Hey buddy,
Talk me through your ideas on how to train when you don’t have a meet planned in the near future. Do you go on maintenance mode? Still train hard like you are prepping for a meet? Do something more general training style like 5/3/1?
I am in this boat right now and I have constantly been meet prepping for the past year but am going to take a little “off time”.[/quote]
For me personally, I prefer to still train hard like I’m prepping for a meet.
I believe that in “The Westside thread” StormTheBeach mentioned about staying in the Accumulation and Intensification phases of the Westside system when you’re nothing training for a meet. It’s the same thing in Block, I would keep switching between Accumulation and Transmutation, albeit, the Transmutation phase would not be as stressful as the one Stronghold wrote out for me that I’m doing right now.
I know you come from a Westside training background so I think that would be the best option, however that does still require a lot of planning and effort and I know not everyone wants to be so meticulous when it comes to off season training. Plus, no one would want to do Sheiko as off season training because that’s just ridiculously hard, and unless you’re like me, you’re not that masochistic.
I’m a percentage guy because I like to keep track of my progress in the lifts, so I would consider doing something like 5/3/1 as a second option. I don’t like it to build absolute or limit strength which is what you need in Powerlifting, but at least you have a method of keeping track of your progress. Plus, it’s simple and easy to follow and you cater your assistance work to whatever you want, goal-wise.
The last option I would recommend is doing something like WS4SB, because it still has the spirit of Westside, but you can be more of a meathead, and it’s not as boring as doing 5/3/1 because you can change exercises. It would be a good workout, but I’m not sure if it’s necessarily good training, if that makes sense. However, I feel if you make the transition back to the Westside system, the transition would be easier if you did something like WS4SB than 5/3/1 since you’re already have your body use to the strain of doing Max Effort work.
Can I pm you and/or type my routine that isn’t really an offical routine in here and you can give me some feedback?
Bascially I aspire to lift just like you so i sorta copy your stuff without really knowing what I am doing, LOl.

LOL, I’m flattered, but you should PM Stronghold if you’re looking for programming advice.
On the bright side, the next day can only be better. Cookie monster shirt is boss.

LOL Oh hey White Bear! Does this mean you’re going to start posting on the site now?
If by on the site you mean on your log than yes. Nothing else seems worth looking at since they got rid of SAMA and I’ve got to have some means of sending you funny things during my facebook hiatus.
datassomg.
Your sessions look increasingly brutal. Also thanks for teh infoz on percentages a while back.
ALSO also loving the music at your gym!

SAMA kinda sucked anyway, a lot of mediocre women posting nudes, so I didn’t lose anything.
But by any means, post away in here

Haha, yeah the training is pretty rough. Week 7 of this training cycle is going to suck the most, but afterwards is when I start peaking, and therefore, start healing.
You’re welcome on the percentages, I’m glad my log is helping my followers out.
By the time I arrive at the gym, one of the few perks I get for being a decent powerlifter is that I get to pick the music, so you’ll hear a lot of metal ha
