I thought about putting this in the beginner section, but I think an opportunity to talk about training is always a good thing and though the concept may seem basic there is a lot of opportunity for depth.
A natural' s best path to progress is progressive loading and just so I imagine when cycling / blasting. But how do you compensate for the hyper - recovery and strength gain? Where my goal week to week may be 5lbs increase in legs/back and 1.25-2.5lb on chest / arms how will this change during a cycle?
I know people say go by feel but how do you feel you can go 15lbs heavier that night over what you have planned, and then track real progress if next week you can't do the same weight or better?
I realize in bodybuilding you aren't chasing numbers, rather growth, but it's the easiest measuring stick to track.
How do you fully utilize the hyper - recovery when blasting, or maximize the short time frame for progress (12 weeks versus 6 months)?
