Nah srsly I'm weak as fck...
But now that you're here. I'm starting my first shot at strength training starting this week using The Cube Method. I just have a couple of questions that I'm having some trouble finding. I'm going to list how I understand it and let me know if it's spot on, needs work, or if you'd make changes.
Non-Consecutive days:
Week 1 Max Effort (1RM) Squat, Speed Bench, Dynamic Deadlift
Week 2 Dynamic Squat, Max Effort Bench, Speed Deadlift
Week 3 Speed Squat, Dynamic Bench, Max Effort Deadlift
Max Effort = 8-10 sets going form 60-100%
Dynamic = Assisting exercises (Leg Curls (Squat), Dumbell Presses (Bench), Hyperextensions(Deads) etc...
Speed = Squatting, Benching and Pulling at ~60% 1RM, As fast as you can while keeping form 10 sets of 3.
Thanks for taking a look!

Did you even read the ebook? Lilly pretty much explained it in terms that even a drater could understand, yet you still managed to **** it up. Your deadlift, bench, and squat are broken up into single training days per week with changing efforts week to week. Go back and reread the introduction, and while we're at it you should drop this silly 8-10 set ME bull**** you've been bantering about the past couple days. You work up to a heavy single or double with submaximal weights you feel comfortable with. I usually only take 2 attempts after a lengthy warmup as to not deviate from the terminology of a MAXIMAL EFFORT.
Cliffs:
-Change the word day in your outline to week
-Don't turn your ME day into cardio
-Reread the ebook until you have it committed to memoryExcuses are just tools of incompetence
Used to build monuments of nothingness
And those who specialize in the uses
Seldom achieve anything

I got my information from Lilly's blog as I'm buying the ebook today.
But yes I got it mixed up Not Days - weeks
And I did the 8-10 ME because I thought it would be best to slowly progress up to your ME to warm up. Again, I'm sure I'm wrong, which is why I'm asking. Do you generally go straight to ME? on ME week?Proud to be a Manlet!

Good choice going with hyperextensions for "dynamic deadlift" work. Make sure to add chains around your neck when you do them to look like a real bad ass.

you couldn't have "researched" very well if you were considering anything else besides a linear progression right now. not trying to sound rude, but everybody comes on here and wants to start westside or the cube when they don't even have proper form, for an example.
hop on a 5x5 linear progression program

Are you just bored of 5x5's and 5/3/1's? There's not a lot of variety in them but they work. I was frustrated and wanted to try something new last year so I tried out Sheiko but ended up getting light tendinitis w/o much gains. I'm back on an intermediate 5x5 and getting regular gains again (most weeks). I think many on these boards will suggest you stick with a 5x5 or 5/3/1 till you stall often. Not that exciting but you won't waste time.

I've been using a bodybuilding routine for the last 2+ years. This is my first venture into pure strength training. So I was trying to find a 'method' or a routine that I can get results from as well as get in the gym 4 times a week , will keep my interest, make me push myself hard, and had me doing do Deads, Benches and Squats; instead of exercises that promote those lifts. So what I did was I read what was available, tried to get a basic understanding of the routine; then I came on here and to ask the people who actually knew what they were talking about so they can steer me in the right direction. There are a few Powerlifters at my gym and 2 or 3 said "Westside is the best way to go!" another guy said 5/3/1 was the only program they got big results from. But after trying to find ANY info on the Juggernaut method (Which I still can't find lol) I Found The Cube Method, and I looked into it and it looks like it is what I was looking for. The only way to improve it for me would be to get me in the gym 5 days a week, as that's what I'm used to. That's all, I'm not trying to switch methods for muscle confusion lol or any kind of bull**** like that. Was just trying to find a routine that would work for me and how I like to train.
