Hi everyone

Just to help make my workouts clear for those who want to follow them; I am an old guy which means recovery is everything for me, therefore I only train heavy every other week. This last week was my light week, and that is why I was doing Couture training. Couture was a nice change up from what I have been doing, but I'll still change it up every month. Normally on my light weeks I would do speed work with bands on the bench and deads, but I decided to change that up this week and it worked out great.

On my heavy week I do shirt training doing singles and some doubles, then heavy raw bench ME.  (Max Effort work) I follow the bench work with 2 sets of heavy shoulder work, lat work and if I have time heavy tri work. If I don't get the tri work in I'll do it on thursday. On Tuesday I do ME deads or squats. There are many different exercises that can be used for Max Effort work on the deadlift and squat. I rotate exercises every week to avoid accommendation, which is what happens when the body adapts to the exercise and then stops changing.

The younger guys who train with me will be going heavy every week unless we deload or are a week out from a competition.
