On the first run through , IF you find yourself too fatigued simply adjust the 10 rep set percentage down some from say 65 to 60 or 55% until it feels proper then build it up. That should give you enough gas to finish up strong.View attachment 55645

Once that 10 repper is done you just pick up momentum in your head for the rest.
I use the same rep and percent scheme for bench dead squat ohp and pendlay rows and landminesI know on week #2 rotate the singles out.
For bench and press do I just follow the same numbers on week 2?
When do you deload?
What supplemental and accessory’s should I include?
As far as deloads ... i'm a bit of a deload retard , i push myself farther than I should most of the time so I started looking for diminish returns on my main lifts , one week i'm off ,, it could be anything , 2 weeks down again ... somethings not right, 3rd week if I havent snapped out of it, deload time.
For me personally I can go 4/6 weeks like a mad battlerager and then I gota deload.
I will attempt to simply back off my totals for a week and lower volume by half if that doesnt refill my tank or cure my aches and pains ill go for another week at reduced volume and cut my work load in half for that week , so it basically becomes a week of technique practice , stretching and relaxing. It is very very seldom I take an actual deload week where I do nothing , for that something has really got to be wrong.
The 4 day is a monster of a split for sure I love it. The slightly lower percentages make up for some of the brutality.That’s Get It! The 4 day split will work best for me I do believe.
I literally slept and ate all day! I’m sore all over!! I love this shit!!!

Burned a lil midnight oil and a big chunk of hash![]()
Voila - 4 day split bridge block/deload
*You can always swap out any lift for any other that fits , plug n play

Optional Light Cardio: Add 10-20 minutes of light cardio at the end of sessions for active recovery.
