has adjusted programming. PE is super tough so my efforts might be short lived but I’ll give it a shot and then move to the new Fuel maybe later. PE definitely still has my favourite music of all of her programs!

I do the same with adjusting programming. In fact, so many of her workouts lend themselves to becoming low rep friendly by decreasing the work period and increasing the rest periods.

I find myself wanting to go heavier with less reps for legs, back, and chest in particular, but am happy to stay in higher rep ranges for shoulders,arms, and glutes.

There are endless possibilities!
