  • 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
