How it works
Hit every rep, add weight next time. 2.5kg on the bar lifts, 5kg on the deadlift. Miss reps and stay at the same weight until you get them.
Rest2 to 3 minutes between heavy sets. Warm up with two lighter sets.
LegsSquat one day, deadlift the other. Never both heavy.
BackRows stand in for pull-ups. Add chin-ups once you get the bar.
RecoveryNo heavy legs the day before a ride.
