My left knee has been playing up since moving on to heavy squats. As a result we've dropped deadlifts for the week and will be moving on to higher reps with squats whilst dropping the weight by 20kg.
Today's chest workout, however, was one of the best yet. We both hit personal bests in terms of time under tension at optimal loading. The felxibility of the current training split allowed us the option of focusing solely on bench press today - at varying inclines- and we ended up with 8 excellent sets.
The arms are responding well to the "Winning the Arms Race Programme" - I'm up to 14" biceps (from 13) and Chutz is up to 15-8.
The 6-8 rep protocol seems to be still reaping benefits for upper body but legs may have to return to 8-12 reps whilst the knee recovers.
