You should only max bench for 3 weeks straight before cutting back and doing DE work...

Revok-

Thanks for the article. Ill try some of that DE lifting on this week's push day. Does that no more than 3 week ME principle apply to squats and DL's as well?

I think it's a longer period for those. I'm no expert though. Just play it by ear - whenever you start to stall, lay off and go DE for a bit.

Again - thanks for the advice!


I plan on testing my max deadlift next monday, so this week i removed all normal deadlifts, replacing them with heavy cleans and switched my squat and push day. I am hoping that this will allow maximal recovery time for Monday's test.
