A Friendly Challenge - Battling Program ADD

So it shouldn’t really be an issue for you. It’s mostly for those of us who are easily distracted by the latest and greatest…mostly working on improving discipline by sticking with something for a few months.

Yer just have to stick to a program. For those of us who has someone else do their programs, we just have to do what we aren’t told !! And no skipping sessions.

Decided on my #committed plan:
Will finish off 531 bbb 3 month challenge by end of September, then for the rest of the year will run 531 fsl for main lifts, with assistance work similar to bbb but with exercises swapped out.

A
Press 531 fsl ss chin/pullups
Incline Db bench ss Db rows
Chest isolation ss shoulder isolation
Dips, curls, facepulls.

B
Deadlift 531 fsl
Legpress
Ghr
Calves

C
Bench 531 fsl ss Tbar row
Db seated shoulder press ss chins/pullups
Chest isolation ss shoulder isolation
Dips, curls, face pulls.

D
Squat 531 fsl
Rdl
Glute drive
Calves

Conditioning will probably ramp up towards December as holiday nears and fat loss slows.

Well if we can have our programming done for us, then I’m in, at least until Panora’s programming kills me, then I won’t have to worry about it anyway, ha.

I’m taking the out and changing - I’m going back to a John Meadows program. It ain’t broke, I won’t break myself

I’m 7 weeks in to my Doggcrapp training, still running it without any modification…although I think my biceps and triceps respond better to more volume rather than the failure with RP.

I’m posting this a day early to account for time differences.

It’s Go a Time!

You have about 48 hours to submit your plan. We don’t need every set, rep, and detail. Just post the name of your program and the goal. If it’s your own program then give it a name!

Example: Brian Alsruhe’s Power Building program with the goal of size and strength (in that order)

Again, no need for all of us to post the details here. Post the details in your training log and make sure the log is tagged with “committed”. That will give us a way to see who is in the challenge and check up on one another.

I know some of you have already posted your plan. Just give me another post saying you’re in and add your goals.

Program: Loganator’s Operation Legatron (LOL for short)

Basically double progression with 3 working sets for most movements.

Goal: get bigger, mostly in the legs. Also, figure out how to use my hamstrings.

Program:
John Meadows’ Creeping Death II

Goals:
Aesthetic. I’m gaining weight right now, but I have a fat level I’m not willing to go over so I’ll probably pull back on calories in a few weeks.

Program: The “I know better than Jim Wendler” 5/3/1 remix

Program: @isdatnutty 's Beginner Program, slightly adjusted assistance work due to current strength levels.

Goal: Mostly strength, but size, conditioning, and fat loss are welcome. Improve everything, haha.

Maxer powerlifting routine (Danish powerlifting coach, program that followed his book)
Basically 4 days a week, everyday SBD, one day the competition lifts, the other days variations. Linear progression.
Will end it in start/mid december.
IF I absolutely loves it, and I’ve been given the strength of gods, I’ll start over. If not I’ll start something like @isdatnutty s beginner program with double progression.

Squats and Curls Off-season.

Program I wrote myself, 8 weeks ascending intensity hypertrophy block and 8 week strength block. borrowing strongly from the GZCL programs for the last 8 weeks.

Challenge for me is to see out the hypertrophy block.

I’ve consulted with @cdmac24 and we’ve decided to run my Brian Alsruhe inspired program. I shared it in my log a few days ago. Giant sets, supersets, and conditioning.

@cdmac24 and I are going to try to be long distance training partners. Don’t hate on our bromance.

My goal is performance. I want to improve my conditioning, add a couple grams of muscle, and get stronger.

But first, I need to rebuild my shoulder and get back to my pre-surgery size and strength. Stupid biceps tenodesis procedure…
