nervous system can 'super adjust' to heavy (1RM) training pretty quickly, but it wont last long. So by giving the maximum rest to my cns, its going to recover more complete week to week. Waterbury talks about something similar to this when hes doing 2x per day training, it seems to make sense to me.. I can train back to back heavy days no problem, but then I just dont feel like training really heavy again for a few more days. Plus I can take 2 full days off before the ME stuff this way.

I figured id give it a try. Squat/Deadlift workouts dont make me sore or feel anything the next day, so im not all that worried.
Interesting theory, I was interested as when I started WS4SB, I was doing back to back ME days, but found it very tiring.
Now I alternate between ME and 5 x 5, which doesn't seem to affect me the same way.
Maybe Im just a wuss.
