Hi CT,
I’m still a beginner, training eight months, only been in a gym for 2 1/2 (started with bodyweight & light pressing at home, couldn’t afford membership at time and only had dumbbells). 175 bench max, 105 overhead press max. Not sure on my bent over barbell row max but I can find out. Deadlift.. max I’ve pulled is 255, however, my form was sloppy on it so I consider 230 my Max because I can pull that with good form (I’ll calculate numbers from 230 unless suggested otherwise). Was wondering if you recommend this program for someone like me?
A side note, if I’m being honest, I’ve neglected legs compared to everything else. Been doing strength oriented lifting, using your wave ladder template mostly. Nutrition can be in line, though I’ve been slacking if I’m honest. No excuses though, I’ll get it in line. Rest and recovery is on point, I stopped drinking, staying out late, etc, etc…
My goals are fat loss, strength gains and whatever physique comes with those. I need a strength base before I worry about anything else.
If this program isn’t something you recommend, what would you recommend? I haven’t missed a gym day since I joined (3 days a week minimum, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Can commit and stay with six a week like the program recommends)
Also, instead of two sessions a day can I do the forty minute recommendation every morning six days a week? Would that be too much , especially with ending every session with weighted carries and sled drags (which I do now)?
I probably seem all over the place, too much going through my head. Thank you in advance for any advice, CT!
