Yes it works. But what happens when we get to our maximum ability? Do we keep going with maximum weights/reps/sets or what?
I progress over a period from light weight to heavy weight. Then I take a break and start over. This takes anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks. It works just as well but without the burn out. |
