I've got a quick question considering I had some great responses in my other post from some well experienced members here. Another problem I've ran into over my 30 months of training and wanted to raise question about.
So I prefer a balance of hypertrophy and strength. I've noticed, if I do hypertrophy sets first, my muscles burn to bad to allow me to maximize my lift or use maximum weight. So I usually mix, and start with strength sets, then work my way to higher reps with lighter weight when mixing both.
I've also noticed, on days I don't do strength sets, my 10rm is higher than when I would do strength sets at the beginning.
In other words, it seems when I mix my rep schemes on the same day. I'm either not getting the most of my hypertrophy sets or the most of my strength sets.
Would it be reasonable to divide my months into weekly block periods. For example, one week of maximum strength training. Second Week of hypertrophy training. Then Repeat? With a Maint. / Rest week every 6-8 weeks?
Ie. One week I'll do 7 Sets x 3 Reps then the following week switch to 4 Sets x 10 Reps?
