Cheers, there is an article on strengtheory about this saying the same thing (if you reset, change the reps and sets). I am thinking how to apply it to my OHP which has stalled at 47.5kg while I was...

I know your struggle man, I have been doing this stuff for over 2.5 years and my OHP is 47.5kg x 4, Squat 107.5kg x 6 and DL 120kg x 1 :'(

Biggest impact I've found is diet, if you don't eat...

Sorry to say, but your lifts are extremely low for 5 months on SL. When I first started lifting I did SS for 6 weeks and got higher numbers than yours in that time. I assume you are not eating...

Very interesting, never seen a program set up like this. I really like auto-reg programs. I am actually currently running Greg Nuckols 3 day beginner programs for OHP, deadlift and squats, which have...

OK got it, cheers mate, good advice as always.

Yeah my bench got screwed since I got tendonitis in my left arm from benching while doing 5/3/1 BBB. I had to stop pressing for over a month I think, so I dropped way back on it, and then I was ill...

Maybe I should play the poverty genetics card then since I've been doing compound lifts for 2.5 years (majority of the time on AllPro or Fierce 5 with a short stint on 5/3/1 BBB for 2 months I think)...

I am running auto-reg on a cut of 1800 calories and I still can't get my weight below 72kg >:(. Been stuck there for like a month now, wtf. I have "cheat" days once or twice a week but it's nothing...

Yeah the auto reg one is kind of tricky, I've been doing it for a few months on a cut and you are putting in max effort every time you go to gym since there are no deloads. I got an enforced one by...

OK thanks mate. Yeah I always thought that about rows! Pretty much every other movement you can feel or see when your form has broken down, but with rows since you are looking at the floor you can't...

nightanole, do you have any recommendation for an alternative to barbell rows? I've actually being doing Pendlay rows and just tweaked my back today :(. Something similar happened a while back, but...

Thanks for this, I'm also considering the 3 day version once I'm bored with AllPro auto-regulated. I will either do this or grouchy's powerbuilder routine since I like basic compound routines. I...

After a few sessions of adding a 3rd set of 6 reps to my squats, I was able to increase them to 90kg for 2x12 after being stuck at 90kg for 10,9 for a few weeks. Thanks for the suggestion nightanole!...

Ah OK cool, so it's definitely always 4,3,2,1 after the AMRAP set. Got it, cheers!

I was referring to an 8,7,6,5,4 scenario since I saw in a workout log someone did 8,4,3,2,1 and I was a bit confused. I thought part of the auto-regulation was that if you were able to do 8 reps at a...

No if you did 10 reps you'd just do 9,8,7,6 innit? ;) It's 5 working sets with each set 1 rep less than the previous one.

I just wanted to clarify this 5+,4,3,2,1 progression since I just saw in someone's workout log he did 8 reps of squats on his first (AMRAP) set, but he still did 4,3,2,1 on the next sets. My...

Cool, I'll try that. I assume the same weight for the 3rd set?

Regarding the order of exercises, it's a funny one. Usually I do squat,OHP, bench, rows then SLDL, but yesterday I did rows, OHP,...

Ah OK, cheers, that was the idea I'm following - I do at least as many reps as I did previously and more when I can, so even on 1800 calories I've managed to progress on some lifts over time. Just my...

Is there any harm in spinning your wheels for ages on the auto-reg version (cutting)? Today I finally went up in bench, rows and SLDL but my squat has been the same for 3 weeks now. Isn't it bad to...
