I'm going to be building a program using the plethora of resources I have available. Due to work travel, the holidays and a new baby ive been able to work out twice in the last month.

So I wanted to put back down the foundation to start 2020 right. If anyone would like to do this I will post each weeks workouts Sunday night or Monday morning. I do a lot of my own programming so i won't just be throwing shite at the wall. This won't be for novice lifters if you don't have any experience with Olympic lifts and the big 3. Also any accessory work will be at your own discretion as I won’t know your imbalances.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday will be strength days primarily focused on power/explosives or raw strength.

Tuesday and Thursdays will be the conditioning piece. Mostly interval training, sprints, row machine and assault bike(if available) work. Or AMRAP/EMOM/HIIT type workouts with dumbbells and kettle bells. Also just general body weight stuff.

Saturday will usually be an on your own type day. Can be going on a long slow run, hiking, biking, ruck march, swimming but you can pick. Something to get you out the gym.

Sundays are rest days.


Some workouts will say use a plate career or weight vest if you have one

This will be very home gym friendly, but if you have access to a gym with lifting platforms and power racks you should be fine.

I'll be starting on the 20th

You are lacking in chest and push in general

Bench once a week with a mix of overhead press or jerks should be fine

That’s why i said accessory work is at your own discretion

Bench is typically twice a week in a strength program. This is more of a weightlifting program.

Depends on if it's a strength or powerlifting programming. Personally I like the way wendler lays out the building the monolith template were you are hitting press and squat twice weekly and bench/deads only once.

In my experience most people are extremely week in the vertical plane. Both pulling and pushing so I like to see more vertical than horizontal plane movements with lots of facepulls/band pull aparts for shoulder health.

I actually prefer that bench not be programmed at all and use weighted dips instead, again due to overall weakness of the Gen pop- in the vertical plane.

In my experience, OHP never needed to be programmed as my shoulders got super strong from benching. I didn’t lift OHP at all for 2 years and started off with a 235 max and felt I didn’t want to go any further as I was training for a powerlifting comp.

OHP is about bracing same as benching. It’s becoming a fad to do OHP over bench just like bench took over OHP.

When I think of strength programs, I think of functional athletes. Vertical strength won’t be as beneficial as horizontal. In football, I’d rather the bracing abilities in lats and chest over whatever OHP would do.

Sport specific like weightlifting? No chest is needed.

This is a weightlifting program with a sprinkle of chest to appease the general strength.

I wouldn’t tell a novice to do dips at all until they’ve mastered bracing with lats. That’s a torn shoulder and hurt elbows waiting to happen.

Not really, you realize wendler and a couple other high level coaches hold the same opinion as me right? Even good ole bill starr believed press was better for football than bench. Hatch, moffit and many others program much more vertical lifting than horizontal.

And most people do not get the results you did from just doing bench press.

And it's not really a weightlifting program at all imo. He does say accessory lifting is up to the lifter.

And I mentioned on dips, if the person has the ability to. And the op never said this was for football or sport specific, in fact said it was more for general people. But in general football specific programs are more velocity based, which means more vertical or near vertical loading.

For general aesthetics like more people are looking for, press is a much better option.

We will have to just agree to disagree on bench vs press.

This is more CrossFit based but more intellectually programmed.

Still love you hfp and still jelly of your DC training gains.

Lol it’s no problem. I don’t hate. I just have my opinions that have worked out for me and it could just be that I’m an anomaly and don’t represent the gen pop.

I just notice continually that many people’s problems are not the program but the teaching of the importance of bracing. I can go on forever about this but my initial thought was a little biased as I prefer the heaviest bang for buck in the compounds and OHP essentially was a sub maximal press similar to how a clean is a sub max deadlift.

And I admit I forgot that the intended program was not for beginners. I love weighted dips and I wholeheartedly agree they can sub for bench btw. It is one of my favorites.
