OMS with floating schedule

Post by EmBHC »

I’ve been running TB for a year and a half now, and I have been mostly using OP I/A due to the flexibility with my work schedule, which is 48 on 96 off. I would like to run OMS but I’ve become partial to the floating schedule style of OP I/A. I’ve read in this forum and in an article from KB, that you can. Increase reps in operator for a lagging lift. Could I just do this across all my lifts in Op I/A? (except for DLs) I know that I could just push the amount of sets higher, but this isn’t always possible if I’m on a time crunch.

As for specificity I was thinking of running the normal OP I/A with two day breaks, and one of those days could be my hypertrophy day. So it would look like this:

-Max strength
-hypertrophy
-rest or black conditioning from mass
-repeat

Is this a good idea or is this blasphemous?

You might want to look into the lifting templates in Green book. It has different set/rep schemes. Zulu HT for example..

I have the green book and I’ve run the DUP program. Could I just do that but with a floating schedule?

Personally, I would be flexible with number of days off and number of sets but I would keep structure without changing anything else.
Another option for you might be programming from MASS book that gives you specificity options.

Just my personal 2c.

BTW, I have done 9 days week schedule for OP I/A and 10 days week schedule for Zulu I/A with a lot of fun and success..

YMMV

Sweet. This helps. Also my conditioning consists of mostly BJJ. Does this change anything?

Depends on your goals, mate.
