its about consistancy so fun is also important.
That’s what I like about these. Short enough to not get in a rut and I started very motivated. I’m gonna try to work my way through them all eventually.
Felt like a freakin gorilla walking out of the gym today.

Yep, I’m enjoying these programs. Mostly focusing on upper body programs and the pumps you get from these workouts are addictive as hell. Doing just enough squatting and deadlifting to continue slow and steady strength progress. Arm Farm workouts have been the perfect length too coming off SJTH’s heavier volume

dont say you were not warned ftr if S&J is too long, so will strongville, periodic table of thickness and also brickhouse remastered can get pretty long too but not as long as the others.

Lol you absolutely warned me several times. I liked the program and won’t necessarily shy away from that or the others you mentioned in the future but I gotta be mentally prepared and time it up correctly with my work schedule. Once I build out the garage gym then the length won’t be as much of an issue

I’m new to this thread. Where should I start? Does this guy have an app to track the programs?

Old fashioned way with pen and paper. I use a notebook, others print them out. Depends on your lifting background and goals. Grasshopper is the intro program from what I understand. Seems like the two Pool Season programs are most popular in this thread

Well you buy a program and print it. Now where to start depends on you experience

I got pool season 1. I’ve got a good bit of experience. I’ve done Greyskull twice and am just finishing up PHUL. PHUL got a little stale and easy for me despite it being a double progression program. Need to mix it up. I have an app that I will use for PPSA. It tracks percentages, reps, weights, etc and one feature I love is it has a built in timer with an audio alert so I don’t have to watch my phone. It’s just a bit of a pain to build a program in it, but I might just do it during the game tonight.

So I was aggressive adding weight on everything in arm farm today and barely made it through (and even had to drop 5lbs towards the end on the db curl to OHP). I have never had a pump like this before: chest, shoulders, biceps, triceps, and forearms just all feel huge. I am really impressed with how smartly these programs are built to (for example) wear out shoulders and chest before you hit close grip bench for maximum tricep activation. The PPSA author seems like he knows his shite.
I’m still trying to figure out what to do on the extra rest day(s) so that I can push past a fat loss plateau, but other than that I enjoy this program MUCH more than the PPL I was running previously.

How important do you guys think rest days are? I'm working out of town and going to gym is a great time killer. I've been running arm farm with 1 day of rest per week...
Posted on 9/10/22 at 7:58 pm to Nshore96
Good question. I think everyone is different. Some programs don’t have enough accessory work for me so I’ll add some on an off day.
Posted on 9/10/22 at 9:23 pm to Nshore96
It's probably fine as long as your sleep is good. But if you're just trying to kill time while out of town you might consider going for a long walk instead

Incredibly important, it is critical for muscle growth.

So I bought Grasshopper and I'm starting tomorrow. I've been looking for a program to get me out into my home gym and this looks like the right combination of simplicity and variety to make sure I don't get bored.
Since I work out by myself I'm not trying to go crazy on my weights. With that in mind, what's a good way to figure out my "Everyday Max"?

Take your estimated max and subtract 10% from that.
Posted on 9/11/22 at 1:49 pm to TigerNutwhack
Yep 80-95% of real max, I suggest starting light.
Posted on 9/12/22 at 11:32 am to lsu777
I got bored with 5/3/1 fat loss and prep and started PPSA because it’s just so much fun. I don’t have very many of his programs, but will be purchasing more as I run through them. Say I have filling out the hoodie and wanted to stretch it out over three months. Do you think running the first month at 80%,tm 2nd at 85%tm, and 3rd at 90% tm would be smart?

would be fine, but prolly better just to take max
month 1- 90%
month 2 add 5/10lbs to max and take 90% again
Month 3 add 5/10lbs to max and take 90% again
but either will work fine. if you are in a cut, do your option. if maintenance and bulking, do mine.
