: Hello Rickey,
: I recently applied the 'progressive descending' (Workout 7)
: system described in 'Xtreme Squatting' to my benches and
: achieved my best ever result, so many thanks for that. Without
: any layoff, I then started another cycle, using the basic
: Workout 1(sets of 5 repsfor 8 weeks, then sets of 3 reps). I've
: plateaued well below my normal level and intend to return to the
: 'progressive descending, system again. So here's the question:
: do the worn-out stale feeling and poor results indicate that I
: should have had a layoff or trained differently before cycling
: up again? I'm an older lifter, incidentally (52) but still
: love the sport after the best part of four decades. Best wishes
: and good luck with the hip, as always.
