Should get some views, lol.
Who cycles their training poundages as well as exercises performed and at what frequency?
I`ve been sticking to the same exercises cycling the training poundages up higher and higher over 8 weeks, now those 8 weeks will be up in a couple of weeks so I will change exercises, start oiff with a slightly lower working sets weight and build on it till I am using my max at week 4 then for the next 4 weeks I will strive to increase higher and higher.
This has worked well for me an d I`ve upped all exercises by a good margin especially Squat and Deadlift.
Who else does this?
Or do you just switch exercises around often and just push to lift as heavy as possible each workout?

I do the same thing... except I alernate between wrkout A for muscle group and wrkt B every week, upping the weight every workout(even if its just 5 lbs).
That should kind of be commen knowledge, you know, to consistently up the poundages? If you dont, then what the fuck is the point of lifting?
Well yeah but its surprising how many people you see changing exercises all the time and using light weight (for them) and never pushing for a momentum gain in poundages on certain exerecises.
I think at least with myself in my training I push to the limit after a 2-3 week break in (which isn`t light but not full out) of the new exercise and keep it going getting all I can out of it striving to increase weights each week by 2-5lb or more and or reps, sort of start out 85% of what I could do for working sets then add weight until 3 weeks later I`m up to max weight from last cycle for that exercise then keep adding for a further 5 weeks or so, works well.

I cycle heavy with heavier. 7-9 then 6-8. I don't do it because I want to or feel I need the break but only to keep my body on its feet.
