1. What where your lifts when you left the program?

The last spreadsheet I found was cycle 4, which says my lifts were:
Squat: 140, Bench: 130, Row: 110, OHP: 65, SLDL: 110, and Curls: 50.
I ran...

Hey guys! I don't really get on BB.com anymore, but I just wanted to pop into this thread, and say hi. I recently just hit some goals of mine of a 300lb squat, 315 deadlift, 210 bench, and 125 OHP....

I did 5 cycles of APs and then did 8 months of the ICF 5x5. That worked really well for me, and I ran the 5x5 until I couldn't keep up with the progression. Now I'm starting madcows. I really enjoyed...

You're going to get a lot of unsavory responses phrasing your question like that on this site, so I'll try to offer some helpful advice before the storm comes.

All you need to do for that look is...

If you jump onto All Pros right now with your current 1RM for bench of 110, your effective 10 rep max will be somewhere between 80-85lbs. You start with your 10RM for cycle 1, then after completing 5...

I'm switching from ICF5x5 to Madcows, but I've also run the ICF routine for about 8 months, so I'm stalling out a lot. Madcows is a slower progression (weekly vs per workout), which is more...

I've been doing Jason's 5x5 for a while now, but I've gotten to the point where I'm stalling on the 5x5 progression frequently, and having to reset. I've had to modify the squatting already, because...

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you much!

I've been running Jason's 5x5 for about 6 months. It was great for making initial gains, and getting a good base, but I think I might be ready to switch programs. Doing 5x5 squats 3 days a week and...

I've been doing 5x5 on squats, but I'm thinking about changing it up. It seems that with that much volume, I have trouble progressing in weight consistently. The other issue is that my form starts to...

Looks like you have your diet and rest in check. Macros and calories were on par and you're gaining about a half pound a week.

I only watched the bench video, but your form looked pretty good...

It is not a problem with the program you are on. If you have been stuck at 135lb bench for 6 months it's something wrong on your end.

You say you are on a slight bulk, what was your bodyweight 6...

Thanks again for sharing your wisdom, iron will. I'll run it as is and see what happens.

Honestly, I'm not doing this to get to like 8% bf or anything drastic. I'm on ICF5x5 right now, and I just kinda wanted a break from the bulk, and I want to drop a fair amount of the excess body fat...

So you think I should bump it up to like 2400-2500 to start with?

Well, I've spent most of the last year bulking from 138lbs to 170lbs, and while I've built a lot of muscle, I have accumulated a lot of fat too. Seeing as how it's summer and pool season, I wanted to...

Last night at the gym I was doing bench with my buddy, and this very overweight young guy (probably 270lbs and looked like a high schooler) and some very small, young girl came up to the bench next...

This routine is a terrible routine for hypotrophy... it's great for hypertrophy though! If you can do squats, one of the best hypertrophy exercises, 3 times a week, stimulate protein synthesis and...

I've decided after 10 months of bulking and 30 pounds gained, I'm going to run my first cut. I've been loving this program and making good gains on it, but it's pool season and none of my pants fit...

I added face pulls to workout A. I superset them with my shrugs, so I do 3x8 shrugs and 3x8 face pulls. It works really well that way, and it doesn't make my workout any longer.
