38.446 :(

Was thinking of putting 2 collars on each side ;)

Thanks. You used to post a lot in the workout program section years ago, right? Your name is very familiar.

At my bodyweight of 205 lbs the lift amount 137 lbs gives me a wilks number of 39.011. So I attempt the challenge with 137 lbs?

I don't understand this Wilks thing. Am I basically just doing my bodyweight for max reps?

For a true strength / mass split, yes I would go a bit higher on the repetitions. I'm still in powerlifting mode so I'm perceiving 10 reps as "high" and hypertrophy days as "accessory." But yes if...

10 reps or so is fine for a high(er) rep day.

On his power push day he is doing 3 sets of heavy pressing followed by 3 sets of dips, which is plenty if you're hitting your chest twice a week. ...

No. Where is your back day? Skim through this:

And take a routine out of there. You have the right idea - working out muscles twice a...

Too much. I don't see you using any kind of heavy weights with that volume and frequency.

If you lift 5 days out of the week, that is a 5 day split. If you lift 3 days out of the week, that is a 3 day split (well, more realistically a 3 day full body routine).

It also looks like your...

That is a 5 day split. And it seems very inefficient for the somewhat experienced lifter looking for an increase in mass and strength.



I see this routine running from monday-friday

Yes. You need to cut the volume in half, and increase the weights.

Proven methods for what kind of individual?

For myself, 1 on 2 off 1 on 3 off has worked very well. The first session i use heavy weights, usually 8-20 reps and sometimes with a slow tempo. The...

Because SS is a strength routine. Mark Rippetoe could give a f*ck about your physique. So since his routine is about gaining strength, he advocates a diet that will do just that.

Do not, ever, use the word "tone" again. :D

Higher reps do not "tone" your body. Hell, any kind of repetition does not "tone" your body. You "burn fat" when you exercise, and that is what leans...

If you're adding 5 lbs to all your exercises every week, using 5 sets per muscle group AND going about it using the highest intensity (weight) possible, you're going to stall out very soon.

You are a biased and impulsive moron.

Of course. If you're following a routine to the T then most likely your gains are not optimal. Some days your body is tired and weary, other days you feel like you could do more than what the...

There is no right way to go about mass building. Everyone is built differently, with different genetics, so therefore no two individuals are going to respond the same to (x) training style.
