Yea it is easy to get sloppy under heavier weight, so as I get older I have less of that MUST LIFT HEAVY obsession and I like to explore other ways to make shit hurt... lighter weight and slower reps, more reps, more supersets, etc. always accomplish it! Some interesting stuff I kinda like doing is lighter weights for high reps before going to some pyramid sets, or where I can do alternating exercises, e.g. cable 1-arm row and then move to a similar 2 arm row - e.g. barbell, hammerstrength or whatever row to go heavier. Same idea as the alternating leg extensions and then go to 2 legged and push either heavier or more reps.
Everything I post right now is part of me seeing what I can do w/o hurting my foot as well as just getting the old bod back in working order since I've been a bit sporadic w/ training since my last show. Expecting my prep to start getting serious this weekend, but per my doc, I still need to be careful w/ the foot for another 2 weeks.
