Exactly! Three on -- one "off" -- three on made so much sense to me, that when KB recommended it was one of those "How could I have been so stupid as not to think of that?" moments. (I had a similar experience when he suggesting coupling hill sprints and swings.) I think it's also important to see that "off" doesn't mean completely sedentary -- you can do some other sorts of work, just keep it on a very short lease.Barkadion wrote: Basically, this is a variation of what KB suggested in "After 40 Club" thread.. 3weeks push/1week off blocks.

Think of how effective a great many people found Wendler's original 531, which was a 3 weeks on - one off arrangement.
