Just a strength poll from another thread

You look better without it to be honest.

Sticky - just went back to the thread to found out you signed those boys up on the 4/4/12. So one of them got to the target numbers in like 7 weeks?

 

[Sticky]

Yep, thats right.

Drew will probably be another 3 months off yet.

Imo the thing that stops most people getting there is boredom/OCD. Most beginners don't want to squat/bench/dead every workout. They want to do fun stuff like kettlebell swings, bodybuilder work or flirt with MMA, so they lack the ability to put 2.5kg on the bar session after session.

So you've had pretty rapid gains then? Cool.

Could you post the program you're following, or a link to it? Thanks.

If you check his log he's doing PPP.

Forgive me for not having a clue as to whether you're a beginner, intermediate or elite, but just thought I'd add that PPP is not really ideal for beginners.

I did starting strength but if I had my time again I'd probably do that program.

I'd swap the stiff legs for conventional deadlifts though.

And wings right, I do PPP now. Looking at a 220/140/260 raw total at the nats.

Oh. Sorry, but what's PPP?

I'm definitely a beginner, which is most of why I'm asking this stuff, really.


edit: Ah, found it (thanks, Google). No worries, guys - not looking to try it, now I know what it is; just curious.

There's a sticky thread at the top written by PTC that says beginner program. Give that a look. Personally I did GSLP as a beginner, its similar to Starting Strength.

PPP is Progressive Poundage Program, written by the owner of PTC. It's designed for intermediate / advanced lifters.
