hey buddy,

Whats been happening?

Sorry Ive been on an extended holiday.

What program are you doing? Looks good. Im looking for a new program myself.

tweet

Happenings… work, gym, reno’s, etc… same old here really!

Hope it was a good holiday and restful!

My ‘program’ is typically 4-5 days a week including a day each with a large focus on legs (knee), upper (shoulders/pull), legs (hips), upper (chest/push).

A normal week would be a major lift then supporting/lagging work similar to 531 philosophy, ie:

  1. OHP
  2. Squats
  3. Bench
  4. Rack pulls (instead of DL’s)

It’s a bit random at the moment though programming wise. Forever tweaking things and trying new routines/exercises too. Been throwing in some ab work recently too.
