Hello,

I was in a similar situation at the beginning of 2017. I went with a recomp approach. I ate maintenance calories and continued my strength program as programmed. My lifts continued to rise...

Hey all,

I've been on 70s Big LP for a little over 6 months now. I've been barbell training for a few years now, 3 solid years knowing what I'm doing. I'd like to focus more on bodybuilding for a...

I am the same height and weight with a similar strength level. I would suggest continuing to gain weight slowly, small surplus as suggested above. Are you goals more strength oriented, aesthetics, or...

I've been training for about 1.5 years and my strength level is very much beginner. I'm not sure of my 1rm but I rep 175 bench, rep 250 deadlift, and rep 225 squat. I was making progress on strength...

Thank you so much for your input. Very informative and definitely gives me a lot to consider while building my program. Especially good suggestion on the deadlifts being on the C day. Thanks again.

I plan on adding weight to squat, bench, and deadlift every 1-2 weeks in 5lb increments and add weight to the assistance exercises whenever getting the outline reps becomes east. As stated by another...

Thanks for your input. Would you suggest sticking with say a low rep range entirely rather than mixing in some higher reps? How would you solve the imbalance issue?

Hey all,

I made this program in hopes to run it on a bulk this winter. I plan to do cardio on off days. It's full body 3 days a week as follows:

A: Squat 3x5
Dumbbell Lunges 3x12
...

Sometimes you just gotta talk it out. Thanks guys! Going to go eat now.

I don't know my 1RM but I can rep 225 squat, rep 250 deadlift and rep 180 bench. Like I said, not great.

I actually had not weighed myself in a while and it turns out I lost about 7 pounds so...

Hey all,

I've been running Candito's Linear Strength and Hypertrophy program for most of 2016. My stats have increased quite a bit since I've started. My issue is that I find my progress is much...

I feel like it is a mental block to a degree. I am trying to add 5 pounds to the bar each week, but I don't always make the reps or my form breaks down.

Thanks for the advice. How did the drop sets affect your recovery? I'm concerned that going off program with the drop sets will affect my second squat day (a hypertrophy day).

Hey all,

I've been lifting Since January 2015. My upper body lifts have improved at a rate I am happy with, but my squat seems to be trailing. I started with the bar and have worked up to a 200lb...

Excellent, thanks for the advice!

Hey all,

Is it ill advised to squat and deadlift on the same day? I'm on an upper/lower split and typically do back squats, front squats, and deadlifts on leg day. Rep range on squats is up to 8...

Hey all,

I've been working out in a gym since January 2015. Before that I did mostly bodyweight at home. I started with a full body 3 day a week program focusing on compound lifts (Bench, squat,...

I have been having a similar problem.

If you are worried about the amount of butt wink, try working more on mobility. I've found that using a lacrosse ball to release my hams/glutes/adductors has...

Good to know, thank you.

Quinoa is a great option. And, if my facts are straight, it is nearly a complete protein. I'm vegetarian and eat a lot of almonds/walnuts/cashews, high in fat and calories though. Brown rice is a...
