Is it okay to have a phase where I'm trying to push my body hard and have it adapt?
I have a question regarding weight selection in MAPS Anabolic. Pre-stage and stage 1 were great, and I was able to figure out the weight pretty quickly. However, I struggled a bit selecting weight in stage 2 and now also in stage 3. I know there are a lot of factors, and some workouts can be a grind. Should I work off the max weight I was able to move on a day when I had the most energy, was well rested, and mentally invested? For instance, if I was able to deadlift "X" in phase 1, what percentage of "X" should I start with? I found I had to experiment a lot trying to find the right choice. At first, I had too much weight. With the increase in reps and shortened rest periods, I felt a little like I was overtraining, or on the other end, it wasn't challenging enough. How should I approach weight selection in these stages?
