See I hate how he demphasizes the standing press in his 531 version. Imo it's more important than bench variations for strength and aesthetics. It's a simple switch out, just something I noticed.

I think this 531 LP is for powerlifting. There is no peak week but I think the emphasis is in the big 3 for a reason.

That's good. I am doing the greyskull LCI program and it's kicking my arse. Starting next week I will ramp to two a days and add one of the circuits from Christian thibs 6 week to super hero program on each lifting day of the LCI program. So for example on press day I would do the LCI program in the morning then at night do 4 rounds of the shoulder star complex from the super hero program. Gonna be tough but worth it.

Yea have another vacation coming up at the end of September for my 35th bday. I want to look the best I ever have and be as strong as I ever have and best shape or close to it cardio wise I have ever been. I am eating at maintenance on lifting days with about 275g protein, the rest is fat with about 20g carbs from veggies. Rest days I am real low on calories, about 1200.

Just trying to recomp. Gonna be using the shite out of bcaas and a bunch of extra leucine/creatine/COP and anything else to help recovery.

I won't get to where I used to be running wise as I won't be really doing any but I want to be able to use my rower and air assualt bike more and better.

Worse thing that can happen is I burnout and fail but learn from the expierence. So not too worried about it.

Whats your thoughts on Deloading lsu77? I am doing a SL 5x5 right now, and I'm hitting some weights that are hard. I'm close on a couple like 5/5/4/4/4, but I don't know if I'll hit it next time.

Should I deload or just keep pushing at the same weight? Will the deloading help? Or should I just try to power through.

Hard question to answer due to the program you are on. Personally i think once you reach weights that are really hard, deload after every three weeks. This will prolong your lp gains.

Also when you perform a reset push the last set with as many reps as possible. Just the last set.

For your deload week do something like 2x10 of only the 4 main lifts @50% of training max.

It depends on your experience and how long you have been on this program. If you are a newbie and just starting, you could push through. If you are experienced and are hitting heavier weights that are really pushing you, then you need to start scheduling deloads every few weeks.

Well this is my third time doing the program. 1st in about a year. I've been lifting for a few years, and would say I'm an intermediate lifter. I'm just skinny and some of the weights for me have been challenging. Right now I'm stuck at 115 on OH press, and 185 on BP. I weight about 155. DL is at 245 right now, but I'm using a mixed grip. Was doing 225 DL with my overhand. I deloaded my squat from 225 back to 175 because my form was getting bad, but I'm now going below parallel and the squats feel great.

Anyone have access to pdfs of these workouts, seems most have to be paid for. Was going back to shortcut to shred next week. Now you have to pay the monthly fee for the app

Thanks

Wish we could get it as a sticky. They should have somebody that is a regular poster on this board as a mod.

Maybe start a thread on the help board.

random bump
looking for some advice from the health board experts

I need a new plan, my goals are to stay in shape/add muscle

currently I'm not following a particular plan just going to the gym and doing my thing, usually chest/back, shoulders, arms, and an occasional leg day but I feel like I have hit a wall.

obviously feel like my results would be better if I had a solid program to follow
