I feel a little pressure on choosing my program. In stuck with it for four months
 I hope I don’t pick wrong! :laughing:

That’s it! I like the 5/3/1 Hardgainer program but I don’t think I can go 4 months without using my trap bar :rofl:
It’s my favorite toy

Use it for squats or deads.

A month or so ago I decided to run DC training for a whole year while trying to get big (or bigger).

Knowing that I stuck to variations or 531 for years I’ll easily smash a year on one trading programme.

Would be funny if a designated poster was to give you your program.

Sort of like a ‘secret lifter’

I actually think this is a pretty amusing idea. We could have a pool of volunteers who want to do this version?

@TrainForPain I already knew what I was going to do, but I’d do it.

This sounds like a fun idea. A lot of the folks interested in this have a training log too, so people can use that as reference and choose a training program that takes people out of their comfort zone.

The only issue I see is that you may get a program that you shouldn’t do because of some existing injury/condition/etc.

This is fair, but volunteers could probably throw a goal and constraint up. Not 5 pages of insanity, but you could say “I just want to lose 10 lbs of fat and I’ve had a hip replacement” and we’d know not to give you a Sheiko squat program

Most posters have no idea how to drop fat or train themselves, I would not trust them to choose a program for someone else.

@Frank_C I had a similar idea to this after you and @isdatnutty completed CTs program. That was to start a thread where all involved did the same program from start to finish. That way people could push each other, with the added benefit that individuals would get a glimpse into how hard they really do train. You can not have excuses when everyone is doing the same thing.

I understand that, but they’re picking the program; not designing it.

I’m just voting in - if there’s enough folks that like @ChongLordUno’s musing above, I think it has entertainment value. If not, that’s also no loss. I still am on board with the compliance goal either way.

How would we decide who picks who?

57

Just list all the names that opt in in one post and you choose for the next name down (bottom chooses for top)?

Pretty sure my “insanity list” would be too long
lol
So, I cyphered out what this thing is going to look like.
Do we know what the tag is for our logs? Because my dumpster fire starts tomorrow.
