I ran with SL for a little while but found I couldn't recover from doing the heavy squats 3xweek (this was due to my own medical history, i get colds/virus quite a lot), anyway i have changed it to...

So you get the most rcovery/rest time before your next heavy day

I believe he means 185 lean body mass not total body weight which is about right based on the different methods of calculation that are around

would probably depend on how intense the oly session is but in general I wouldn't recommend lifting full body right after doing your heavy day and leaving no rest period.

If I were you i would do...

Why are you doing goblet squats? If you are lifting enough to use the 20kg bar then you should be doing back squats

If you have a particular body part you want to improve then do an exercise to match.

Pull ups are great but as you have found, tough as f***. If you have access to a lat pull you could start with...

Failing in your first cycle sort of points to you not getting your starting weight right. That being said OHP is an exercise that a lot of people fail on first, if done strict with no leg push....

I would retest max for squat and calves, not having to clean those should make a big difference. Maybe OHP as well.

Didn't realise there is one of these in Wigan just near me - going to check it on Saturday, it's a free visit weekend with special offers on the already stupidly cheap membership! Can also get a free...

Your age, weight, height you shouldn't be struggling with any of the weights you have listed, do you have medical issues that effect your lifting? (srs not being a d*ck).

Are the weights you list...

This is the way I did them, set yourself a rep target (say 10) do your first set until failure (in your case 5) and then as many further sets as it takes to get to 10. Once you can do say 8 reps in...

To me this programme is a jack of all trades - There are programmes that focus on low rep range to gain strength quicker which are also great if thats your goal. This programme lends itself to a...

1) Ask yourself "am I a beginner?" if yes then this is a good programme for you

2) See 1

Seriously, best answers.

Probably no disadvantage for the calf raises, if anything a machine may help you focus more effort on the calves instead of wobbling around like a numpty :p although i'm sure there may be a case to...

I did them (and dips) at the end of the routine. You could replace the curls for pullups if you wanted, they still hit your biceps. Curls are replaced in the routnie by many people for other...

The deload is built in weekly to the programme (med & light days) the reason for this is that you are doing a full body workout 3 times per week. Even though you are a beginner you would very quickly...

Nice lifts - based on your stats and numbers you are pushing I would suggest you move onto an intermediate programme

If you haven't already used it, chalk will make a big difference to your grip

Have done both ways before - go for the heavier weight, if it feels to much change down and carry on - it's up to you really, it's not gonna make a big difference

Barbell = stick :)

You don't need an EZ bar it just gives different options for grip.
