I will say to look into Madcow or 5/3/1....5/3/1 for powerlifting also, if you have an interest in powerlifting.

I watched the beginning of the video - about 2 minutes - and the guys I saw are powerlifters. You referenced strongman training in your original post. The training is different for strongman than PL. Yes, there is crossover. Atlas stones, yoke, tire flip, keg toss, Conan's wheel, Farmer's Walk, etc are all SM type events. Dead, squat and bench are PL.

There is plenty of info on this site for Madcow or the 5/3/1. 5/3/1 also has books you can purchase...which I recommend. After you decide on a program head on over to the nutrition section so you can get assistance figuring out the best macro/micro plan so you can eat correctly.

Keep us updated on your progress.

Yes Powerlifting like the guy in the video, that's the type of strength training i am aiming for, doing big DL's, Squats, bench and getting a overall massive strength like that guy. Madcow you say for this type of objective?

I am not going to lie and say you're numbers are high became they are not, but there is nothing wrong with that because this only means they can only go up.

If you're able and willing, I'd look into 5/3/1 Powerlifting and then compliment it with Boring But Big or assistance exercises that suit your needs.

But remember to see true results you'll need to stick with this program for a solid 6 months. Going program to program every month because you're not seeing results isn't going to help you (not saying you will).

You gotta look at what you want as Madcow might be to much for you - not sure how your recovery is, your diet etc...

Yeah about recovery... if i get too sore at first, should i still workout sore or what?

Its hard for me to answer that. There is a difference between muscle soreness and pain. I mean there are days when I go in and I'm sore from previous days lift but after some mobility work (30 minutes) I'm okay to do the work I need to do.

For you, you may want to try an every other day approach for the first 3 weeks and see how that goes.

So many things factor into recovery though. Diet. Sleep. Fish Oil. Mobility/Foam Rolling. Water.

Look into 5/3/1 either the regular or Powerlifting and then Boring But Big. Run that for a while or find something you'll enjoy.

531 for powerlifting has a very slow progression programmed into it. You could speed this up I suppose but since your lifts are still relatively low you should start a program that is for people with relatively low lifts. 531 is better suited to intermediate+ lifters in my opinion. If I were you, I would run Starting Strength as long as possible until you've milked all your linear gains which could take quite a while. When you reached that point then you should swap to something like madcows or the Texas Method that has a weekly progression. Once you run into a wall with that then 531 would be more appropriate seeing as how it progresses in small increments monthly.

Exactly as you said. From daily to weekly, montly......If one stops go to the other.
