I'm refining my workouts, speaking with LINUX recently helped me out ALOT in finding what I need out of my workouts:
-Rep ranges
-When to bump the weight up
-Eccentric phase
-What workouts to do rest pause, which ones are straight sets
For rep ranges they'll be between 15-20. 20-25, or 25-30 depending on the workout.
I cannot bump the weight up UNTIL I hit the end of rep range i.e. 20, 25, or 30 in the groupings above.
As far as eccentric aka negatives this means a slight couple second stretch at that eccentric part of the workout and bringing it back into the concentric.
What this means is, I'll probably have to stay at all the same weights I'm at (or even lower it) to be able to get eccentric stretch.
For workouts and when to do rest pause sets versus straight sets, we're doing the following.
Calves - Straight set only and only 1 set with a 10-15s second hold at the bottom - should be only doing 10-12 rep range NOT 15-20 rep range
Forearms - Straight set and only 1 set
Hams - rest pause for curls, BUT straight sets - 2 sets for Deadlifts
