    Get two chairs and line them up correctly with some cushion on top (so it doesnt damage the chair). If you failed at the squat, you can land safely. Just land slowly.

    Dont know about bench though.

    Today I finished my 5th cycle. In 5 cycles I have seen good progress- I went from 175lbs to 200 and my strengths improved a lot. I am thinking of moving on to a different program in hopes of sparking new growth and because a couple lifts (bench and shoulder press) have stalled for the second time in a row. That being said I

    I know that there have been a couple intermediate programs touched on in the original thread. Im having trouble finding them even using the search this thread function. I am interested in the upper lower split. can anyone point me in the right direction? My goal is size and because of my schedule 3 or 4 day routines work best for me.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    You probably have no trouble working in 80 because you were in the Marine? (correct or was it something else)
    But don't add any workout unless you are finished cycle 3-4. 80 is too much for me bro. I am a Marine but i have an injury on my right hand 8 years which required 55 stitches and i also damaged 4 tendons. It is hard for me to grip on anything that is heavy..

    I don't think All Pro have any of that split in his intermediate level. His intermediate program is 5x5 which i am currently on also a full body program and you are only allow to hit it 2 days a week.

    Yeah Im on my 4th cycle right now. Working out in the summer is going to be rough, hopefully my gym is going to have AC. Wow, still after 8 years? Be careful with it.

    Great idea. I hate working out with partner because they sometime getting lazy and ditch the workout on ya. I never have any problem with my squat since i start the program except one time prior to start the program and before i know about the ATG. I was doing a quarter squat and accidentally went down too low. It was scary but i let the bar row off my back.

    Here is my suggestion for homemade squat rack. You can use 2x4 and build the stand to support the bar as well as the below part just in case your leg giving up on you and it will catch it. Make sure the base wide enough to prevent it from rocking or fall over

    If you are doing bench press at home alone and it happened to sit on you, just dip one side lower to let the plate slide out and do the other. Been there, done that at 235lbs

    It is permanent bro. I can't fully extend my ring and little fingers. When i make a fist it look funny because that two finger didn't close all the way either but that don't stop me from doing SLDL, Rows and other exercises. But i need to use strap if the weight is greater then 185lbs.

    Summer is tough but drink plenty of water and let it sweat. I will go crazy if i sweat a lot and i will ended up with a whole lot of pain.

    You can add Chin or Dips i like dips more cuz it will help with your bench press. Chin more than likely help with your OHP...

    Maybe this could help with the squats?
    I saw this on utube as a clever work around on a squat that you can do at home, I wonder if all pro might like to have a look to give it the thumbs up or not?

    yes u need to drop the weight so that those days become a light day.
    if u do the same way all 3 weeks, there a possibilities that u cannot recover from it, can u can get stall from the program quite early

    If you want rows and curls to stall and go backwards then sure have it.

    Hi All pro, yesterday i was in the gym trying to figure out my starting weight, i tested it for the Squats, Bench Presses and for the Bent-Over Rows. The rest of the exercises i wanted to test today. I thought trying to figure out all of the weights for all of the exercises in one day would be too much because i never lifted before and wanted to take it easy.

    But one mate told me in this forum that it would be better if i tested it all in one day because that would be better, then i would know how it would feel if i started the actual full body training.

    What do u think? Is it ok to test only 3 exercises for the starting weights or should i test them all?
    Also what would be the maximum amount of sets needed to figure out the 10 repmax? Yesterday i did something like 4 sets for each of the 3 exercises i did, 2 warmup sets, with the 4th set i was feeling i was at my maximum weight.

    Thanks for reading.

    So long as you aren't sore or tired it should be alright.
    You can figure out your rep max in ONE set. Choose a weight. Rep until failure. Use a rep calculator to estimate your 1 rep max. Use 75% of your 1 rep max as your 10 rep max.

    But the amount of reps should not be more then 10 times right? Becuase the rep calculator im using from this site calculates only for maximum 10 reps.

    quick question on the bench press. ive read that after a while you should switch to incline bench press because it hits the top of the chest more how long till you switch if at all?

    There are more effective ways to change the angle of attack and I really can't think of a good reason, barring injury or for recovery purposes for every trading bench press for incline bench press.

    And that's why you don't "collar" your weights when benching alone.

    Go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-repetition_maximum

    Choose a formula (I like to use Brzycki), and plug in all of your values... Then take 75% of what you get.

    It's nice, because you can set up a little excel sheet to do everything for you.

    But what if you are struggling on those last few reps and you are tilting or unsteady? The weights will slide off even tho you can finish.

    If you let the bar dip that low mind as well drop it. I have never seen one let the bar dip so low to the point the weight slide off without purposely doing it. I never put on the collard except on OHP and SLDL...

    I have a couple of questions,

    Does the 4 set scheme mean the 2 warmup sets and the 2 worksets or does it mean 2 warmup sets and 4 worksets?

    Is it detrimental to do cardio and abs on the workout days?

    Lol, I was waiting for someone to pick that one up. The reason I mentioned it actually was just a hint to anyone that drinks beer and is trying to cut, (and I know a few here do) that each beer packs a whopping calorie amount, the bottles I drink are over 250 cals per bottle and contain lots of carbs, I discovered that spirits have 0 carbs so better from that point of view. (drinking neat or with water of course and no junk food munchies)

    I'm not suggesting go get hammered on vodka every night or anything but it's easy to work out the alcohol equivalent of beers to spirits. My swap over, saves me money, calories and I get almost 0 hangover as I drink half pint water with each shot.

    Some very interesting alcohol myth busting in this article:
