Intolerant of old shtick. Member 5276, 431 posts SQ 222, BP 145, DL 265 632.0 kgs @ 96kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 16.03.2015 @ 23:29 PM by AaronJ Using AMH's weekly progression over several lifts. Will just be recording on a weekly basis. Week One Bench Press: 100kg x 60 reps Deadlift: 190kg x 60 reps Push Press: 90kg x 60 reps Dips: +20kg x 60 reps Pull Ups: BW x 60 reps Lots of doubles, triples and fives. About 70% of the bench reps were paused. Everything very easy, nothing above a 7RPE

Hamstrings feel activated. Member 1107, 6964 posts SQ 220, BP 152.5, DL 252.5 625.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	I'll be following this. Good luck!

Are horror films healthy...? Member 5449, 2203 posts	Great This has got my attention! Pausing the bench will add another variable though... Will wait to see what AMH says on that... Good luck

Personally I have no doubt it will work over several lifts, and past analysis on my deadlift shows that it actually thrives on this level of volume, however AMH hasn't recommended I use it on any lifts other than bench.

Member 5276, 431 posts SQ 222, BP 145, DL 265 632.0 kgs @ 96kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 26.03.2015 @ 21:23 PM by AaronJ Strengthstudent, my aim last year was to squat 200kg, I finished off the year with a 205kg high bar squat, and very painful quads and knees. I think I had quad tendonitis in my right knee. My squat aim this year is to hit 220kg, but I think with six months work at the end of the year I can achieve this. To that end I'm not going to squat for the first few months of year, to give my quads a rest. This seems to be going well - at the end of last year I needed SBDs with a set of triple ply sleeves on top to even hit depth on a bodyweight squat. The other day I hit an easy 170kg high bar squat with no knee sleeves, and no warm up at the end of a session. No pain either.

Member 5276, 431 posts SQ 222, BP 145, DL 265 632.0 kgs @ 96kgs UnEq	Week Three Bench Press: 110kg x 25 reps Deadlift: 210kg x 15 reps Push Press: 105kg x 20 reps Dips: +40kg x 17 reps Pull Ups: +10kg x 10 reps I cut a chunk out of my hand with a pair of scissors early in the week, so only managed two decent workouts. I did a lot of one handed clean and presses with a 40kg dumbell, and lots of one arm snatches up to 58kg the other days. Will try to make up the reps tomorrow, but if I don't get a chance I'll start the next week on Monday.

Member 5276, 431 posts SQ 222, BP 145, DL 265 632.0 kgs @ 96kgs UnEq	I'm going to be repeating weeks 1-3 over the next three weeks with slightly higher weights than the first time around. I feel my body needs a little more of a volume base before I feel confident chasing more PRs.
