I am halfway through week 4 and I am starting to feel the fatigue building up. Luckily, I can take naps if I feel the need. I still don’t have much in the way of muscle soreness, so most exercises are still going up in volume and of course everything is still going up by about 2% in weight on the bar. Other than the first set of bench press on day 1 of this week, I’ve been able to match or exceed the number of reps from the previous week.

It is getting harder to do that though, so I’m pretty sure next week will be the last accumulation week. A 5 to 1 pattern has been what I’ve seen since I started doing the Renaissance Periodization programs a year ago. Meaning that for the hypertrophy mesos, I do 5 accumulation weeks followed by a deload week.
