I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt that lol. I wouldn’t even attempt that lol. I don’t think my arms can support that much weight right now. I have super trex arms so don’t let the bench fool you lol. But thanks man! I think the OHP at least for me has MAJOR carryover to the bench press. Plus all the dips and push ups and ridiculous amount of back volume I do really help.
Plus today was a REALLY good day lol. I’ve been eating like 4000 calories a day all of last week. But this is probably my peak strength, def not my 365 day strength.
Thanks man! I think it’s all come down to consistency and I guess some hidden genetics I have lol. I was always decent at athletic endeavors so I think I’m a lot more athletic than I ever thought. Too bad I didn’t know this in HS lol. Oh well!
Dips, Split Squat, Good Mornings, Abs @ 50-100 reps each
SOOOOOOO I signed up for a Powerlifting meet lol. It’s in 9 weeks. This is about to be fun! I’m not going to try to peak or anything like that. But I will go for a PR in all 3 lifts.
Any chance of getting some pics of your Physique? I would be interest to see the type of changes in someone who has truly mostly focused on a few big movements and made crazy progress.
I can probably get a few pics taken of me in a few days. Just be warned it’s not as crazy lol. I am bigger and thicker all over but nothing like all the physiques you see on these forums. I mean if you think about it I’m just part of 4/3/2/1 club lol. Nothing ground breaking. But I’ll get videos and photos up soon enough!
We start a 6 week pillar squats program I wrote on Friday in addition to a Hypertrophy plan my son found on tnation.
Basically a progressive 1x25 rep squat set to begin every workout 4 days a week for 6 weeks, then we will do the Hypertrophy plan. On squat days we do the pillar set, then 3x15 back, 3x12 front, with lunges, leg extensions, and leg curls. Gonna be brutal.
So the four main lifts are: Back Squat, Deadlift, Bench and OHP, the first two every day.
Are you following a progression?
Looks interesting.
Any reason you go from medium, to heavy and then light for the last weeks?
Day 1 - heavy squats, volume Ohp
Day 2 - light squats, moderate bench Press
Day 3 - moderate squats, heavy ohp
Day 4 - heavy deadlift, rest is bw only movements
I’m going to be following more of a double progression model. Keep it simple, I don’t wanna mess with percentages right now. I stole the template layout from 531 Periodization Bible
I’m already in the strength block, so I’m going to see it all the way thru and see how it affects my lifts when I get to my 4x8-10 volume block.
