How many aways should I do

Well...

theoretically you would do as many aways as possible; however, the reality of it is that you should do as many aways that you can realistically complete with 110% effort.

doing an away is quite strenuous for the obvious reasons and it can be difficult to keep the same level of intensity after 2 or 3 away rotations.

One needs to be mindful of the fact that while you doing >3 aways will increase your matching odds, if you are not able to maintain the same intensity through every single rotation, you may actually hurt your chances.

I have heard of people doing 2 aways and a 3rd-two week rotation, and i've also heard of people doing 3 or 4 rotations. The decision is up to you.

I think doing 2 or 3 (at most) is ideal and will allow you to better direct your efforts.

hope that helps

thanks for the advice

OG makes some good points. SubIs blow, but they are essentially the best way to get a spot. I would suggest only going to places where you are really interested in matching. Pick your 3 favorite places, if you like 2 of them a lot and the 3rd a little less then do 2 aways. If it's a toss up between the 3 do 3. Most people do 2 and their home program (3 total).
