Belt squat any day tbh - takes the load off the back, can be used for a ton of different exercises, and you can continue to use it into your older years as it doesn't compress the back.

Depends what stage of a lifter you are. If you're a novice, you'd progress faster on the second imo.

Should be pulling 2-3x more than you're pressing.

Major lack of lower volume.

Hey all,

Coming from a powerlifting background, I've always had structured progression schemes to follow, percentage based sets and reps. I've decided to put powerlifting on the backburner and go...

Why not just use a proven routine? Your lifts have a ton of room to grow, I'd hop on a linear progression type program. Add some extra volume to get those aesthetic gainz, just monitor your...

QFT

Linear progression FTW, reap those noobie gains - you got lots of room for growth in all of those lifts, kill it homie

Another good one too; https://www.t-nation.com/workouts/boring-but-big-3-month-challenge

Stick to what you're doing with boxing on the side.

You're sitting back a lot on the squat - I'd try and load the quads a little more. I used to break at the hips first but saw much better progress when I began the load my quads more, so I break at...

I'd drop smith machine squats and do real barbell squats with proper form (hitting at least parallel)

Any muscle growth requires a calorie surplus.

Track your current food intake for 1-2 weeks, following that add 250 calories to that number. This will be a slower approach but you'll end up gaining...

Hey all,

Haven't made a journal in years and I just recently began my new training routine so figured I would post here again! I usually video my deadlifts on Thursdays so I'll post those videos...

thanks for the insight :D

Hey man,

I'm about to start the Kizen Off Season as well for a couple months.

Would you be willing to share your programming in regards to merging Israetals guidelines?

Or did you simply...

I do this; http://www.jimwendler.com/2012/09/531-and-bodybuilding/

Similar to Joeys routine, however this incorporates 531 training.

Subbed!

Any reason for the straps on the DL? No access to chalk? DLs are good for grip strength, would suck to forego advancements in your grip is all.

Keep up the great work!

Hi all,
I've been doing 531 for a while now, about 6 months or so. Mostly been doing the BBB routine, my lifts have progressed as follows;
Squat: 205 - 315
Bench: 165 - 225
OHP: 115 - 150

I'll change the main lifts to 531 lifts then just do the specific assistance work.

I'll most likely go back to 531... BBB or triumvirate?
