    As human beings we tend to like the familiar so we stick to what we know, even when its not always what we want so I hear ya on the "repetitive cycle" thing.

    In regards to the split - I'd be interested in seeing it.
    It's the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing again and again expecting a different outcome.

    So, the program! Taken from Paul Carter's Strength Life and Legacy book. He writes the lift run bang blog. I won't be doing this for a couple of months at least, until I finish this cut and I can eat for mass again.

    1-on 1-off intermediate routine

    Day 1 - Upperbody
    Bench Press - 5,4,3,2,1 - 1x8-12 back off
    Incline Press - 1x5, 1x8-12
    T-Bar Rows - 1x20
    Weighted Chins - 5,4,3,2,1, 1x3-5, 1xmax reps w body

    Day 2 - lower body and abs
    Squats - 5,4,3,2,1, 1x15-20
    1-Legged Squats - 5x10
    Leg Curls - 1x10-10-10 strip set (go to failure, strip weight off, repeat, etc)
    Calf Raises - 3x15
    Ab Wheel - 3 sets of 10

    Day 3 - Upperbody
    Press Behind the Neck or Standing Press - 4x8-10 for PBN and 5,4,3,2,1, 1x3-5 for standing press
    Dips - bodyweight 4 sets of max reps
    Deadlifts - 5,4,3,2,1,1,1, 1x3
    Shrugs - 1x5, 1x20

    Day 4 - lower body and abs
    Front Squat - 5,4,3,3,3
    Leg Press - 1x50
    Calf Raises - 3x15
    Decline Sit-Ups - 3xmax reps

    Something I do too is just follow a simple strength program (for me that's 531/351) and then do all your assistance work with hypertrophy in mind. For me assistance can be complimentary excersizes (close grip bench, dumbbell press, rows, good mornings etc) or even just the basic lifts for some larger sets. I have been doing it a lot for my upperbody recently in the hope that it can catch up to my legs/back. I have about 5kg leeway in my division to play with too

    Best of both worlds.
    I feel you on the upper body thing. My bench didn't do alot with 3x5 so I probably need to take that approach too when I get my numbers back up.

    531/351 is a great program, for advanced lifters looking for strength increases and intermediate lifters looking to work on hypertrophy while slowly getting stronger. I guess you'd fall in the 2nd camp?

    And I suppose that's the camp I'm in too, but I'm leaning towards Paul Carter's split. I respect both Carter and Wendler's knowledge equally, and they both share the same ideals, even use very similar programming methods and percentages, but Carter's split would allow me to add weight every week.

    I'm still gonna be hitting a nice single in the big lifts before doing the back off sets and higher rep work, so according to him, there is still enough emphasis on strength. I'm not sure what percentages he wants people to use. He has said that Intermediates should be training at a slightly higher intensity than advanced lifters so I guess I'll take his advanced percentages (very similar to 531) and add a few percent. Maybe I'll email him, he's always good for a reply from what I gather.

    Yeah I am in the second camp. When I am training steadily my squat and dead just keep flying up but my bench is slowwwww. I reckon for long arms I need a fair bit of size on them to help my bench along.

    LOWER

    color code:
    blue = pr and completed all reps
    red = fail


    SQUAT
    10 x 20kg
    5 x 40
    5 x 60
    3 x 80
    1 x 105
    5 x 115
    5 x 115
    4 x 115


    DEADLIFT
    3 x 100kg DOH
    2 x 120 DOH
    5 x 140kg

    COMMENTS
    Squats had alot of forward lean on the later reps. While these squat shoes have stopped me coming up on my toes it seems the weight keeps falling forward still. I'm gonna go for 5x5x112.5 for Monday's VD and probably stay at that weight for a while until everything feels tight.

    Remember I said my right glute was aching after max deadlifts? Well it was aching again after my warm ups so I done a conservative working set. Was quite challenging but ok. Just gonna work my way up slowly from here.

    Basically, I'm dropping the weights back a bit on both of these. Just gotta keep training through this cut and try not to think of numbers too much.

    Nah they're the same shoes but I felt like my form was awful the other day. Some guy commented that I was leaning over too much as well and that I should drop the weight. He actually annoyed me but he kinda had a point.

    Yeah I'm hoping the glute holds up. I never foam roll. Maybe I should? I'm a bit worried that I'm gonna be an injury prone lifter with all these injuries I'm sustaining.

    Yeah, dude, start foam rolling. Everyone eventually starts, and a few weeks after they do, they feel like a moron for not starting the foam rolling sooner.

    Ginja - if you're going to do an upper lower split, why not do a 4 day split of PHAT.

    I think it's much better than the routine you posted above.

    I think it's much better than the routine you posted above.
    A 4 day split would be slightly more time in the gym. I'll give it a look though. I like the look of the split. It's got a good blend of size and strength but maybe I should look at alternatives too. I'm a big fan of his blog so I sort of 'believe' in the program already if that makes sense?

    Conditioning

    RPM Class

    Went to a cycling class this morning with my GF. Actually really enjoyed it and I was surprised by my recovery ability and stamina. It's basically an hour of cycling on a spin bike at various intensities to dog awful music. Might do this again!

    Lets hope 36 hours is enough time to recover for that TM time tomorrow night

    I've been doing cycling classes like once a week. Good stuff. Great for your heart.

    My instructor was crazy!

    She typically goes a bit longer than we're supposed to.

    You'll prolly be good to go for TM

    Just had a quick flick through the last week or so of your thread, it looks like I've missed a lot. First of all, nice work on the deadlift singles, I think I remember chatting to you about them months ago so I'm glad you gave it a try, they are fun I'll also echo what dk240t said about foam rolling, he recommended it to me ages ago and I don't know how I'd cope without it, it's invaluable for helping me keep in good enough shape to lift regularly and helped me overcome a hip injury I used to have. Give it a go, it hurts like hell at first but it's VERY beneficial.

    Thanks! They are fun but I don't plan on making a habit of it. It's quite risky

    I'm researching the foam rolling now. I'm gonna buy one very soon.

    COMMENTS
    Squats felt much better tonight. I didn't get much sleep either. Maybe all the calories over the weekend gave me some strength back. Maybe the end of year maxing took more out of me than I thought. Maybe it's just because I dropped the weight 5kg. I really don't know.

    Elbows started hurting on Tri Ext. so I quit the last set.

    Gonna repeat the Row weight which was a slightly messy 5x5 PR.

    PCs are not going well. They need more frequency than I've been giving them. Now I'm back on that TM time I should be more consistent. I'm also gonna go back to triples so I can practice more reps.

    Fuc*ed. Good fuc*ked.

    Lotsa volume.

    Good to see a PR on Rows even after the whole maxing sessions and inconsistency.

    Love to see the face pulls in there - shoulder health FTW . I hear ya on the cleans tho - I tried them the other day and had no power output, but it was after a session of DE squats and bench pressses to be fair lol.
