Yeah, in my 20's I was more aligned with the "Bulgarian method" of PR every day (on a different lift). In my 30's I focused on longer waves - a month of 8's, a month of 5's, a month of 3's and then heavy singles to a PR. Now in my 40's I keep a consistent practice of heavy-but-not crazy (focusing near always hitting a 70% or so) and then in the summer when I have all the happiness that the sun give you I start ramping up and try for heavy singles in September and if a PR is in the cards, I'll give it a try. But my goal now is to never injure myself because I know I won't come back as strong. Consistency, longevity, and keeping muscle mass is my #1 goal and I don't never let my ego jeopardize that.
