    12-Week Shortcut To Size

    After having some issues last year, got sick end of last year really bad, just didn't have the energy for the heavy 5/3/1 stuff right now, and also hurting some joints on trying the lower / heavy rep routines, I am gonna try a lighter / higher rep routine for three months

    I just ran Grey Skull for 8 weeks, and before that ran the 5/3/1 Monolith for 6 weeks, and 5/3/1 BBB for 8 weeks before that, but I don't think my lifts were heavy enough for me to benefit from the 5/3/1 type of program yet.

    Going to try this, after reading some good things about it;
    http://www.gym-talk.com/workout-revi...rtcut-to-size/

    Here's the routine;

    12-Week Shortcut To Size
    http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/shortcut-to-size.html


    My currently adjust lifts are pretty weak, but want to start off extra light now;

    I am 42 years old, 5'11" tall, and weight 185lbs

    Bench Press = 200lbs 1RM
    Deadlift = 280lbs 1RM
    OH Press = 140lbs 1RM
    Squat = 300lbs 1RM

    Week 1 @ 45% of 1RM = 12-15 reps + 15 second rest pause on final set
    Week 2 @ 55% of 1RM = 9 - 11 reps + 15 second rest pause on final set
    Week 3 @ 75% of 1RM = 6 - 8 reps + 25% drop set immediately on final set
    Week 4 @ 85% of 1RM = 3 - 5 reps + 25% drop set immediately on final set

    Thanks for following up. I took your advice and will run this for the 12 week run.

    I like it, but sometimes feel only doing Bench, or Squats, or OH Press once a week may not be enough ? But I'm doing the progression week after week per the program, and only into this three weeks so far.

    These high 15 reps were brutal again, after the last couple of weeks of the low reps heavier weight. I definitely needed to take longer rests between sets, on these 15 reps, like 90 - 120 seconds between each set.
