Dan, your website is great and I aprreciate the valuable information you have disseminated on it. I do have a quetion. Do you think someone who does not have significant strength (BP-200, Squat-210, Deadlift-210) should concentrate on getting stronger before worrying about hypertrophy programs and the like? Should they concentrate on a routine consisting of a Squat or DL, a Press, a Pull,and an Ab exercise with low sets 2-3 with 3-5 reps? For how many days on? How often to max out? What do you think about adding a BB exercise like Calve Raises or DB Laterals to cure my Bodyubuilding itch?
See, there you go…you had my full support then…ah…
Do it all five days a week for two weeks and get back to me. [quote]

Dan, thanks for the enthusiastic confirmation. If I alternate between a Squat/Bench Press/Bent Row and DL/ Military Press/Chins routine how many days on off, How often should I try to push my max?
I’m trying out that 40 day idea where you pick a fairly simple routine of 5 or so exercises, pick 3x3 or 2x5 as a rep scheme, and repeat it day after day.
I was really surprised on my 4th day in a row when my overhead press and my front squat were obviously easier, and my close grip bench was also coming along quite nicely. My chinning seems to have gotten worse, but maybe I can fix that by tweaking the rep scheme.
Just an early report that this really does seem to work.
