Hey Glenn, PM’d you earlier in the week. You had a chance to check it out? I get you’re busy so no rush. Thanks in advance[/quote]
I responded to your PM a couple of days ago, I just responded again.[/quote]
Yeh, my PM’s were turned off for some reason. Didn’t even know the site had that feature. If you could find the time to PM me once more that’d be grand. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Glenn,
I realise you´re probably fed up with questions on intermediate programming, but how is this routine looking? Anything that seems out of order? I´m planning to start with pretty conservative weights and work my way up. Do you think the deadlift will suffer from the relatively low volume?
MON
Back Squat 5x5
Bench 5x5
Rows 5x5
Dips 3x10
WED
Front Squat 3x3
Military Press 3x3
Weighted Chins 5x5
FRI
Back Squat 1x5
Bech 1x5
Deadlift 1x5
Glenn thanks for taking the time to answer my previous questions, I was wondering what do you think of doing pull ups and dips after Snatches and Clean and Jerks? Do you think it has a negative effect on your olympic lifting?

I wouldnt recommend it the last two weeks before you leave for worlds, and I wouldn’t recommend it if you are a bodybuilder in rehab (lol) who can bench 400 and do 50 dips and 30 chin-ups but only snatches 90 kilos… but for the average lifter nothing at all wrong with it.
Most lifters should be doing the lifts then working on strength, and when working on strength should be working on whatever particular weak point they have. If dips and chins fit the bill for this then great. If they dont exactly fit the bill but you enjoy them and arent fighting for a spot on the Olympic team, then what the hell, no reason not to do them anyways.
California Strength is now looking for 2-3 lifters who have the potential and desire to reach a high standard in Olympic Weightlifting to join our Elite team. Qualified lifters will receive a stipend to cover living expenses and will live and train as a full-time professional lifter in the East Bay area of Northern California.
Lifters accepted into the program will be coached by Glenn Pendlay, will be provided free of charge with the supplements, nutritional advice, physical therapy, massage, and other recovery methods needed to train at this level, and will train daily with National and International level athletes. You bring the talent and work ethic, we will provide everything else.
If you are interested, please contact me at glennpendlay@yahoo.com to arrange a recruiting trip. We will pay for a plane ticket and accomodations for qualified athletes.
Amazing opportunity, good luck to anyone applying! _b
Hey Coach Pendlay,

To those who have sent emails, thank you. I am currently reviewing things, we have sent out 3 invitations for recruiting trips,and have 5 left to send, we are still trying to decide on the final 5. I have gotten over 200 email requests so far, so if I haven’t gotten back to you, that’s why.

Hi Glenn, I read about the ‘Texas method’ in practical programming, and found it interesting. I have a couple of questions on this, if you like to answer.
First, witch way is better to add high volume assistant exercises for hypertrophy purposes? According to the logic or the method, I assume that they should be put an the first day, that is the primary stressor. But as it’s already a hard day, could I add them on the last day that is low in volume, or they would interfere with Monday’s basic workout?
Second, that is a more general question, the last day of this method acts as a neural stimulus. To benefit from this stimulus all the high intensity efforts should be on the same day? if I spread these single sets of five across the week, am I going to get the same neural stimulus? I don’t want to modify the method, just try to find out how things work.
Thank you.
Cool, thanks for letting us know Glenn.
Hi Glenn. Will any of the Cal Strength lifters (Shankle, North, Ward) be competing or “demonstrating” at your tournament this Sunday?

John will be competing, and likely be attempting a 160kg snatch at 94kg bodyweight. He made 157kgk on monday, and narrowly missed 160.

I do believe that you should do all your main exercise high intensity stuff on one day. AS for you other question, assistance exercises, can you tell me what exercises you are wanting to do? cause the answer depends on the type of assistance exercises.

Thanks for taking the time for my post.
Lets assume that the basics exercises for the program are squat, bench press, and dead lift (the dead lift will be done with lower volume than the others in the high volume day, because of lot’s of squating). And I want to add arms isolation work, leg press, and pull ups.

Arm isolation work fits in best on friday or intensity day. Pullups can be done on Wed or Fri, light day or intensity day. Leg presses dont fit into this type of training plan very well.
Hi Glenn,
I’m currently making the transition from an arms crossed front squat grip to a clean grip position; I have watched your upper body flexibility video at CS Strength(thankyou for the progression/flexibility videos that you have made, they are excellent)
I currently train alone and would like to do something similar to the stretch that you did with Jon(when you were pushing up on his elbows), is there another stretch that you would recommended? Or is it as simple as stretching the tricep and wrist region consistently?

Sorry, but I cannot envision a way to do that stretch without a partner? Maybe someone else can???
If you cant do that, they yeah, stretches for the individual muscles that you can do without a partner are gonna be all you can do…

All well, single stretches it is. Thanks for the response.
Do you include/recommend no hand front squats?
