Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205 497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator	Post Edited: 17.05.2007 @ 18:09 PM See CNP for the article. I find it highly interesting how he does many exercises which many powerlifters would recommend against... e.g. leg extensions, calf work, front raises, lateral raises, seated curls, leg assistance the day after squats. He also puts together a beginners routine which looks more like a bodybuilding routine. In the last 16 weeks before his competitions he doesn't go over 750lbs. He builds the strength in the off season. He does half an hour cardio three times a week. The mans lifts speak for themselves, but what does everyone think about his routines?

Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255 585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	The slightest negative comment in this context is bound to be vulnerable to "Well, who else deadlifts 1000lb?" type comebacks - but let's just say I wouldn't recommend his training routine to anyone.

For Kettle, For Country! Member 81, 1706 posts SQ 182.5, BP 120, DL 227.5 530.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	I'm a newbie at this but for me I would find it very tiring on my back to do squats and deads on the same day. I try to split mine up so I do say Deads on Tuesday, Bench on Thurs and Squats on Saturday. However I do follow the cadio bit on the off days by running and always take Sunday off. Thanks for posting the article. It was nevertheless an interesting read for me, especially since I'd never even heard of Andy Bolton!

Loves rugby league ... Member 13, 14460 posts SQ 230, BP 180.5, DL 262.5 673.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq Administrator	i do like the way he has small blocks of training, and works upto a max of the set amount of reps in this time, the leg assistance day the day after squats and deadlifts though? doesnt make sense to me to be honest

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235 595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator	The leg assistance the day after squats and deads strike me as being on the puzzling side.

some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280 710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	The bodybuilding stuff is interesting but I am guessing it's as much for recovery as for anything else (as someone else mentioned). As for sq + dl on same day, thats pretty similar to how I train. For me there's no way I could deadlift heavy then a few days later squat heavy too. I much prefer to do all my serious sq/dl training done on the one day. However I wasn't impressed by the beginers routine.
