After my last log using the Juggernaut Method wave 10 and wave 8 for a total of 8 weeks my lifting partner bombed out on me and I don’t blame him. I like the Juggernaut method for its ability to give the user a solid base of strength and I think it is perfect for noobs. My brother personally still uses it and is going to finish up the 5 and 3 wave but I am going to take a different approach.
In this thread I will toy around with high frequency training and eating my face off. The general idea will be to get in the gym and do a push, pull and level change movement 3-6 days per week. On top of that I will be adding in AM workouts for any axillary lifts that I feel will help me.
Stats:
Body Weight: 205
Height: 5’9"
Current Body Fat: 16.5% (taken using home calipers and bio-impedance so probably not accurate)
Here is the Last thread I mentioned if interested:
Personally I didn’t like the juggernaut method…it takes so much time to get to low reps you get bad at them and then you immediately switch to high-reps (10), you are then very bad at them. The percentage were out of whack for me also.

Anyway I’ll be following this.[/quote]
That was the consensus of the people that I rallied into trying it. It worked very well for the beginners like my brother who hasn’t picked up a weight in earnest in years. My lifting partner hated it and I fell somewhere in the middle.
The projected maxes where spot on for me but my brother said they were too high for him so he always went in on deload week and did a quick test out. I think the projections are subjective and just slightly high but that pushes you to consider higher PR’s.
