Finally made my first hundred by doing my own work, lets goooo

how much are you cutting to? I think 180 is a good weight to be at. Right now, your strength is really suffering from cutting lol.

170, I’d still be the strongest in the weight class if i lost a ton of strength. I probably wont from here on out because of how we’re changing the training. My deadlifts gone nuts lately if you havent noticed, and we think its because thats how I respond best. Ill post what all the days will look like now if theres interest in that

I would be interested. I am always intrigued by your training but can’t quite figure it out.

When i feel i get to a certain level of strength i would like to try something similar to this. Don’t get me wrong i like ws4sb3 but in the end my goal is to be as strong as possible not have a 50’’ box jump lol. I like how you have a core lift everyday and assistance around it. i tried something like this before but maxed to often and burned out.

I think your deadlift is improving better than all your other lifts is because your usual top working set is with a high rep/high intensity weight, and for most people, deadlift works best that way.

If it’s problems with the program you are doing, maybe consider upping your volume for Bench and Squat. Squatting once a week with just one top set isn’t enough, I suggest you do 3x5. The 5 counts paused squat is good but it won’t be necessary if you do 3x5, save time and get more work done. Also, maybe considering squatting twice a week, fit another squatting session in your upper body session somewhere.

For bench, are you doing the 10 sets of singles to get better at doing a 1RM? I dnt really understand the logic behind it since I’ve never done it but it doesnt seem to be working for you. Maybe consider 1x3 followed by 2x5 or 1xAMRAP? Or maybe just 3x5? And I’d focus on my Front delts strength, get it to 135 and your bench will be guaranteed above 200.

Concerning your weight, which weight class do you want to fit into? If you’d like to prioritize wrestling then by all means, but I don’t think wrestlers are weak, including the ones in the 170 weight class.
