db strength
I was looking at starting this one in a month or so, but I have a hard time with anything that isn't 5 days/wk. My routine is gets the kids off to school, go to the gym, shower, work. Deviating from this would throw me off since I'm a creature of habit. If you wanted to add something in on Wednesdays, what would you add?
Also, Christmas Big Bench had my elbows hurting. I think it was mainly the huge volume of Bent/Pendlay rows 155-160 reps/week (192 reps in week 3). Knowing that, what is your thoughts on Elbow Meat? I wasn't sure if it would help or if I would regret it.

Do you have the new mass that lasts? I was wondering how it compares to Strongville or Silverback?
I’m looking for a strength based/intensity focused program to run after my second run through of Superset. Ideally 4 days and dead/squat/bench at least twice a week. Any suggestions, would also consider the Mullet or 70’s big. I’ve seen good adaptions from superset and want to continue lifting like that before switching to Pool Season/Arm Farm.

Prolly a true bench, squat, dead day or a true calisthenics day with lots of bodyweight upper body
The db strength is lots of legs and arms

Decided to hop on the 70s big train this month as well and finished day 2 today, along with a Brian alsruhe conditioning finisher. My legs are absolutely toast.
Committing to some more conditioning though, got a sandbag for Christmas and plan on doing one sandbag day a week.

So the new MtL iat 4 days per week would be two days of S/B/D plus two other big movements, 5 in total no super sets. He calls these the strength that doesn’t wash off in the shower days. Lots of volume on big lifts. The cardio is in swings or db shrugs. These days have a heavy carry too.
The other two days would be what Arron calls accessory strength days and is 4 super sets plus cardio with first two super sets bigger shoulder and back lifts, the other SS are more iso shoulder or arms. Cardio is arms those days.
If you want two days of deads, two of squats and two of bench then strongville is a really good choice as is the new MtL

Week 1 Pool Season in in the books
Was hungover AF on Monday because of New Years Celebrations the night before, so I started 5am Tuesday and completed the 4 days in a row.
BIg Bench Monday (591 kcals), Big back Tuesday (553 cals) and Big Squat Thursday (698 kcals) were all roughly an hour including warm up and cardio.
Big Pump Friday (1066 kcals) was around 1h20m.
All days are exactly as described in the title, with well planned arm, shoulder and back accessories.
Done all sessions at 5am, where my garage gym with a fan and the garage door open, cools to 28c (82f). Much easier than 35c (95f) this afternoon.
Special thanks to 777 for his help in suggesting hangs and shoulder dislocations (broom handle) between bench sets on Tuesday and Friday. Along with the prescribed warm ups, it all helped send blood to my rotator cuffs, which helps avoid the typical left shoulder pain.
After Deadcember and Squatober, I am now much more confident in doing these compounds as well, and looking forward to what the rest of this month brings.

week 2 Day 3 Pool Season
Big Squat Day finished with 8x2 @80 percent, last three sets legs were shaking. Back work again after hard day yesterday. Another really solid workout

Week 1 (days 1-5) of original Oak Tree in the books. This is my second time thru it. Comparing the notes/weights from the first time (March '23) to now, it's easy to see improvements. My top set of deadlifts and bench on day 1 were 60# and 30# heavier. Top set of squats on day 2 is 45# heavier. Pretty much all accessories are up 20-40% and generally form is MUCH better.

Day 4 of 70s done.
Another one that felt too easy. All of the days so far have either felt too light except for the absurdly hard 75 reps of squats on day 2.

70’s D3 done and I agree this one was easy. I wanted to do it Friday but I was sore AF from day 1&2.
I’m happily to see the incline DB Bench in there. I was surprised BF2 didn’t have any Incline DB Bench

Day 7 of Oak Tree done.
The Deadlifts/Shrug superset was fine. Since the deads were only 3 rep sets I stuck with an overhand grip the entire time as grip strength is something I want to improve. There was nothing special about bench as it was just some simple 5 rep sets; no real high %s.
The skullcrusher/dip SS was pretty rough. I didn't get the last set of dips completed. Then having to follow that up with tricep kickbacks was just a brutal combination. Back of my arm is rock hard right now.

Alright LSUSports247, I'm right behind you. Did day 2 of 70's big yesterday and my hamstrings are angry at me. Haven't done RDL's in a long time and went heavy on them. I'll be limping for a few days but gonna knock out day 3 this afternoon.

Ran Pool Season 1 in December but took a week off around New Years. Running PS2 now. Overall these are probably my 2 favorite programs he has written. Gonna hit up Strongville in February…which I think may be one of his hardest when I ran it about 7-8 months back
Posted on 1/10/24 at 6:19 am to Coach1991
I did PS2 last year. What's the difference between PS2 and PS1?
Posted on 1/10/24 at 6:55 am to JL
I was legit limping for four days. My hamstrings were so tight. 75 reps of squats will do it to you
Posted on 1/10/24 at 7:08 am to JL
Essentially just PS2 has more reps for certain exercises. Like Day 1 of Squat on PS1 is 3 reps and PS2 is 5 reps. Layout of workouts is essentially identical. I like to run them back to back because of that
