Skip to bottom for TL;DR
hey guys I just finished 12 weeks to ridiculous wheels with pretty decent gains (havent yet tested my max, I will in a week, but I started at 315-1rm and hit 300x5 last week)
while I liked the program I want something different (more serious) still geared towards strength gains, with a little assistance for aesthetics and balance. Despite pouring over the internet for hours I cannot decide on a program, don’t really want to do 5/3/1, sheiko and smolov are attractive but I cant lift on Saturdays
TL:DR
what I want:
-strength focus
-minor aesthetics/balance
-I love to squat
-I love OHP
-deadlift gains would be nice but id be happy with maintenance
-I dont give a shit about bench
my stats:
-6’2
-193-195 in the morning 199ish at night
Bench:285-295 estimate
squat:340 estimate (yes I go ATG)
deadlift:465 raw
ohp:170 strict (recent recovery from labrum injury so numbers are shooting back up)
what is yall’s experience with sheiko/smolov or a hatch squat program.
what programming could I do to hammer squat strength while making OHP gains and maintaining bench/dead
