What kitp said.

You need less sets and larger jumps in weight. The key is the least amount that you can get away with while still being warmed up. You will have to fine tune that to see what it...

I would say so, an exact 1RM on this program will kill someone. Even w/ a max that is, say, 10lbs lower than your actual max, it is still very tough and the last few wks are near impossible, from my...

Hell no!

The way you have that set up, you are doing an entire work out, then trying to see what your explosive power is. It would be like running 400's and 800's, then tryng to see what your...

Seeing as how my weak point is where it is, that is why I thought of it. My strongest point is tri's, so I could stand to maybe add 5lb to inclines and hit them when I am fresher, since I hit the...

Ice and aleve. Even though the directions are something like don't take more than 2 caps in 12hrs, a ortho sergeon told me to take 2 - twice a day to knock the inflammation out.



I know what...

I am just wondering if it is OK.

My stall point is about 4-6" off the chest. My tri's are very strong, if I miss reps on this routine it is on wide grip or incline, not CG.

From what I...

I don't stretch, but I do use hot/cold gel packs on my shoulders for 30 min before upper body work.

I had some tendonitis or bursitis in my shoulders at one point (occasionally it still flares...

I have standard, spin lock handles.

They aren't necessarily cheaper, in the long run. Meaning that if you had an OLY handle, you could just use the plates from your OlY set. But you have to buy...

I understand how to do them, the issue is my proportions.

I am 42" from foot to waist, and 18" from shoulder to waist. My Knees are in the way when I am trying to row.

As I said, if I bend...

Which is pretty much why I am thinking of dropping underhand rows. *B/c of my proportions (knees in the way) I end up curling the weight first, then rowing it to the beltline.

So, I am not getting...

Also, as far as back work/ development - DLs!!

Obviously, conventional, but for assistance/ hamstrings, I do DL variations. The majority of my hamstring work is SL DL and/ or romanian DL,...

Nice job, BPG.

I have some spin lock, standard DB handles.

I don't have OLY's though, my thought is that they would get too big having to load them w/ 25lb plates (making the DB about 55lb - 60lb), before...

Good posts guys!

Sorry to take so long to respond to the thread, but I have been kinda busy. I will give reps and respond in detail when I get a chance. But don't let that stop the flow of ideas..

I just don't seem to get a lot out of BB rows and I am thinking about switching to cable rows.

I would just do DB rows which would solve the problem, but I have a home gym & don't have the...

IMO, this becomes about semantics in some ways. Meaning PL type work outs, or BB type work outs.

PL work outs are about more strength, the size that will follow is incidental to the point, from a...

Probably like if you stood in a crouch for a while, your legs would burn. You can't take pecs, delts or tri's completly out of the move, even on partial reps. You just emphasize a different aspect of...

Same here, but you will rebound once you get the new set up down.

You will learn to like squats and DL, if you keep doing them. I wasn't over the top about squats either, at first.

But I just hit, 360lb and 365lb, yesterday. The highest I had been was 350lb 2wks...

A 74" wingspan isn't freakish at 6'.

Compared to fighters and basketball players, sports where wingspan is an attribute, that isn't extreme at all.

People see me as 6', but in reality I am...
