I heard Brenden is nine feet tall and his most-muscular pose scared even Markus Ruhl. Apparently, he is dry-to-the bone and shredded like Dexter Jackson and has the back of Dorian Yated and the Legs of Tom Platz. He also out-lifts most SHW powerlifters.

And Bradford presses were WAY harder than I thought.
Yeah, bradford presses are very tough. I did them for a cycle, then I left them alone and came back to them a few months after to find very little progress, despite my other shoulder presses going up.
Does a behind the neck press use the rear delts more? I geuss that would explain it.[/quote]
I don’t think it does. I think it’s that Bradford Presses keep te stress on your shoulder where on normal shoulder presses eventually the load is transferred to your ticeps.

Again this went great. I originally guessed too high on the hack squats but was able to adjust and I think I hit the right weight. I could use more weight on the hyperextensions, DB rows, and reverse curls. After I decrease the rest period next week each one will definitely get at least 10lbs.
Hey Brendan, just read some of this thread for the first time, freakin good work man! I wish I had been as dedicated, hardworking and well informed at your age!
Question for you since you have quite some experience with HSS-100:
Do you think it is possible to get 2 training days per muscle group a week using 2-a-days with HSS-100?
Do you think you could recover fast enough?
How would you group each muscle group between days and AM/PM?

The only way I could see it being possible would be if you only did it for large bodyparts and then did a few supplemental exercises for things like delts, arm etc.
Mon AM - Chest
Mon PM - Back
Tue AM - Quads
Tue PM - Hamstrings/Lower Back
Wed OFF
Thu AM - Chest
Thu PM - Back
Fri AM - Quads
Fri PM - Hamstrings/Lower Back
Sat/Sun OFF
Do delt and tri work after chest sessions. Bi work after back sessions. Calf work after quads and ab work after hamstrings/lower back.
I would only do that if you had a lot of time to recover. (I.E. get a nap during the day)
Do something like streches, foam rolling, CNS showers and meditation between sessions.

This session took way longer than it should have because I was messsing around trying to find an alternative to floor presses. It’s a lot harder to get the dumbbells up. I’m pretty sure I could’ve done like the 85s but I couldn’t get them up. Does anyone have any tips? I guessed way too heavy for the push0presses. I’ll have to lower that weight because I’m not sure I’ll ever get there during this program. The floor presses, standing calf raises and ling leg curls were too light.
Basically, just wrong weight guesses that is to be expected on the frist run through a program. I’ll bounce back.
