sushi is the worst. You get so little food for your money. The only saving grace is that little conveyor belt it comes towards you on. All food should be served that way.

ok cool, i watched it. This is kind of what i do, i do mine in 1 set but i take slight breaks. i want to try doing this specifically now.
It does, that’s why i asked lol it’s exhausting and sickening. I feel like i have to work on my cardio every time lol. Thank you for your advice, it’s helpful, i’ll continue with what im doing then, it sounds like ive been doing shit decently so far.
I’m assuming that if you’re using the Grayskull LP you’ve actually read the book explaining the programming? If so all of the info around the reasoning for such programming is in there.
- If you read it and missed it, read it again.
- If you haven’t read it, read it. Otherwise, why trial a program you haven’t read up on and then question the theory?
Grayskull, like Ripptoes SS is a beginner-intermediate program, and the reasoning speaks for itself. Any novice lifter can make excellent progress with SS or GS LP, I’ve seen it numerous times.
Stop over-thinking it.

You are certainly not lol😂
First, I don’t see why people feel the need to criticize shit that they don’t understand. Whether they care to educate themselves on the subject or are too lazy to. Just about any dumbass can do enough jerking off in the gym to disrupt homeostasis. If only most took fatigue management as half as serious. With the rant out of the way, if you compare rep recommendations from the SSPT Deadlift chart to prilepins the INOL scores range from about 35-50%. You can add the difference and I’ve found it to be a pretty close. You will get the most from both charts customizing them to your abilities over time.
Perhaps some of us have read far more advanced literature and think noobs should be reading less and doing more.
Nah. Of course we all got to our level by jerking off in the gym while the guy with the 190lb deadlift knows more about training than us.
Deadlifting once a week would be twice as much as I deadlift. So yea, that’d be a lot of work. FWIW, I’ve deadlifted more than 3x my bodyweight, so I don’t suck at it.
Why would you compare the bench press to the deadlift? Have you actually done both things? They are not remotely similar in terms of recovery time, or how much they tax the CNS.
I think it’s utterly shocking that a beginner believes he can come up with a better plan than greyskull, simply because you havea spreadsheet of some sort, and the numbers don’t make sense to you. That’s laughable.
I’ve made a lot of excuses in my life for not doing something in the gym. But ‘I have to finish this damn spread sheet’ has never been one of them. I’m going to be 100 % real with you, and I’m sure you’re not going to take my advice, but…
Don’t look at a spreadsheet that pertains to lifting for at least the next 5 years. Forget the word Perilipin. If you do both things, you will almost certainly have more success in the gym than you would otherwise.

Jesus Christ. It’s as easy as dividing your completed reps by the remaining number of the % you are working at. 5x5@75%. 25÷25= 1. Inol. Scribble in your journal how hard it was and if you are recovered by the next workout and performance. It takes literally 5minutes and it doesn’t make a difference if you are advanced or a noob. Say a year down the road your program stops working and 5/3/1 with BBB looks sexy or whatever the hell. Plug in the numbers and look back on your journal. Is this workout likely to kill me? Maybe so, let me start with a lighter TM or FSL, etc. It’s just an indicator. That’s it.

FYI… if by chance your lumping me into your rant because of what I posted
It was a inside joke directed to @FlatsFarmer in regards to myself since I am currently using SSPT approach on my deadlifts. Which is aware of…
Now excuse me while I go back to pounding my pud

Did you not see the part where I referenced the SSPT chart in relation to Prilepins? Or where I said that it has worked pretty well for me? My parents always told me that shit would make ya go blind. Just never believed it until now. 
I’ve been making progress lately following a chart too. It’s not for everbody though. Some guys do great working intuitively, they know how much to do.
I would urge the OP to follow an experienced coach’s plan rather than try to work out his own.
I agree. I think it’s especially good if you are the type to do too much.
And I would too. It had already been suggested, so I figured it better to try to give another perspective of how to modify it since people usually end up doing what they want to anyways.
I totally agree about rules working for guys who do too much. I have that problem.

None of what you said made much sense. Why are you getting so triggered and emotional over deadlift questions.
No one said that but you btw.
Is there some arbitrary moment when i should start caring about programming? what you say is total bullshit. If you dont try to learn now then you’ll never get a heavy deadlift, if i dont try to learn ill never search for an intermediate program when i reach that strength. Do i just follow cookie cutter programs till i die and only hit a 450lb deadlift in the end and never ask questions? something is wrong with you if you think learning is bad. Figuring out how much you’re going to lift by workload is a good way to do things. you count the weight you put on the bar, that’s giving you an idea of workload, how come you’re not crying about that? Lets just use random weights.
Of course it doesn’t. You’re a noob. It will when you’re deadlifting 500lbs for reps.

Generally deadlift and squat workload, or inol score are combined together for most people’s programs. You can generally do one with more volume than the other. You want to deadlift more often you squat less. You want to prioritize the squat you deadlift less. Charts are great but I would spend more time on diet and technique than on these charts and just lift. Lifting isn’t rocket science. You lift heavy things as many times as you can so you can lift heavier things later. Just let the charts go and see if the weights keep going up. Who cares what the inol score is if the weights go up right?

are you adding in the warm up sets for total volume?
