Get Bigger By Doing Less

It’s pretty busy around here as I catch up after being out of the office for a few days for a big sports medicine conference, but fortunately, a T-Muscle compilation to which I contributed ran today.  Check it out: Get Bigger By Doing Less

   I really wish I would have listened to advice like this sooner. I’m heading into my fourth year lifting and only recently started using deload weeks. Actually – it was solely based on the recommendation Maximum Strength makes!

   I’m entering Phase 2 starting tomorrow, this is going to kick ass. I can’t wait.

   The template mentioned in the article, and MS, will be something I follow for life.

   “Week 1: high
   Week 2: medium
   Week 3: very high
   Week 4: low”

   Fantastic.

   Eric…your comments/article over at T-Nation (“Advice you Don’t Want to Hear Part II”) is absolutely dead on….

   Absolutely right. Sometimes a break is just what your body needs to boost its strength.
