Getting ready to change things up a bit and may copy your new setup exactly. Thanks for posting that.
As a guy who’s nowhere near as advanced as you are, would you recommend the ramped sets that you use, or possibly use CT’s double progression? I realize I’m probably majoring in the minors here but I figured I should ask.[/quote]
Personally I always liked ramping. If you like it better, you should do it. The best squatter in the world does it. Jesse Norris does a pyramid. Some guys do straight weight. I will probably always use it for heavy squats and deads…just comes with the territory when you’re small framed, IMO.[/quote]
Alright thanks, I’ll try out ramping. I think I’ll start out with 10 pound jumps on bench, 20 on squat, and 30 on deadlift and see how that goes. At the end of the day it’s really just the effort you put into it that matters. Much appreciated man.

Absolutely. I tend to start out in the range of 5% jumps, then progress into 7.5-10% as I near the end of a training cycle. As long as you’re putting in high effort, quality reps, you’re fine.
