Hey guys,

How are you doing?

I read the WS4BB template, and put this together:

ME Deadlift (1 x 3 100% ME, 2 x 3 >90% 3RM)
Hyperextension 3x10-12
Leg Curl 3x10-12 (no GHR)
Leg Press Calf Raise 3x10-12
Cable Crunch 3x10-12

Tuesday:

ME Bench Press (1 x 3 100% ME, 2 x 3 >90% 3RM)
Barbell Row 4x6
Incline Dumbell Press 3x6
Pulldown 4x6
Side Lateral Raise 3x8
Skull Crusher 3x8

Thursday:

RE Squat 5x5
RE Deadlift 5x5
Hyperextension 3x10-12
Leg Curl 3x10-12 (no GHR)
Seated Calf Raise 3x10-12
Crunch 3x10-12

Friday

RE Bench Press 5x5
Pulldown 4x10
Shoulder Press 3x8
Chest Supported Dumbell Row 4x10
Shrug 3x8
Barbell Curl 3x8


I think it looks good on "paper", but would be interested in your feedback

The 5x5 Squats/Deads will be done with a straight weight, but won't be done THAT heavy. It is mainly being done just to increase my volume on the main lifts, and help build some muscle.

I am only an intermediate, and I don't really like lifting plans (5x5 etc). Please don't get me wrong, they sound like awesome programs (from feedback etc), but I just like more variety in my training.

I am not arrogant or anything, so all feedback is welcomed and will be taken note of.

Thanks in advance

Deadlifting twice a week? IDK anything about westside but that doesn't look right.

Your kidding right?

Is your journal a joke? squatting 55kgs for reps?

YOU ARE A BEGINNER

[3rd pull]

you will probably be spent after the ME squats on day 1. i'm not so sure about doing ME deads right after.

and if endpoint is right about the 55kgs you could always just go with a much simpler program and still see great results and save yourself the time of thinking up a new complicated program.

i would alternate teh ME squat with the dead, and replace the lift you arent doing ME with with a heavish alternative

I know you dont like the idea, but right now for your current strength levels, you need something like 5x5.

I know you think its boring, but once you get up there...and UNDERSTAND how your body works, you can progress to WS4SB....and once you have mastered that, then you can start writing programs
