| I would of loved to be a fireman, great job but very risky. the feeling of helping people would outweigh the wages and risk for me although the wages aren't all that bad. | |||

| Thanks for all the replies. I will give this a go and see how I get on. I will switch the pushdowns with dips as to be honest dips are my weak point so I would need to work on them. any idea of a suitable rep range and sets for the assistant lifts? Thanks again | |||

stephen9069 said:Im not the best to critique your routine as my routine aint always the best but out of curiosity why bench twice a week and I think you need a little more overhead work especially for strong man. What about squatting and deadlifting on the same day iv seen a few people do that I was looking at a few routines and notice some bench and squat twice a week so I was thinking maybe that would push my numbers up but maybe just one hard session is all I need for them instead of doing too much | |||

| » Extended Russian Routine - Advice Please (Go to post) | 08-11-2013 @ 08:05 | ||
| has any of you guys got any experience of trying this routine and how did it work out for you? did you run it back to back or do the 9 weeks then move onto something different? Did you supplement the routine with some assistance work? its set out as MON BENCH/SQUAT - WED DEADLIFT - FRI SQUAT/BENCH I am wondering if on Monday because its heavier bench and lighter squat would you add an extra couple of exercises to the chest/shoulders. Wednesday add some back exercises and Friday add some extra legs exercises? any help is appreciated  | |||

JC said: 5/3/1 you dont stop at, for example, a set of 5 at 70% do you? You can do 10 on your last set at 70% if its in the tank What you're talking about doesnt really apply to 5/3/1 as you can work as hard as you choose to on that fixed percentage program Its not my opinion as I dont agree with it as I believe in having a plan set. I was just seeing what you guys thought about it? If you rep out 10 instead of 5 on 70% on your last set how would that effect the next workout would you recalculate your percentages and increase the weight or go back to what you should have lifted in the first place? Thanks for the replies | |||

| I was watching a video of Elliott Hulse on youtube last night and in his video he was saying he believes a set routine with percentages can actually slow your progress, he believes that you should go all out and not stick to the percentage set as that could be below what you actually could do on that given day which slows your progress. So if on that day your feeling good go for more if your feeling tired cut back a little etc. whats your opinions on this? do you think its best to have a routine set with percentages? or have the principles of lets say a 5/3/1 routine but go on how you feel? | |||
