unit94 said:this is gonna be a case of more than one way to skin a cat week reps 1 3x5 2 4x5 3 5x5 4 6x5 5 5x5 6 4x4 7 3x3 8 2x2 9 rest 10 1x1 thats one way of doing it Nice! I like the look of that progression. Roughly what sort of percentages would you use each week, or would you just go by feel? Would you do multiple sessions of the same lift each week at those numbers, or just once a week for each main lift? And any assistance work? Thanks | |||

| Very impressive indeed. Got to say thanks also cos I've been having some good results with the previous routine and spreadsheet you posted - a day of prilepin numbers and a day of 80% doubles each week. I take it you're advocating daily squatting over this now? Or do you switch back and forth between those methods? Thanks | |||
| » Increasing strict overhead press (Go to post) | 06-05-2014 @ 22:42 | ||
| What sort of progression/routine has worked best for your strict press? I have found my deads respond well to Ortmayer 1x/wk, my squats go well with 5/3/1 with some extra volume 2x/wk, so those are sorted for now. But I can't seem to get my strict press to go up unless I over-eat and let my bodyweight go up too (which I don't want to do atm). I've tried 1, 2 and 3x/week for presses. I've tried working up to a max 3-5. I've tried 5x5. I've tried Russian style routines. I've tried periodisation (loading phases etc). I've tried lots of assistance (CG work etc) and no assistance for periods. But nothing seems to get it moving unless I'm willing to get fatter. Any advice? What has worked best for you? Thx | |||
| » Nike Romaleos 2 opinions. (Go to post) | 01-05-2014 @ 20:42 | ||
| Does anybody know where stocks these in (or within an hour or so of) the East Midlands, so that they can be tried on before purchase? I think I either need a 10.5 or an 11 but since it's quite an investment I'd rather try them on first to get the right size. In terms of the size, I take an 11 in normal nike trainers, but they are always snug on the width but have loads of space in the toe. So unsure if the 10.5 would be too tight on the width... or the 11 too long. I know strengthshop, gymratz (Bristol) and kicks-store (Dorset) have them, but all are a long way from me. Any help appreciated. Cheers | |||

AMH_Power said: Cheers, I'll try get on more! Here you go mate: http://www.angelware.co.uk/arp.xls You can merge bench/squat days to condense the routine down (especially if you want to deadlift 2x a week in the same pattern (just look at the formula to add another column for a 2nd deadlift day). Cheers Nice posts and thanks. Sorry if this has been asked before, but what happens after the 4 week cycle in the spreadsheet? Do you just start week 1 again off of your new current and target max? Or do you deload for a week before starting again? Or something else? Cheers | |||

| » Powerlifting coach in bedfordshire area? (Go to post) | 23-08-2013 @ 18:41 | ||
| Can anybody recommend a good coach in or around the Beds/Bucks/etc area who can help me with some form issues particularly on the squat. Preferably somebody who knows what to do with a long limbed, short torso'd individual who can't stay upright at all (think more than 45 degree lean) on back squats and some lower back tucking, but no problem at all with fronts or overheads oddly. I'm unsure of whether it's a flexibility issue, tight hip flexors, or whether that's just how I'm built, so I'd be very keen on getting some coaching in person. Any recommendations? Essentially I want a Mark Clegg type but based much further south Cheers | |||
