Stopped Doing Accessory Work

OH shit! I just realized this is the asshole who can’t figure out how to do pull ups either.

Yea. This ain’t for you @davecarverharver. I recommend playing the guitar.

Don’t be so hard on him. I’m sure he would fit in just fine in a Zumba class.

I find the level of toxic masculinity your displaying is very upsetting to a sensitive individual like myself.

You literally told me to add on weight and reps to my lifts, advice that any individual with a basic knowledge of training knows of, you’re nothing close to a fitnessguru, and i’m not suppose to add any reps on you fucking weak useless pussy shit, the program just states to keep a high intensity, if you haven’t even read the program then why the fuck are you here??? you came here only to insult me to call me “severely lacking in muscle” you can’t even read fucking properly, so I advice you to go back to elementary school you brainlet retard

The irony here is top notch.

Regardless, I think you may have put an end to any useful input you may have recieved on this site.

You’re also not supposed to stop doing accessory work. Don’t you even know what the program is?

Fair word of warning though, I can see that you’re a bit upset because you’re not getting the advice you were expecting to hear, but when you use the phrase “fucking weak” to refer to a dude benching 400, squatting over 500, and repping weighted chins, then it’s pretty clear you’re just having a hissy fit.

Take a breath, stop embarrassing yourself, and re-read all of the advice here (because it’s pointing you in the right direction) when you have a clear head.

Soooo…if it’s changing or disregarding what exercises the program says, it’s fine, but adding reps is a strict no no?

Dude, maybe you should answer this question:

So then how come you can’t figure that out for yourself? You need a “fitnessguru” to tell you basic stuff? There is nothing complicated about assistance work, you area just looking for answers that you won’t find.

If you want advice specific to Candito’s programming then ask him yourself. Will adding a rep or two somehow sabotage the plan? Is it worse than subbing Pendlay rows for pull ups? And here’s another question for you, if I’m weak and I benched 370lbsx2 on Monday and you are stuck benching 72.5kgx5x5, then what does that make you?

I came to point out the obvious fact (obvious to everyone except you, apparently) that you are tall, skinny, and weak as shit (which is not conducive to anything related to powerlifting), and the most direct solution is to keep doing your assistance work because it will help you build some muscle. But instead of listening to what EVERYONE in this thread is saying, you throw a temper tantrum and start calling me names. Sounds like you will get real far in life.

If you can’t be bothered to do accessory work or know why you’re doing it, youre not ready for an “intermediate program”. Stick to your 5x5 SL or Starting Strength or whatever.

Or better yet, buy a coach and ask them why they’re programming why they are (I ask my coach this all the damn time). This helps me understand why I’m doing what I’m doing, and helps me figure out how to intelligently program on my own.

I believe JTS has a book about programming too
