I'm in week 3 of Dave's diet and the fat is melting off.
I'm also taking a fair bit of test and tren.
I've been doing a linear strength program this spring (Rippetoe's advanced novice) 3x /wk, 5 reps, big compound lifts.
Many PR's were set. Fun was had....
But I've maxed out on most of my lifts and my recovery on this diet can't keep up with my program. I'm committed to the diet for another 9-12 weeks.
So I'm thinking I need to modify my training before I break (the warning aches are there).
I've considered simply resetting my weight down and lowering my increments and riding the diet.
I've also considered reducing weight and increasing reps/set to try to achieve a similar total volu
What are the common adjustments that you make to your training when you are preparing for a contest/dieting down?
thanks,
