I've started the Blitz several times in the past, and never done it properly AND stuck with it for more than a couple weeks. Even at that, I've seen a jump in endurance, and some growth in strength.
This time, I've done it properly, and just finished my third week. I've increased my weight by 20% since starting, on all exercises except overhead press. I'm still unable to hit goal reps for even one circuit on overhead press at 1/3 of 1rm. On all other exercises, my reps dropped by around 20 reps per minute when I increased the weight, but are quickly creeping back up.
My question: should I lower the weight on overhead press? Seems my lack of progress on that lift might mean I'm using too much weight.
Also, I've gotten one friend of mine, as of monday, to start Blitzing with me, and another may start soon.
One more question, if you don't mind: I'm Blitzing Mon-Wed-Fri, pure cardio Tue and Thurs. Will it be counterproductive in any way if I start "maxing out," on saturdays, just to keep track of my strength gains?
