sorry i've been working alot and haven't checked here recently, anyway on to your questions.
1. Is it still working? if so then keep it, if not toss it, also are you still enjoying it.
2. I dont remember making any updates, i basically wrote the original and forgot about it since the barbell one has been the main one people use

Had a quick question.
Wanted to increase my bench numbers. Ran into a guy who said you can increase your bench by slowly lowering heavier weights and having a spotter to help you push it up (i.e. Max bench right now for 3 x 5 is around 165 lbs, the guy said you should do 225 lbs and having a good spotter, you lower the weight down slowly and he pulls it up for you, and you do that for 3 x 5)
wondering what you think about this?
thanks

another thing you can do is to try doing partials in the power rack, start with a weight thats about 120% of your max for the 3x5 and then as you get to the point where you can do 3x5, try dropping the pins a little lower until you get down to chest level. then again this is all assuming that you are stalled out using the normal method of smashing ****ing weight

Hey,
I think it's time I start switching up routines. I started this program End of November and I plan on moving on within the next week or so.
A couple reasons I say this is that Most of my lifts have stalled, although I think I could be eating more to prevent that, (to be honest I am getting a bit bored of the workout since its been nearly 6 months on it).
I was wondering if its best to move on to a 5x5 (Madcow) or something like Defranco's workout (I was thinking of his newest one "Built Like a Badass").?
For those who are still doing this program it worked great for me and I thank grim.
Some of my stats for anyone who are intrested.
Bench Before
105 lbs
Bench After
165 lbs ( I struggled with this the most, I just can't find a way to increase it I only gained 10 lbs in my bench in the last 2 months!)
Squat Before
125 lbs
Squat After
220 lbs
Dead lift Before
135 lbs
Dead lift after
315 lbs
and I put on a good 15 lbs on this (I was monitoring what I ate and how much I ate so this could of easily been doubled for anyone who doesn't care of putting on a bit of fat, I only gained about a 1% of body fat according to my calipers - noob gains but im not complaining)
Any help to the next step forward will be appreciated!

ok, fair enough. theyre pretty nooby. Ive been seriously lifting for around 2 months but i was following a split up until about 3 weeks ago till i started SS. Should it take longer than that to see gains in mass?
but tbh still think i would see just as much (if not better) gains by following his routine. but here are my noob stats anyway:
--these r about my 5/6 rep maxes, NOT 1 REP MAXES!! (as i am doing SS i never bothered to work out my 1rm) ---
squat - 110lbs
bench - 95lbs
deadlift - 120lbs
press - 60lbs
rows - 88lbs

Hey Grim,
just finished week one of your push/pull program.
I'm liking it so far but had a few concerns.
1. BB Curls - do you recommend using the 7 feet Olympic bar
2. this is really the first time im doing barbell front squats, and I'm almost doing 100 lbs lower in my front squat than my back squat , is this normal? (I also feel it alot in my back)
3. Is it fine if I'm using a overhand/underhand grip when doing Romanian deadlifts instead of both overhand grips. I just can't grip it that well.
Also I was wondering if it would be ideal if I can add in some shrug work into the program
thanks for the inputs!

Awesome! I've been looking for a M T TH F program!
Suggestions on warming up? Do I do a warm-up set of each exercise first? I'm looking to build mass.
Also, what machine could I use in lieu of doing squats on the smith machine?
I was doing this workout MWF:
Barbell Squats: 1 Set Of 8-10 Reps
Leg Extensions: 1 Set Of 8-10 Reps
Lying Leg Curls: 1 Set Of 8-10 Reps
Dumbbell Pullovers: 1 Set Of 8-10 Reps (I have a hard time doing these properly)
Military Press: 1 Set Of 8-10 Reps
Seated Cable Rows: 1 Set Of 8-10 Reps
Barbell Bench Press: 1 Set Of 8-10 Reps
Barbell Curls: 1 Set Of 8-10 Reps
Seated Triceps Press: 1 Set Of 8-10 Reps
Pullups: 1 Set Of 8-10 Reps
Bench Dips: 1 Set Of 8-10 Reps (sometimes it's hard to find an extra bench to do this)
Standing Calf Raises: 1 Set Of 8-12 Reps
Crunches: 1 Set Of 10-15 Reps
Thank you!
PS: I'd really like to build up my twig legs...Last edited by JayHiram; 05-19-2010 at 03:26 PM.
