Dr Darden,
Are there any specific advantages under normal cadence, when/if shifting to 5/5 instead of 4/4?
I heard a podcast with Jim Flanagan, where he told that you and him tried several routines/cadences with trainees and specifically referred 5/5 as normal.
Such cadences offer variety. I’m not sure I’d call them normal.
Is there a cadence that you consider normal or default? If I remember correctly, 2/4 was the recommendation years ago.
As an aside: the ratio of negative to positive work in 30/30/30 is 2:1, which is the same ratio you get for 2/4 reps. Coincidence?
It’s a coincidence.
