Hi. After 2 years of strength training PB/PL i would like to change training style just for fun. I have a BB 1 template. For now, i think it will be ok do the 4 day version but the cycling season it’s getting closer and i think it will be better to go training from 4 to 3 day week. So, to combine 2 leg days into just one training session but eliminating the isolation part (extension and curls). Or maybe insert them to the upper body training days. What do you think about this solution?
For ease of use, I would just do one leg day per week as it’s currently programmed and alternate them week to week. I have concerns about total training load during cycling season.
Thanks for the response. I will try this solution and also reduce a little bit the weights. Cyclin 2 or 3 times a week can be very “problematic” in combination with low body weight training so i will be careful. Also, the gold 20s and ther regeneration capacity are long gone😅
And what about reducing this program in 3 days outside the cycling season? Will be the option that i have mentioned above good?Just when i don’t have time and i squeeze the main lifts from leg days into one session and isolation training into upper body days session.
Alx,
I don’t have any strong opinions on max cycling frequency combined with resistance training, as the volume, intensity, proximity to failure, and so on play a bigger role than frequency on training load.
Yes, one could alternate lower body days week to week if that works better. The Second Generation Time Crunch program may be better suited for you, as it includes 2, 3, and 4-day options that all have about the same total weekly volume.
