Does anyone out there cycle their supplemental lifts on a weekly basis? For instance on squats you might do something like this:
WK1:
Squat
Front Squat 4x8-10
Hamstrings, abs, etc
WK2:
Squat
Pause Squat 4x6-8
Hamstrings, abs, etc
WK3:
Squat
Squat Against Chains or Reverse Band Squats 3x4-6
Hamstrings, abs, etc
WK4 (Deload):
Squat (Light)
Hamstrings, abs, etc
REPEAT
Particularly, I’m imaging using this in conjunction with something like The Juggernaut Method that follows an Accumulation/ Intensification/ Realization/ Deload set up to each month. Both the supplemental exercises selected and the sets and rep scheme used for it would match this set up. Accumulation week gets a non-specific supplemental lift with higher volume and lower intensity, Intensification week gets a more specific supplemental lift that lends itself to more moderate volumes and intensity, and the Realization week gets a very specific, overload-based supplemental lift done for relatively high intensity and lower volume. On deload weeks you just do your main work and little stuff.
The benefits to doing this would potentially be more specificity for the adaptation you’re looking for each week. Additionally, you’d be handling heavy weights more frequently (which is a big criticism of the Juggernaut Method and similar systems) while still getting in a lot of sub maximal work on the main lifts.
Thoughts?
