So my work sets are at 315 x 5 sets of 8, all reps paused. That means I'm basing my EDM bench at around 425, something I know I can do any day of the week. I write 'eventually' because the BB methodology is built around 'slow and stead wins the race'.įor example, right now I'm using BB Bench model I. Once you've established your EDM and understand what weights you will be working with for your phase, it's not entirely a bad idea to set a goal for what you would LIKE to be working with eventually. So back to progression, and how to plan for it. However each one does a specific job better than the other. Mind you, these are two entirely different training protocols, though there will be overlap with both.īB will increase muscle mass (trust me, it happened with me), and mass building will up your base level of strength.
This is how your offseason should be spent, unless you're trying to increase your base level of muscle mass. Let's not lose sight of the fact that the whole point of BB is to increase your EDM, so that your BASE LEVEL, your sustainable level of strength, has increased. If bar speed increases on a considerable basis over time, then it's up to that lifter to discern how much he should raise his EDM. Progression is determined by the lifter, and his understanding of those three factors.
