    that is a bit daft of a design lol. Like they acknowledge that u might need to go from 150 to 155. Then from 155 to 160. But then u have to take a leap of faith up to 170 lol

    6 weeks is nothing. Better to make a year plan or similar. If u take the phrase "progressive overload".....the key word is "progressive"...like, increasing GRADUALLY over time

    at some point you will need some variety in your rep schemes just to avoid boredom and staleness

    quite a few bodybuilders in the past used to do "heavy days" and "light days". Tom just sort of...

    I think its just popularity. Everyone will bench. Squatting is also pretty popular. Everyone wants delts so OH pressing is fairly popular. but back muscles tend to literally be on the back burner

    1950 sounds way more reasonable to me.

    A lot of people aim for 1gram per pound of bodyweight...or I have seen .8g per lb listed as a bare minimum. So u end up with a range of 160-200 using those...
