is it possible to add powerlifting (sub maximal/ percentage work) into an Ft plan without overloading the cns and hindering recovery?
previously (prior to returning to ft) I had been using the 5/3/1 protocols alongside a push pul legs split and seen great increases in my numbers, however since returning to Ft I was wondering if its possible to add that into the mix??
I currently have deadlifts in my rotation, a form of squats (box squats, safety squats and hack), and bench variations (all apart from flat bench)...but these are only done once every 3 weeks as per the plan.
where in the weekly structure would be best? adding them into muscle round days? or as sub max "warm ups" prior to heavy loading sessions?? (in 5/3/1 the only sets taken to failure are the final sets and that's still sub max weight, its a rep pb goal rather than weight)
thanks,
Michael
