Okay havent read the article but just the title "strength training for women"and given hugh is a guy well lolā¦
How bout⦠Instead of doing the AMRAP, you just set a fixed number and get that instead? Or maybe reverse calculate using a 1rm calculator or something⦠Programs arenāt set in stone.
Thanks for all the suggestions guy I appreciate it.
Decided against Hepburn as donāt like the look of either plan for myself.
Trained after having a deload.
Deadlift
Retackled that 160 cunt and got 4 for a meaty PR
Jefferson Rack Pull
100 for a few trying these out
Did some single leg leg presses and that was it.
I do a version of Hepburn, but I donāt like any of the plans laid out. I just take the principals and apply it to training. But I think if Hepburn, Ditillo and the other old heads saw how I trained, theyād shit themselves due to the sheer lack of rest periods and high rep accessory work.
How I like to train is just to just heavy for Prās and some rep work.
Bad idea. Youāll very quickly get to a point where those PRs dry up and you start accumulating injuries.
Training is about getting better, not setting heavy PRs. Thatās testing. If you continually test, you will stop getting better quite quickly. If you do want to continually set PRs, you should probably consider WS4SB because that does afford you the opportunity to set PRs while cycling variations.

Your squat is looking really good.
Thanks man Iāve been working hard on the form since you gave me that advice and it feels a lot better
Good. Youāve got a real groove going there. Next step, get that for all your big lifts. Itās the groove thatāll let you keep adding weight.

Videos
170 x 2, speed of floor was ok but slows down above knees
Last set of 140 triples
That looked decent. Work on your glutes, your speed past the knees will improve.
Thanks, what would you recommend Iāve done a lot of hip thrusts of all types but didnāt help my lockout much .
Sumo block pulls, lunges, 45 degree back raises, snatch grip DL.
Also, instead of leaning/sitting back when the bar passes your knees push your hips forward by squeezing your glutes and twisting your toes out. Sitting back as for the start of the pull.
