I'm currently in the 2nd stage of the beginner template. in the 2nd week now (tweaked by back a little so will have to take 4-5 days off!!!) As mentioned I use moderately heavy weights during the first 3 days of the week and try out 15 reps of moving up to a max on the weekend. I feel while doing this my strength has remained the same. I haven't really seen any increase in strength. My maxes have remained the same, maybe increased by 1-2 kgs I guess. So does this template offer no increase in strength but its more to do with technique. Do only strength cycles help in substantially increase strength?
