The first sets are meant to be the warm up you will see they don't change throughout the program. However... me being a cautious kunt when it comes to my shoulders and chest I always do full shoulder warm up and then I usually do the bar for 10-15 reps and then 60kg x 8-10 reps - but obviously use whatever is your 50% of working max.
Although you can gain strength on a cut I personally wouldn't attempt this program whilst cutting due to the high level of frequency and intensity, you may find that you can't recover fast enough between the days and you miss reps etc. Although this is a strength program it definitely helps with growth too.
Thanks bro, his first name is Mike if that makes it sound less anime! Squats have improved since doing BBB sets... wouldrecommend/10

Cheers for the info man. Being a man that hates doing warm ups I would probably stick to just what the programme sets out. I hear what your saying about the cut but im not afraid of a bit of intensity, I was working out 6 days a week at one stage before for months, I was advised to cut it back which was good advise. Recovery is the only problem :/
Im going to be cutting into the new year, probably half of next year so im kinda cornered. Im going benching now today and see how it goes. If its another disaster Ill have to make a decision on this programme. Great timing by you just starting this week ha, cheers for that ;pLast edited by Celtic8Laoch; 11-22-2012 at 05:31 AM.

You know it bro
No problemo. It's not about "being afraid" of the intensity it is the fact that over 9 weeks, you are expecting to gain muscle and strength in order to increase your 1RM. On a cut, your ability to do that is greatly reduced. By all means try it out I am not one for never trying but I will just say you may find you struggle part way through."Ain't nothing to it but to do it"

CHEAP PLATE = MO' WEIGHT!
I did honestly next to no cardio other than the 10 mins I warm up with. I got into doing some jogging over summer and very rarely hopped on my bike for 40 mins but I kept it to a minimum because I don't like doing it. I enjoy skipping but it's too wet to do it outside, wet leather rope is not good.

They all weigh over 45lbs lol. Dat positive tolerance. I used to record them as 45lb plates in my last log but since I started doing my log in KG for ease I couldn't be assed to tally up the 0.4 on each one. For me it just means if I ever had to hit a gym that had genuine 20kg plates I would find it easier :P
Probably why that 100kg felt lighter when I was down in Dorset, those where York Barbell Plates."Ain't nothing to it but to do it"

Didnt kill it, didnt kill it at all man. I had to move my setup due to wind issues. I wasnt using the bench that im used to. What I had was those height adjustable squat stands and a incline/decline bench I bought in argos some time ago. Long story short I didnt feel at all comfortable doing it in my new set up, I felt cramped at my elbos and the ****ing weight plates were hitting off the sides of the squat stands on the way down and threw me completely off.
Pissed off now, that was the third week on 90 and I got 4,3,2 hitting the damn sides everytime. Now I dont know whether to do macenko or try the old bench next week one last time to see if I get this blasted 90 3x5. Rest of the workout was great.One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life.

Yeah your right, im just literally after coming in and still in a huff over it. Said im come on here and wreck your head about it haha. Feck sake a month is too long at any weight for my liking. I tell you this I will never forget the time I was stuck @ 90kg for bench. Its my first lifts thats stalled, you always remember your first!!
On the plus side, im pushing just over you in OHP...runs away before you can compare your other lifts...One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life.

Hah I am not here to compare dick sizes. There will always be someone bigger and stronger than you no matter how strong you get, so it's best to be happy with your own progress.
But to go back to that, I find it strange that you can OHP more than what I am doing (today 60kg x 9, 1RM was 70kg the other day) and yet you are struggling with your bench? Do you have any videos of you benching? I feel maybe your arch might not be optimal or you may not be bringing your triceps into the lift enough? Usually people can bench substantially more than they can OHP (provided they train both ofc)"Ain't nothing to it but to do it"

Ahh its just 1.5kg more than ya and I was just busting your balls.
I dunno im not an expert bencher so im sure theres something im doing wrong. I will try and take a video next week with my pos camera phone. In saying that do some peoples lifts are weaker in some areas and better in others. I dunno just a thought, my bench might not be that good compared to my ohp, the video will decide.
And by the way my dick is 3 inches...off the ground...oh no he didnt!!One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life.

[QUOTE=Celtic8Laoch;983010223] And how longs ya legs? 4 inches?
I hear what you say regarding over lifts been lower etc but in reality you can compare deads and squats / OHP and Bench. Generalllllly people can Deadlift more than they can squat and Bench Press more than they can OHP. Shoulders are generally not as strong as the Chest, they are not as big a muscle. Commonly, OHP would be the weakest lift for most people.
That being said there are exceptions (you of course) I have spoke with people that specifically train Bench Press for example and cannot squat or dead to save their lives. Or vice versa, I know some one who focuses on nothing but squats and deads primarily and his Bench is very weak in comparison and it will be his weak point at a meet. And I know people that are crazy strong on OHP but don't ever Bench because they don't want to (for some unknown reason). These are exceptions but usually the case would be Dead > Squat > Bench > OHP
A video would be good, getting the setup / arch right, shoulder pinching, tucking the elbows in all makes the biggest difference. You may find your form is a few tweaks out and it could add literally 10kg to your max."Ain't nothing to it but to do it"
