3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press
1x5 Deadlift
Workout B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Standing military press
3x5 Pendlay Rows
Thank you and sorry Rhys, I just never heard of that name before, my mistake.Hey Fadi, my name is actually Rhys so no surprise there (prefer using my real name).
Just great, because we're on the same page here. I would have said if your intention was to lose some fat mass, then start to think about building some muscles because that would take care of speeding up your metabolism since fat burns in the furnace of muscles; the more muscles to fat ratio you have , the more fat you will lose and the faster your metabolism would be and so it goes.Mostly I've just been concerned with weight loss but am more interested in strength/muscle gains now that I've shed a fair amount of flab.
Please do take a look over here Rhys: Building the ultimate muscle machine: move your body through space. Program #1.PS I love body weight exercises but how would you incorporate them into that sorta program? Substitute bench for purshup every 2nd week or something?
Also Mark Rippetoe reckons to bite the bullet and learn how to powerclean, he reckons they are superior to rows in his program, something about developing power
rippetoe is full of shit sometimes.
Dude watch yourself someone one on the net will come looking for you!
I love powercleans and learnt them myself through videos and descriptions, they are not too hard to learn but take a bit of practice to get right. I also got lessons from one of my lecturers at Uni though later on so that helped a little too in 'perfecting' them.

Guess what. Max cleaned 115kg at less than 70kg bodyweight, all via reading and watching, is that heavy enough for you.
There is no doubt he could clean well over 120kg currently at his 77kg bodyweight.
He can hang clean 100kg for reps, cold.
He has read my books and watched YouTube.
Thats the extent of his coaching.
There are no absolutes in weight training.
