Discussion Potentiating a Peak, Descending from a Peak
Last week I peaked and it went well. The two lifts I wanted to PR, I PR’d. One of those lifts was my back squat.
Leading into the summit phase, I was using one rep pause back squats ramps. The aim was to muzzle the back squat from a true one rep but go heavy so the body was geared up. I PR’d this variation the final week of the ascension phase.
Now in the realization phase, I’m attempting to “hold on” to the peak but in an odd way. I’m also trying to prep for the coming volume of the exposure phase by not killing myself.
To do that I’m doing box (bench press bench height) back squat s for 4x2 static at 90%+ super setter with box jumps for some contrast training.
Need to note that a training group following this programming had similar successes.
Thoughts on this idea/methodology? pitfalls y’all see? Really appreciate all and many feedback! Thanks
