My bench has lagged for 4 years.
This year I added a close grip bench to strengthen my triceps. That seemed to help.

But I agree with the form comment.

I after 4 years of vain effort, I just...

I agree,

When I first started, I went on the Over35 forum on this site and every one of them went, What special programming???

They were adamant that you should follow a regular program, but...

I have been doing it for over 6 months and I love it. Its 531, so you can do pretty much want you want. Hard to find it boring in my opinion.

I prefer to do a reverse on the BBB. I think its...

This is right on. I started at 54 and it made a huge difference in my well being. Never give up, never surrender.

I’ve had lots of trouble with that also. I call it dead leg syndrome.
They just feel weak and rubbery. I don’t even train hard compared to most of you guys.

What I did, and it seems to work so...

Yeah, unless I am squatting, I don't really sweat much.
Still feel like a shower after, but I am not close to soaking wet, unless I am doing one of those aerobatic weight training tapes that have...

5/3/1 BBB version, doing the BBB lift on different days of the primary lift. So 5/3/1 bench monday, and BBB bench friday, as an example

That;s what I do full body with extra exercises to fit my...

Hi,

I am sure I read about this somewhere, but I cant seem to find anything valuable.

My biggest problem with leg workouts is what I call dead legs.

After awhile and especially when I go up...

Some good advice here.

You don't have to be scared, you just have to have respect for the lifts.

Do not go macho and you will be fine. Lots of great videos out there on these lifts.

I have...

The settings for the assistance exercise can be change in the settings if you prefer a % base setup. Personally, I prefer to manually manage and update them myself.

I have spent 3 hours training my left bicep, but after that the beer bottle is too heavy and I have to use a can instead.

Yeah, I just use the bar, but I go at a higher speed to properly warm up the body.

My basic routine is
Quick stretching, mainly to stretch my shoulders and arms.
(All with the barbell)
20...

It ends up being a lot of volume actually. I enjoyed it for 6 months.
Works as well as any other program out there,
I did not find it was better then anything else however.
Neat excel file.
No...

I don't think you can do a compound exercise justice in 10 minutes without ending up hurting yourself. It takes that long just to warm you up.

but, to each his own. Anything that gets you moving...

All depends on what you want to achieve. I started out doing 10 minutes workout and all you really get is a pump and that makes you feel good, but it's pretty much worthless. It helps your form a...

Yeah, same here.

More power to you then,

I don't think I would last very long doing 2 / 531 in in a row.

:-)

I like the setup, seems good.

I like it and for full body, I think the number of exercises is good.

I just don't see why you are running two 531's in the same workout.

Why not do 531 BBB instead, plus your other exercises....

failing on the 531

Recovery is starting to be an issue, but also, I am already past the max I have ever done by 10 to 15 pounds.

So I am happy with the results, but I am pretty sure I am at my limit for adding...
