Re: Zulu Testing Day(s)?

So gang, I'm two weeks into this new Zulu block and a few lessons have been learned... • Given the big jump in numbers recently, I was definitely lifting sub-max for the last block and I still got stronger in the process. • Lifting 70/80/90% of the new 1RM's feels a lot (lot!) heavier. To the point ...

Re: Zulu Testing Day(s)?

Great job StillPushing. Don't get too attached to the numbers - sometimes you'll have big jumps, little jumps, or no jumps at all. Just keep at it. Nice work. KB Thanks KB and sound advice. My next hurdle is building running into my conditioning. Using a rower and airdyne at the moment. TB is havin...

Re: Zulu Testing Day(s)?

Thanks for the reply Geidi. I have just tested over two days for this coming block. I feel it has served me better than testing on one day. Coming off an OP block SQ/BP/PU (1 day DL x3) and can't believe the increases in some of my weights. My numbers were not great prior to this, with being only a ...

Zulu Testing Day(s)?

Hi all, A quick question on testing day for Zulu. Are people testing over two days or lumping it all into one day? The first time I ran Zulu I used a BP/DL and OP/SQ cluster. I tested in one day and felt that the later lifts suffered due to fatigue. It took around 80-90 minute all in all. Just wonde...
