Hi there,
I read your article about Joe Mazza in Ironman and started on the program listed there. I was more of a westside guy before, so this was a refreshing change.
The only thing I had to alter was the frequency of the workouts. Instead of doing the two workouts over a one week period it's 14 days for me. And since i changed to 14 days my gains are coming RAPIDLY. In fact, I am turning 40 in March and anticipate all new records by then, drug free, raw. Most recently I was throwing around 405 plus the bands for my board presses and it was actually pretty easy. On the "8-9 rep test day" I pressed 365 for 10, which is a record for me.
I sometimes condemn myself for not being able to hang with the one week cycle, but I keep hurting myself when I do that...I am just too intense to recover in one short week. I eat well, sleep well, but I do have low testosterone so that's always been an issue...even with treatment it's mediocre.
Anwyay, do you condemn me for this as well? Am I doing something wrong or should I be satisfied with what gains I am getting?
