Lifting less after a few days rest? - Ausbb

Daniel.308 · 01-09-2010, 12:58 AM

Hey guys

Well I train weights Monday, Wednesday, Friday and from what I have noticed in my lifting pattern all my lifts seem to improve on Wednesday and Friday's lift sessions... On Monday (after 2 days of rest eating quality food) I feel a WHOLE lot weaker than what I do on Friday...

Is this normal for most people? or do I just have the genes of a Jnr Schwarzenegger lol?

Cheers

If you are lifting the same or more weight on a monday that you did on a friday I wouldn't worry about it.

Okay thought I would bump my old thread up...

I have always had a problem with lifting the same weight as I did on Friday...

For example...

My first working set on my squats

I did 3x10 - 75kg on Friday - It was hard but I would say it was about 95% of my max, my form was good etc.

Today (after 2 days rest and eating like an animal) I did 3x10 - 75kg - I got to 5 and started bending my back over and my form went out the door - its just I know I did 10 reps on Friday so I try doing them 10 reps or more the next session and it sort of sets the bar and you would think you raise the bar after the next session yet it is harder and for me to complete the same 10 reps I did the session before I now need to use bad form to get to 10...

It honestly puzzles the fuck out of me...

I would be interested in any of you guys opinions as this is always the case yet today was a bigger difference than normal...

Cheers

Sounds like you are either not recovering enough or you need a super stimulus.

My body feels fine, if anything I need to train ANOTHER day...

I feel no DOMS if I eat how I am eating now (everything and everything every 2-2.5hrs)

Its pretty damn weird.
