Nice to see a 5 3 1, where weights are in KG.
Happy with the fullbody training?[/quote]
Hey Backbone - where do you hail from?
KG ftw.
Yeah I really enjoy the fullbody training. Was going great for the first 4 months but I had some insomnia/injury issues which have fucked up the last couple of cycles for me, though Iāve still hit the required reps. Seem to be back into it now though, and looking forward to the rest of this cycle.
Are you considering trying it?
My notes so far:
-donāt add in too much extra work
-dietary changes will have a huge impact
-do deadlift singles
-donāt drop phone on floor, breaking sound recording function, meaning you have to use a shitty video editor to add music, and a stupid watermark in the middle of your clips[/quote]
Im from Denmark. Yeah have considered it but now my setup is this:
sq 5 3 1
GM 5 x 10
Military 5 3 1
Military 5 x 10
Rear delt 3 x 10
Hiptrusters 5 x 10
Weighted crunches 5 x 10
Bench Press 5 3 1
Bench Press 5 x 10
Yates Row 5 x 10
JM press 5 x 10
Incline db curls 5 x 10
Hang Power clean 5 3 1
Deadlift 5 3 1
Frontsquat 5 x 10
Kroc Rows 2 set wup+ 1 max set
The plank 3 sets of 45 sec.
Unfortunately I only manage training 3 days a week(we got our 4.th child on the 18/4, and the other 3 are quite young yet), and i spend time riding MTB in a small club of insane people here. So that is all i manage.And only because i have a home gym.
I could imagine one could easily load to many exercises int the fullbody template, its allways a danger.
Well the foodintake is crucial to all programmes, I dont know if it is superstition, but i allway have a great workout after eating Wok with chicken andr rice and a lot of veggies.
Deadlift singles are great, better focus on the form i think. Have you ever done a Dough Hepburn programe. Many of them consist of 5 x 5 work+ 5-10 singles. That is nasty productive shit.
Good training, will follow your log.

Thanks dude, and I like your training scheme. You must have great energy reserves to get through such an impressive amount of volume in your training day! How long do your sessions last?
Also what kind of reps do you tend to hit on your hang power cleans? I need to add them in for Phase 4, which I will be hitting around November; but I have never trained any oly lifts for max reps before. I was assuming to train them more as short-rest singles than actual sets, as I have trouble keeping my form tight.
Congrats on extending your clan! And 3 times a week training is what I do with the Full Body Template, and it seems adequate.
Iāve never researched Hepburn or used his methods - did they work for you? Iām sticking with this program for the rest of 2012, but next year I will change it up so I will be looking for new options.
And yes nutrition is important to any training of course! I didnāt really explain the context; I switched to ācarb back loadingā for two months, while keeping a similar total caloric intake. My lifts seemed to suffer quite badly, perhaps my body didnāt like the adjusted meal timing. Either way, I am back to my normal eating now and I am piling the weight (and fat) back on haha.
Cheers! =)
