Personally I wouldn’t think about hypertrophy layers or Indigo workouts until you’ve lifted your way out of beginner status with at least a 315 squat, 405 deadlift, 225 bench, and 185 press.[/quote]
I don’t have any of those numbers and used the layers/indigo workouts to success in my last physique comp. Perhaps adjusted for height…
And if you get stronger on the main lifts while practicing them often (which layers does) and sensibly (ramp up CNS/back off work with heavy weight) which layers does, why not do them[/quote]
I think that body weight has to be factored in to some extent. if you are 150 those lifts are pretty darn strong and fairly advanced for a natural trainee, but if you are 220 they are what I would say average (except for the 185lbs press, which is pretty strong if done strictly)
