 Sugdens very own David Dimbleby Member 1403, 3716 posts SQ 220, BP 115, DL 260595.0 kgs @ 97kgs UnEq | Alright chaps. Been on VGs forced entry method for roughly 5 weeks now and have achieved the following: +17.5kg on low bar squat +7.5kg on deadlift (wasn't a true max effort though) +30kg on deficit deadlift +24kg on front squat +0kg on bench (lol) all beltless too. Pretty happy with that tbh. It's coming up to exam period so ill be living in the library and wont be able to lift every day so was wondering if I should change the RE squat (repetition effort) days from front squat to back squat and ME squat from back squat? The reasoning behind this is that I have reached a long term goal (200kg squat) and now would like to get some volume in for back squat and see what i'm really capable of at front squat (only maxed after doing 5x5 first) Thoughts? PS actually benching now so should add a few kilos soonish! | ||

You can swap the me from back to front squat if u want and do back on re. Also I notices from your log, which you're nt doing, the assistance on Me day is supposed to be a giant set. So e.g. Me press- db seated, db incline, tris all after each other. Might not matter but will definitely save tine | ||

Barbells and platforms are always empty though. Will remember this next ME day. | ||

The only other change i've made is eating more carbs post training. | ||

Thats basically what the DE days are about. Submaximal weight with maximal speed. Then you've got assistance to make it 'feel' like you've done enough. | ||
