Gonna be incredibly hard on my mind not going for PR, we see how it goes ^[1]

Look at the big picture and why we plan training. For example:

3-6 weeks - Forever BBB
Next 3-6 weeks - SSL, 5’s PRO, with jokers on week 6
Next 3-6 weeks - Spinal Remains SVR (not the challenge Spinal Remains) or FSL/jokers on 3 and 6

With this we now have a complete and easy program that covers a lot of ground.

We keep jumps/throws, conditioning constant - perhaps tweaking the conditioning work for Forever BBB to only AirDyne work for recovery (5 days/week). I try to keep the M/L/H throughout the training cycle. What this does is allow me (who is the “coach”) to easily monitor and adjust. Once I learned to do this, programming became much easier. The more things that remain constant in the MLH format, the easier it is for me to see what is working and what isn’t. The problem people have and I had is that they introduce too many variables and don’t understand what is or isn’t working.

This easy model has allowed me to really hone in on perfecting a standard model. For most people, this works extremely well. Im just lucky I get to experiment on people.

Also - none of this shit works if you don’t recover. Too many people have eating disorders that are borderline dangerous and take pride in not sleeping.
