relearning lifts in new block?
(Preview)
Mike, When you are starting a new cycle, do you find the first week is a little bit lower strength wise, because you are relearning the lifts? I guess it depends on how close the previous movements were (in regards to the motorprogram)

I consider my Lats to be a major weakness. At the moment I use the standard template with Lats after bench days. At the moment I use Bent over rows on the Raw bench day and Chinups/pull ups on the Equipped bench day. They are usually 4-5 sets of 5-12 reps. Do you think there is a limit on the amount of exercise...
