Beginners program

TTT said:
why would you recommend HIIT to a 6' tall 64kg guy who "nearly" made it through a beginners program?

It was his first go.
all he has to do is do "better" at the next time he goes at it.
what he also needs to do is eat..

Kez - just keep at it.
try to go ONE better next time.

what weight did you end up using for your work set?
Click to expand...

Squats was... 30kg x 10, 10, 8 or 9
Bench was 35kg x 8, 8, 7
Rows I honestly can't remember, they weren't terrific though.

I'm about head out again now and give this another crack. Hopefully I'll finish it this time.

I would post this in the other thread but its been locked for some reason ??

http://ausbb.com/strength-training-...-deadlifts-doesnt-last-8-reps.html#post151238

In response to this post in particular I would kindly ask for clarification.

Ausbb - Australian BodyBuilding - View Single Post - my grip for deadlifts doesnt last the 8 reps

Great advice, its why it shits me when a novice thinks he knows better and changes my program, but still calls it PTC blah blah blah

You guys know I never have 8 reps for deads, SLDL are of most benefit when done for higher reps, but a guy who deads 70kg changes it because he clearly knows better

Then starts a thread like this on a forum

This on the surface seems like a contradiction of the sections of the posts I have quoted below ???

Markos, could you please clarify what you recommend set / rep for regular dead lifts ?

PTC said:
You are a beginner if you cant bench 100kg, squat 140kg and deadlift 180kg.

....


Now, if your a beginner, here is what you need to do, for between 3-12 months.

Squat 3 x 10
Bench press 3 x 8
Bent row 3 x 8
Military press 3 x 8
SLDL 3 x 8
BB curl 3 x 8

PTC said:
The exact exercises arent critical, as long as you stick to the hadful of basics.

whether you do SLDL or regular, push press or MP, incline press or bench press etc

I dont have regular deadlifts in my beginners program because I feel SLDL are a better exercise for beginners.

Read my "Shorty" newsletter.

If someone wanted to perform regular deadlifts and asked me, I would ask how much they were deadlifting. If the answer was under 150kg, I would have them do SLDL.

If it was over, 3 x 3 or 5 x 3, but only once a week on a full body workout.

Only a fool would do 5 x 3 with 160kg in the deadlift 3 x week.

Hope this helps

Its a newsletter on my website, its about Shorty, he made my Beginners program what it is today.

I think he started on 35kg SLDL and 7 months later pulled 200kg at 67kg.
