| Interesting advice. Pike fingers---- Yes, Brawn and Beyond Brawn have their place...I think mainly for people who need the simplicity in order to manage an effective routine, without worrying about over training and other principles. A bit like 5/3/1. I think I will make some progress strength wise, but I wondering if I will be limited as to how far I can go. I'd like to get my 290 kg deadlift back, and my minimum acceptable squat is 180. I'm not too fussy on bench. Either way, I'll always be a bad powerlifter because I need to get heavy to lift heavy. Mr Cowdrey...are all of those ailments genuine? I'd love to do strongman but I'm worried about my knees. | |||

| You are ambitious, but also dedicated. With the right mind set you should achieve your goals. | |||

| Hello....I am looking for some advice. Due to life circumstances, I can now only train twice per week...but my time during those sessions is unlimited. I am a bit confused as to how I should approach this and what I can reasonably achieve, I am used to high frequency. I've chosen a routine to be repeated every three workouts. I've designed it to get maximum carry-over from each workout. A Squats (safety squats) Strict press Chin-ups or pull downs Gripwork B Bench Squats Rows C Deadlifts Stiff legged Deadlifts Light bench I'm doing high reps at the moment and its beating me up. If I start periodising the routine could I expect acceptable strength gains or is the frequency too low? Any other advice or experience would be good. Thanks Steve | |||

PaulSavage said: I haven't done these for years and never did a max on Squat / natty then but 280kg deadlift, 240kg Squat and 160kg bench (close grip) Those are nice lifts Paul. You have a strong grip as well. | |||

| Nice squatting. No way could I do 5 x 5 at 160. I would be fatigued for 3 weeks. | |||

Post Edited: 18.07.2016 @ 22:15 PM by StevenFatty Warm up stuffSafety Bar Squats: 95 X 7 95 X 7 95 X 7 95 X 7 95 X 7 Started feeling sick after the 3rd set. Not used to high reps, not properly adapted to safety squat. Strict Press: 40 X 10 40 X 10 40 X 8 40 X 8 Felt sick on all of these Pull downs (emulating chin-ups): 4 sets of 10-8 reps. Felt sick Conventional widish pull downs with very thick bar (superb for grip strength): 2 sets. Felt sick. Then did one set of reverse curls. Walked home a couple of miles. Notes: Felt sick alot. I will hopefully adjust to the amount of volume and exercises I am doing. I will see how it goes over the next couple of weeks. Perhaps I may need to reduce the number of sets on the squats. I have been doing chin-ups, but the machine was occupied. Thats why I did the pulls downs- I lifted almost the entire stack...it appears I am stronger than I thought I was regarding this type of movement. I struggle with the chin upos because I am heavy. | |||

| Ha, indeed. In application to myself, my own experience tells me I do not benefit from doing as much as I possibly can every session. There is a fine line between doing enough and doing to much. Like you, have to heel the horse. Its a difficult pill to swallow, that sometimes doing less is more. | |||

Post Edited: 15.07.2016 @ 23:24 PM by StevenFatty Warmup setsWorking sets - deadlifts: 120 X 5 135 X 5 150 X 6 had more in the tank but stopped at 6. Assistance work: Speed deadlifts 80 X 8 Stiff-legged deadlifts: 80 X 6 80 X 6 Ham Curls: 3 sets of about 8-10 reps Seated incline press thingy: 25 kg each side - 15 reps Seated row with very thick bar (this was done as a grip exercise rather than back): 2 sets Also pinched a 10 and a 15 kg plate together and held 20 seconds each arm. Crunches 2 sets Walked home approx 3-4 miles. Notes: Deadlifts were not as speedy as usual. I need to work on speed. I could really feel the stiff leg deadlifts working - I wan't to do some more of these. Didn't actually feel too good whilst training today. | |||

| Nice benching and some nice squatting too it seems. 125 kg bench is respectable. Your choice of lifting clothing is top notch. I am glad that I'm not the only one who hasn't taken to wearing skin tight lycra. Old clothes from the 1980's covered in baby sick. That's were its at. | |||
