In his book Sheiko discusses how he uses Med. and Small Loads to balance out the Heavier Loading sessions. The more advanced the lifter the more frequent the heavier loads appear to be. He defines Small loads as anything less then 50, Medium loads as 51-100 and High as 100+. He also talks about using a stressful workout every 2 weeks in the preparation period but does not give any definitions or parameters about this. Anybody know what he is refering to? Thanks.

If you have a look at any of the cycles you can see this 'in action'.
I dont think its as complicated as it sounds...If you've had 3 large load sessions in a row, you are likely to have 3 medium or low load sessions next week.
Stands to reason from a recovery point of view, right?

Stands to reason from a recovery point of view, right? Exactly right. Take a look at any of the programs and then total the amount of reps for each day of training. Do this for all 4 weeks of any given preparatory cycle or competition cycle and you should see this more clearly. In other words, you certainly would not want to program 3 training sessions in a row as "high". There has to be a mix, and when you look at it in the manner I described you will see it. |

The "stressful" workouts are the ball busters, or the ones that exceed 100 reps. Those are usually double squat or deadlift sessions with a bench marathon mixed in for good measure! If you look at the programs that are either in the book or the ones that we have put on the internet or that Dave has translated then this should become clear. Just total the amount of reps per day in each workout and watch the trends develop. Make sense? |
