Lower body

22

Ok perfect that will work well. Yeh ill wait a few weeks to see if I can do the extra (light) pressing on the lower body days.

And finally:

  1. Im implementing the ā€˜Million Dollar Challengeā€™ biceps routine next week after taking some time off direct arm work. As I am doing this everyday, is it best to do the 10 sets as staggered sets between the main lift sets, or done after completing the 3 or 4 lifts and doing it all at the end of the session? (if so how long to rest between sets?) With the 10 sets should I stay away from failure, something like being 1-2 reps shy of failure each set?

Thanks again for he help,
PK

23

Donā€™t do this at the same time as the Look like a bodybuilder program. At least wait 3 weeks to even consider adding it.

24

Oh ok, than what should I do for biceps?..

  1. For triceps Iā€™m doing high rep band pushdowns, should I just do the same for biceps or incorporate normal sets throughout the week?

  2. Also for the muscle snatch, in terms of using the clean grip vs snatch grip, is there a difference in muscles worked between the two? Is one better than the other?

Thanks again,
PK

What would you recommend as assistance for the muscle snatch in this program?

26

I have been doing the look like a body builder, perform like an athlete workout plan for a few months now and have liked it but one thing I have noticed is virtually no muscle soreness on most days besides except after bis and lats day. Additionally, I have seen little to no muscle growth even though this is a short time period I would expect some as I am an intermediate lifter. Also, is this workout still suitable for a ā€œnattyā€ aka without the use of any powders or stimulants (besides whey protein powder)??? I am a senior in high school who plays contact sports and want to gain power and muscle

27

Protein powders and stimulants such aspre workout do not mean you are not natural. Steroids and such would make someone not a natty lifter.

CT,

This is my favorite program by far. This program has given me alot more power, strength and explosiveness than any other. Also, it has done wonders for my grip strength surprisingly. Anyway, CT, I was wondering if you could do a Part 2 to this? Or a variation like you did with the best damnā€¦ That would be so amazing.

Thanks brother,

Dre

I think the next best thing is Built for Battle

How long does this workout take in the gym each day?

31

I mustā€™ve missed that articleā€¦ This is next once I finish my current cycle. Thanks for pointing it out

32

Look like a bodybuilder perform like an athlete; in average it would take me 1hr-1.25 hours including assistance exercises. Right now Iā€™m doing best damn workoutā€¦ and that one takes me closer to 45 minutes to complete

33

Ya Iā€™m doing best damn workout now and it takes me about 45 minutes also.
I want to do best damn strength next but Iā€™m not sure how long each session would take.

34

Do you start at 70-75% or ramp up to 70-75%?

35

like Russian lifting coachā€™s from 80ā€™s says : ā€˜if you want to be good at press - you have to press a lotā€™

36

@Christian_Thibaudeau would employing this strategy result in reduced performance on that particular lift if it has a dedicated day and if so would it be best to reduce load (keeping reps the same) or keep the current load until one is back at doing the same number of reps as before employing the strategy?
