Hey, since box squats are obviously harder than regular squats, when I get to the end of a PTP cycle with box squats (when I can't complete the sets anymore), do you think it would work if I changed back to regular squats to allow me to keep going with higher weights? Or should I just end the cycle when I can't do the box squats anymore?
Also, the PTP GVT thing is interesting. I'm definately getting increased endurance from GVT'ing, but I'm still weak as hell even with PTP 3 times a week. Weights that used to be way below anything I ever did still feel heavy to me. But, that's what I get for being sick for 6 weeks. I guess it will all come back in time. And I totally have to forget about my ego when I use low GVT weights, especially as I struggle like a noob with light weights towards the end of the sets :D
It just sucks, though, because I'm so used to doing only sets of 5 and all failures were CNS or strength related, not from lactic acid buildup. Heh, I forgot what the burn feels like.
