3 week blasts?
#1
Hi Scott or anyone else.. Altamir could fit the bill as I am aware you also cruise quite early into a blast.

I seem to only be lasting around three weeks into my blast before not only loving the idea of a cruise but getting slightly joints and some days preferring my rest days, lounging about doing nothing on an evening rather than training. I love the idea of a cruise, I am getting better and better at auto regulating but unsure if I am utilising these cruise periods earlier than I should be to warrant any real benefit ?

In terms of my tier I am running tier 1 basic.. I used to run tier 2 turbo exclusively but then switched to tier 2 basic after a year or so. I then switched down to tier 1 after a few months as I just prefer doing the higher rep ranges as I feel they are more fun, and appealing?

Every time I cruised I used to enjoy looking at the book (as sometimes I forget) and seeing it was pump sets instead of MR's and loading so I decided to try tier 1 for a few blasts. Again, this could be because I have subconsciously lost the desire to train and that I am again subconsciously trying to keep it as fun as possible if that makes sense. Note that I go to absolute town on these sets and by the end of them I am barely even performing a pulse because the ROM is around 1-2mm.

Anyway, three week blasts.. whats your take? Or whats your take on my situation? Could it be the case that I am genuinely warranted a cruise due to training intensity? Bare in mind that because I am solely using tier 1 that the majority of my sets are to failure aside from day 1 calves and day 2 back, aside from that everything is an RPE 9.5-10.

Notes on diet. I tend to eat more on training days and less on rest days so essentially have high and low days as I just love to eat and feel that training days warrant the additional food.

Could my rest day (low days) be hampering my recovery capabilities which is why I am wanting to cruise so early in a blast? I don't typically ache in regards to DOMS.
