Hello,
I’m on week 4 on 12 week Strength. Through a recent consult on the pain form, I got some advice on my hamstrings tendonitis and it has been getting better with the heavy controlled movements in the 12 week strength program but it is far from healed as it has been chronic for 4 years and will take some time. This is very good newa however as this is the first time I’m truly seeing it get better after so many years!
I track all my workouts and workout days and went back to notice that whenever I do 2 days back to back, my second day deadlift and/or squat suffers.
For example, if I do day 1 I can build up my squats pretty good with very limited pain. If I do day 2 the immediate following day, I can only work up to very light weights before the pain creeps up too high but if I was to wait a day or two, my deadlifts would build up to much higher weights with the same type of limited pain as my first squat day.
This seems to be a repeated theme and has me wondering, am I better off changing movements around, doing 1 day on 1 day off for workouts or just doing days back to back and accepting that my second day squat or deadlift movement will be very light?
Thanks for your time,
Adam
