Ahhh... Just to ungay it up in here... I have a quick question or 3.
Ppp goes for 11 weeks right? So the guy/s doing all (squat, bench, dead)... How does it work? Does it finish in 1/3rd the time since they do it 3 times a week or do they lift the same weight and sets and reps at all 3 sessions?
If I'm 33 and not a noob but still kinda weak is this something I should try or do it one lift per day as designed?
No doubt, but, there are some things I like to do, like military press, for shoulders, good for shoulder health, etc. I suppose they can be done after. I also like to do trap bar deadlifts.
Balance is one thing but balance over a micro cycle (weeks/months) isn't as important as balance over a macro cycle (years).
Something I bitch about constantly on here is how much shit people do doing programs. Like 3-4 different types of bench press, 4-5 types of deadlift assistance. Even if one of them worked (which they never do when you do them all at once) you wouldn't have a clue because the variables are never isolated.
The only assistance exercises I'd say are a must over the macro cycle are the same as you do in a beginners program - overheads, chins and bent rows. They cover all basis. A hamstring exercise never hurt anyone, nor did an ab or tricep exercise, but if I was pushed I'd be more than happy to drop them.
I totally agree with you. Deads, bench, squats, rows, chins and overheads are 95% of what I do. Ive only started to do some sldl for some variety, and im doing trap bar deads because im working around an injury.
Awesome. If you'll let me I'll read your journal, get my head around your injury and fiddle with your assistance work. Be ready for a 15 minute workout
Minor correction, twice a week
I obviously can't do that for too long as doing a 12 week program is 6 weeks is way too fast for development (especially when your doing more than 5kg jumps).
I think I successfully did PPP twice per week for about 3 weeks...
ok sounds a lot tougher than I thought it would be..
I'll stick to 1 movement per day and PPP for all 3.
4 cycles will be done in 2011 (if no injuries..)
I assume that I will only be able to go up by 5kg for 1rm per cycle.. but on that 11th week after getting the noted max, I will try to go heavier for one more etc till I fail and work out my new 1rm for the next cycle from that.
I am 100% certain that bench will only go up by 5kg.. it sucks big time.
Will get back on the fish oil tablets to help the knees and elbows.
Will drink more concrete to try and man handle deads properly.
