I've mostly finished LP'ing my core lifts, and transition more to a 1@8, 3-4 sets of 5@80ish% as the lifts reach their end.
As mentioned earlier, I used to take like 5+ min on hard sets and 3+ minutes on volume sets. This time I've gotten used to LP'ing at 3 min. As I started transitioning and added volume, I tried lowering my wait times to continue being able to finish within ~1 hour. Shockingly, I've been able to go down to like 1.5 minutes on almost everything. The bigger lifts are 1.5 minutes too, but I Would say by the time I react, put on my belt, get under the weight, we are looking at more like 2.25 - 2.5 minutes.
I'm shocked and pleasantly surprised, as anything under 5 minutes used to be a huge struggle.
The only issue is I wonder if I'm just handicapping my lifts now? Have I gotten too soft? Am I just using a weight that's too light to be able to do sets of 5 squats every 2 min and "wasting my time". The "hardcore" voice in my heads from years past is making me doubt my new ways.
