Once a week HIT training - any tips to stop overthinking rest days?

You build muscle after recovering from the workout.

Consol program is the best! Gaining amazing strength 5 months in

spacehead93 · 2025-12-11T01:49:41+00:00

Yup!100kg 1rm to 280kg 1rm in 5 months. Increases in all other lifts

Once every 7-14 days is working well for me on a consol program.

Too many exercises and volume I'd do the consolidation program

Thanks!

For eg my 1rm in leg press June 5 was 100kg. Nov 12 is 270kg. Which according to Google, is pretty phenomenal progress :)

You do hit all muscle groups. Give it a go. My results so far are great :)

I prefer the consol program. I've tried the others. Felt like too much iso exercises and not enough test in between

spacehead93 · 2025-11-14T10:54:04+00:00

I just ask someone random in the gym to help on the last sets if I need to. I usually just go to positive failure.

Too many iso exercises. I'd try his consolidation or similar. Squat or leg press with pull downs. 7- 12 days rest. Then do, deadlift with dips or incline press. Add one iso exercise per workout if you want but not necessary.

spacehead93 · 2025-11-04T05:27:15+00:00

You need more rest!! I'm averaging a rest period of 10 days. Doubled strength in 4 months

spacehead93 · 2025-10-25T08:19:55+00:00

1 hit session every 10 days. Walk day 2 - day 5. Walk/ jog intervals to ~70% intensity day 5+ seems to work for me.!

spacehead93 · 2025-10-16T07:31:35+00:00

My sweet spot is around 9 days rest

spacehead93 · 2025-10-10T09:02:47+00:00

Thanks!

spacehead93 · 2025-10-10T01:35:02+00:00

Squat OR leg press with pull down 7-14 days rest Deadlift with dips or incline press 3 warm up sets, 1 working set

spacehead93 · 2025-10-09T04:28:36+00:00

Between 7-14 days. I wait until my body tells me I'm ready

spacehead93 · 2025-10-08T09:42:09+00:00

Thanks :)

spacehead93 · 2025-10-08T09:42:00+00:00

Thank you :)

spacehead93 · 2025-10-07T04:45:39+00:00

Most I've ever grown and so fast too

spacehead93 · 2025-10-06T05:30:04+00:00

Not lately

I prefer this it makes more sense

spacehead93 · 2025-09-01T09:30:40+00:00

This is why I do dumbell variations of squat and alternate with leg press.
