Can you explain APRT on page 79 of the RCTM? Does this principle mean that, if necessary, I should reduce the resistance on a grip on the hangboard DURING a strength phase?
For example, if my baseline on a grip at the beginning of the strength phase was -10 pounds for 6 reps on the second set and I plateau (or regress) in the middle of the phase at +10 pounds on the second set for 6 reps for two workouts, should I then drop the weight back down to +0 to complete the correct number of reps?
How does this relate to breaking a plateau during a phase? |

Chris,
Yes! If you hit a brick wall in your hangboard training, I find it's best to take a step back (reduce the resistance 5 or perhaps even 10 lb.). The reason is, if you are struggling to the point that you can only complete a fraction of the desired repetitions, then you aren't getting enough workload to force adaptation. Additionally, it can be pretty demoralizing to be stuck on the same resistance for several workouts, and to be 'failing' over and over again.

Perfect, thank you! I'm loving the book!
