Hi all.
I have a few ideas as to what to do here but man I fo love a good topic of intelligent conversation.
#1 Issue is warm up sets. Mainly for thigh movements. I can do multiple warm up sets to get ready to squat or leg press etc. Or, I have done my quad and hamstring movements for the day before. Especially calves which leads to increased dorsiflexion in my squats.Possible issues are weakening of the muscles leading into llower weight moved on the compound movement. Issue 2 less overall work done due to less total sets.
#2 muscle rounds. For those of us who do no cardio and are in poor cardiovascular shape, it can often hinder the work we can do. For example my legs could do a MR of squats with 250ish but due to my cardio performance I only do 225lbs. Would it be advisible to add in some conditioning work to the week so that eventually I can do the poundages possible or shall one just stay at the 225lb?
