Question regarding MR days for you guys.
Currently on tier 1 basic, and i'm finding that after upper MR days I feel pretty annihilated after, and sometimes it extends into the day after. I just feel completely spent. Lower MR days I don't find as bad since there is just 1 MR set, and loading days I seem to be fine afterwards as long as i'm getting sufficient sleep. Strength is still going up for most of my lifts, but bodyweight has stayed around the same.
I am still relatively new to training, as this is only my 3rd year of "serious" training, and i'm still quite light at 145 lbs, so I know I have a really long ways to go.
I'm just wondering if there would be a way to decrease the CNS demand on MR days, potentially switching some MR's to pump sets of Upper MR days?
OR
Should I even be doing FT? Am I not yet at an advanced enough level to do the program? I really do enjoy this style of training, the high frequency and high intensity approach is something that psychologically works well with me, but if this program is too much for me from a CNS stand point maybe I need to take a step back?
Thanks!
