ive been thinking about it.. its just my squat is going up really fast on this program... and just kinda wana keep gaining on it... I might do his 6 week program then just continue with the linear progression for squats or something...

If it aint broke dont change it brah! milk it milk milk it

this is the 315

325.. definitely the longest rep of my life.

Form definitely wasn't beautiful on either... but I got em...

[AlacrityH]

Form may not have been pretty, but the depth was sure enough an easy white light.

What routine are you currently running? The volume and overall tonnage seems on the very low side for your squats and bench....

[ErikTheElectric]

Squats were burroofiiill.


Nice work, champ.

I've been running canditos linear program... But it's set up isn't really optimal for me... So I've changed a few things mostly upper body wise...

Had to cut the workout short today.. gotta finish packing for college..

[AlacrityH]

My point was you can't just push singles every session and expect to progress consistently brah

[hostelmaniac]

My point was you can't just push singles every session and expect to progress consistently brah

aka dont test your strength, build your strength....submaximally

[Truebmxer01]

My point was you can't just push singles every session and expect to progress consistently brah

that's true.. ill definitely back off of the singles and doubles.. And ease into a slower progression for bench.. but ive been progressing linearly on squats for several months so im just gonna stick to the 3x6 that canditos linear program calls for.. ill change up what ive been doing for deadlifts too..

aka dont test your strength, build your strength....submaximally

yea, ill definitely be changing it up.. just wanted to test my strength before I head up to college and start my next program.
