hello theerree!
Okay, I'm about to start the High Frequency System by Chad W, and I'm confused with the RM factor. I know RM is rep max, correct? but what does he mean, or how should I perform a: Load of 8RM? and then 14RM 6RM etc.
Another thing, should I start it tomorrow, since for the first day he has some back squats and calf raises and I worked on legs today, does it matter or should I rest a few days (say 1, 2)
THANKS In advance!!
heres an example:
say the max amount of weight you can bench press is 100 lbs, that would be your 1RM, but of course when you lower the weight, you can add more reps. so you lower the weight to 70 lbs and can do up to 8 reps before failure; that 70 lbs is your 8RM
Alright, so from what I understand from your post, is it w/e weight I can do to at least 8 reps? Example, in his day 1 A1 exercise is back squat 4x6 8 rm,
I pick a weight I can handle up to 8 reps but only do 6?
LOL I'm sorry if I'm wrong!
alright, so say I rest for 1 week, that means no lifting at all??? maybe just go light? could I do some cardio? OR JUST NOTHING AT ALL? could a week off the gym result in any tiny muscle lose/hurt progress?? eat less, eat more, eat the same??
oh what to do what to do
keep lifting but you should not apporach failure at all, you can still work upo a sweat...do some circuits of deads, rows, lunges, core etc with easy wt but short rest to still get a training effect
