 First question is from blaze 84 when returning to a one to five rep phase from 8 to 12 and or 15 to 20 reps Do you continue using the same weight from your last five rep max? Add or remove a few pound pounds or start back at my five rep max and see how I feel and go from there That's a hard one. Yeah answer. Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of variance. Well, I'll tell you what I do So let's say I trained for three weeks in a low rep range, right? One to five and then I next few weeks I go eight to twelve and then the next few weeks I go 15 to 20 and now it's time to go back to my One to five rep range. I start my workouts with what I finished with and my last time I was in that phase to feel it out now Usually what happens and now I've been doing this for so long that that doesn't always happen because at this point To get my body to continue to progress now. I'm kind of hitting I feel like I'm hitting certain genetic limits or whatever But I I typically feel you know because I keep a log right and I'll do what I did the previous time I did the low rep range and I'll find that I could squeeze out and another rep Oh, let me get that get this straight now You start back where you started before on that one to five not where you finished No, where I where I finished the one to five phase in wow last time I left it at so exactly That's what I'm saying. So let's say you just went through a phase and let's just use deadlift to make it easy Are you peaked sure? So yeah, you leave you start back where you peaked I'll start back to where I feel like I got to and if I was comfortable there That's usually where I'll go. So let's say I finished my first one to five rep range and I was able to get you know Five reps with 450 or something like that. I'll grab 450 now if it was a single I won't do that So I'm glad that's that's that's good. I should I should clarify if it was one rep I'm not gonna go back to my last one rep max because if it is heavy or too heavy. There's nowhere for me to go Well, yeah, I take like the four five rep. Yeah, so I typically go back to The exact same weight that I started the that phase before But what I notice is that like it's easier. Let's like, you know, let's just say for again using the deadlifts as an example I just let's say we're running at probably better advice for most people maps anabolic and you know I start off when I'm working, you know reps of five You know, I start off in week one and I'm and I'm doing let's just say for argument's sake, you know 375 or something, you know, and then I go through the whole strength phase and maybe I towards the end I'm now pulling in the mid fours or something and then I move into the next phase Well, then I come back around I still start back at 375 Just for safe reasons and to see where I'm at plus like you're to your point, you know It's rare that I get I'm making huge leaps strength leaps So I can normally just tell right away what the 375 feels like in comparison the last time and if I've done a good job of falling Then you need to jump up substantially. Yeah Yeah, the jumps are big right so the jumps are bigger So now where it took me, you know all the way through the phase to get from 375 to maybe 450 or something Maybe I'm at 450 within weeks two or three right away. So it's just Typically that's kind of how I do it But that's why it's hard though because it depends on who you got such a fuel thing for me too with that Well, think about you have a new like a new client can get these types of games, right? Like if it's a first time someone's ran like they've never ran like a really good program where they've structured it and they Purchase anabolic they're running through it and they run through one time and they come back a second time a lot of times That person coming this can do exactly what you said Sal They can start at there what they peeked at because their body is responding so well to this to actually programming Legitimately that they when they come back around the second time. So it depends on where let me clarify because that's a great point that you bring up I I think if you're doing it this way what you need to do if you pick the weight That you use last time in that rep range pick the weight that you use that the upper part of the rep range Because if it's what you did five reps with and the range is one to five and then you try it again And you're like, oh, I'm not any stronger or maybe you regressed which is unlikely at least you could drop reps You don't want to go with the one rep max because now you're screwed Where do you go from there? But more often than not this is what happens unless your diet is off and awesome If you're if you're nowhere near your because you got to keep in mind everybody has a potential You have a genetic potential and at the bottom of that potential is you being totally inactive You know sitting on the couch all day eating terribly not taking care of your body at the top of that potential is what you can achieve when You've got a great workout. It's programmed appropriately for your body You've got a great diet good sleep good lifestyle a lot stuff So there's your potential and then of course how long you've been training or whether or not you're hitting that upper limit So if you're if you're not at your total potential if you haven't reached your genetic potential yet Following a program like that. You're gonna find that you're gonna be stronger when you revisit those old phases It's just you can actually Almost expect it but of course consider lots of different factors I wouldn't expect it if the first time you did it your diet was on point You were sleeping good in the second time around everything else was off But the progress you should see is should be pretty damn consistent and people have told me that they enjoyed the second And third round of a maps program more than the first round because then they've gone through it They can modify it a little bit They know how their body's responding in the second time around their body responds even better
