You are telling me you are doing this everyday?
Dumbbell clean & press, squat, incline press, deadlift - all 4x1
Is that 4 sets of 1 for each exercise?
Doesn't get a little stale doing everything daily when do the muscles recover?
Glad you stopped by Bhanky.
This routine is out of Steve Justa's book "Rock, Iron, Steel". A pure strength/power routine. Not hypertrophy.
https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Iron-Steel-Book-Strength/dp/0926888072Here's how it works.
Start the cycle with weights at 70% of max. Work sets are 4 sets of 1 rep for each exercise
everyday. 7 days a week/365 days a year.
Add 5 lbs to pressing exercises every third workout. 1,2,3,add,2,3,add,2,3,add, etc. In the case of dumbbells, add 2.5 lbs to each bell.
Add 10 lbs to squat and deadlift every fourth workout. 1,2,3,4,add,2,3,4,add,2,3,4,add,etc.
You end up around 95% of max at the end of three weeks.
Every 3 weeks test for max. Based on new max, start new cycle at 70%.
No other exercises, however, I do calves and grip plus some light ab stuff.
Recovery is not a problem because volume is always low. Intensity is also low until the end of the cycle. The routine is self-regulating as you always adjust back to 70% which is like deloading.
I have one more week to go in this cycle and I'm at 85% of max.
You could do this routine forever if you wanted if you didn't mind the repetitive nature of it and it met with your goals.
