Pregame is only 4 days a week if I remember right. Squatober is 5, other than that it's pretty close to Squatober programming.

To the people doing PPSA, do you really just use pen and paper or do you have a favorite app you use and manually input the plan into it?
I have ran a lot of 531 and love the app to track progression of the cycles, do not know if that is relevant with PPSA since it appears to be run this for a month?

I dont have a printer so I have been writing it out in a notebook to keep in spirit with the program.
I might make a spreadsheet for future iterations.

I keep the program open in the files section of my phone and make record of the weight in notes.

The very first rule of PPSA, is to literally use a pen and paper.

I usually draw it on the white board for when I’m actually lifting so I don’t have to look down at small print the whole time.

I saved the pdf into the notes app on my phone and use the pencil function to write in the spaces provided. Not the best for handwriting but it works for me

Yep, old school baby!!
I like to print 3 programs together and then go get them bound at FedEx store and keep track that away.

Thankfully I have a laser printer at home and then I use a refrigerator magnet clip to hold my workout sheets together then stick them to the rack or bench with a pen keeping them from flapping in the wind.
I think I am the only one in my gym doing it this way.

Just picked up "Elbow Meat" and thankfully I did since there is an exercise that is unclear:
Behind Butt BB roll up, I am trying to figure this exercise out. Does anyone have a video or gif on how to complete this? Is this just rolling the BB in your hands behind your back?

It's just behind the back forearm/wrist curls.

I only have a few weeks of grasshopper left..recs? Filling out the hoodie caught my eye.
Ive yet to ever bench 225 (current Max ~205), so im tempted to hit a bench focus
Hell increasing training maxes and repeating last 4 of grasshopper probably not a bad idea even

All of the PPSA programs include some bench, I just completed Pool Season II and I think I bumped up my max bench.
I’m starting Elbow Meat on Monday in hopes that I can possibly add an inch to my arms. Currently sitting at 17 cold and obviously would like to add onto that but am I out of my mind?

Wife wants to start lifting. She’s a former athlete, but hasn’t lifted or exercised in 20 years. What would be a good program to start with, if there is one. She’s normal size if that matters.
Posted on 8/13/22 at 10:22 am to bamaguy17
Grasshopper is the beginner program. Just start her very very light so she doesn't quit because of soreness.
Posted on 8/13/22 at 12:48 pm to bamaguy17
Grasshopper as hulk said, maybe even twice. Then hit up the two glute programs.

1" is a shite ton in a month. I would look to add that over next 60-90 days. 18" arms are no joke.

What are the goals right now?
I know you started Grasshopper after some time off, but are you planning to go back to crossfit?
Or just want to lift and look better? You still in a deficit?

Ok, so it's definitely within the realm of possibility before Xmas.
