November is here and I am entering the time of the year when all my good habits fall apart.
I have started to tweak my exercise program to make it feel easier, in the hope that this year I will keep the regular schedule going through to January. I took out a few exercises that I (low key) dread doing, and have taken ∼10% off the top of some of the technically difficult lifts.
But is there an intelligent guide to dialling back your efforts? Surely proper athletes must be facing this dilemma regularly?
How about drop to 70% of max and increase your reps and sets for a few weeks. Maybe try German volume training approach for a block of training eg 10 sets x 10 reps of big lifts done at about 60% of your 3rm
