Ptc ppp

Markos,

A little while ago you mentioned that after their first cycle of PPP a lot of your lifters were spent and had trouble doing the next cycle.

How have things been going? have you had to change things to get around it?
 
In only half way, deadlift is easy, squat is ok, bench is really freaking hard. Haven't failed yet.
Can't wait till week 11

Oli, PTC is like any other gym in the fact that you'll still get a few softcocks.

A softcock will use ANY excuse to stop or quit.

99% of the competitors from the Vics are busting their ass in the gym. The first week was Hard, really HARD, but like Nick said, alls good and no body is failing.

Everyone has used the 10kg principle and it seems to be going well. Only Max is moving up a weightclass, so his 30kg total increase may seem the easiest, he is killing it at the moment, but he is currently weighing 76.3kg in the morning and 80.3kg at night. He was 72kg in Albury on the 2.05.10, 74kg on the 16.05.10.

If he actually gets to 80kg in the morning by the Nats, his new totals that he's chasing for the Nats will simply be openers 180/115/230.

Like any lifter, want to get stronger, get bigger.

At the opposite end of the scale, Sean has dropped 15kg, so he has to rejig his lifts the other way.

Anyone doing PPP needs to allow for fluctuations in bodyweight, especially if your good at it.
 
Ah.

thought there might have been an error in volume.

Looking forward to starting the program next fortnight markos.
 
Well, last Wednesday night was a first at PTC.

The first client to finish PPP, the full 11 weeks.

Ryan managed to get through the 11 weeks without missing a lift.

When Ryan started at PTC, he hadnt lifted before, and he had a bad back, he's a builder.

His brothers train here and told him he should come. After doing full body for a few weeks, it was obvious he had good potential.

He fell in love with the heavy weights so he started PPP. He either does 1 or 2 days a week, and does PPP each session.

He deadlifted 210kg, squatted 130kg and benched 110kg.
 
Gareth finished PPP today on squat. His target was 160kg, he doubled it.

Steve finished PPP on deadlift, his goal was 185kg, he made it, then made 190kg.

Both boys go up by 15kg and start week 1 next week.

Gareth weighs low 80's, Steve is mid 70's

Gareth also deadlifted 195kg, he should pull 200kg next week.

to be honest I think the lot of you 'raw' guys are pussies because you dont steinborn squat.

Only really weak lifters need a rack to get the bar on their back, and it doesnt mimic 'real life training' to have a squat rack position the bar for you at all.
 
This belt thing is getting out of hand.

For the last time, belts are legal in all competition, including raw. Anyone that feels a belt would help them should wear a belt. My wife wears a belt. Oli is well within his rights to wear a belt.

At the 2 recent comps we went to, only the PTC lifters and Tom Keary from Elite in Canberra didnt wear a belt. I had a long talk with Tom, he said he really didnt like them. He said he read the PTC newsletters and liked our stance.

Tom weighed 108kg at the NSW States.

He squatted 230kg
Benched 175kg
Deadlifted 282.5kg

Total 687.5kg

He did this 100% raw.

Nobody should be chastised for wearing a belt, I do it in jest. Annie has just ordered a belt because she feels it may help. I really dont care, but I'm still going to shit stir.

And after looking at Toms lifts, nobody should ever say you need to wear a belt.
 
DAMN U PTC!!









The PPP program is making me hungry ALL THE TIME!!

I have to wake up at 1am for some cottage cheese now

Awesome program BTW.. I didnt think so little volume could do it but the small incrementals in weight has also made me focus more on the technique and not just the lift. Haven't felt this kind of growth/strength in a while I knew i was stagnating doing the same routine and not jolting the weights up per workout... but your program keeps its SIMPLE which is great.

P.S
30-60 second rests between sets are a KILLER!!!.. Still go hard or go home!!

I cant clean and jerk 185kg to get it onto my back lol..

So i guess i am weak after all..

 
Google steinborn lift noobs there are some cool vids of people doing them pretty heavy. Then go do it at your FF.
 
A little aside here.

Max has been doing PPP for around 12 weeks now, broken up due to the comp.

He has done no powercleans in that time.

He is currently sick, missed training on Friday, Saturday and Monday, missed school on Friday and Monday as well, cant eat, lost 3kg, weighing 73kg.

Watching his training partners train last night, he did some cleans.

40kg x 3
70kg x 2
100kg x 1
110kg x 1
120kg x 1.......PB

I guess all that deadlifting and squatting had a fair bit of carryover, as has the slight weight gain. he weighed around 70kg when he cleaned 115kg.

When he's better and regains his 3 lost kg, he is going to attempt a 130kg full clean, the 120kg powerclean was achieved with nearly no knee dip.

Thats nice to know that the PPP has some carryover to lifts were not even practicing. He does do double bodyweight front squats for assistance on PPP though.
