Interested to hear a review on 70’s. Looks like a good one to put in a strength block next year

Looks very interesting. I’m starting a cut in a few weeks but think this might be my next program when I start to eat more. Looks very intense but have to imagine if you ran it a few times back to back in a surplus you’d absolutely blow up.

Definitely want to give this one a shot soon.

bought it this morning, prolly gonna run it in january-march. its upper (push emphasis with some pull)/lower/pull

its essentially laid out

1- torso thickening
2- legs (rotates squats and deadlifts
3- big back day

but those deadlift days are on days 5/10/15/20 and they can be rough lol

I can tell you, its got some big bench days too....like day 16 has 16 sets of bench

Good to know, thank you. It looks pretty crushing volume wise to say the least lol, definitely not one id run in a cut, but the 70s powerlifters physiques have always been my goal so I’m pretty excited to tackle this honestly.

16 sets though… holy pump

Damn I didn’t realize how light filling out the hoodie is on legs. One day of squats each week for only 3 sets and that’s it. I kinda wanna audible to 70s big now Monday

Looks like an older plan he had waiting on the side. The graphics and how he writes it looks from his plans from a couple years ago.

Maybe, reminds me some of the og silverback a little. Big time focus on big lifts. I actually like some of the OG programs better before they were rewritten

W1 D1 BF2

Big 3 strength came out swinging a haymaker. Back squats, bench press, and deadlifts.

I added a few extra warmup sets, but this was a long workout. Roughly 90 minutes.

At least it was cold in the garage this morning.

Wrapping up Oak Tree this week. Looking to start either big back Billy or silverback on Monday. Leaning big back Billy, seems to have the same lifts as silverback and then some.

That's awesome!

I was going to start Stacked and Jacked next Monday after a deload week, but some others from the Squatober thread are doing Arm Farm on Monday as well.

I am tempted to switch and join in on the fun, as it would also be a welcome break from hitting legs every day in Oct.

That, and I have enjoyed doing Squatober with everyone and I want to keep that going, as I learn more from the more experinced

Day 2 BF2

Nice workout and shorter than Day 1. The flow and pace were on target.

BB OHP and chest supported DB rows was a great superset.

Also, really liked the cardio superset. My forearms are smoked.

Started Christmas Big Bench today.

W1D1

Ironically, bench was by far the easiest portion of today's workout. It's almost as if Aaron designed to day to get worse the further you get.

Bench, Rev Grip Bent Rows, SS of DB pullovers/lats/rear lats, pushdowns, and zottman curls

Shoulders and arms in general are jello right now. Workout is on the long side as it took me 1:20 today and I cut the rests down to 2min during the main plan and 90s on cardio.

For those of you that have done this plan before, do you superset the cardio and what rests do you use? This is the first PPSA I've done that doesn't mention the rest for the cardio portion.

It was nice to give the legs a break today after Squatober.

Half way done with FOTH 1. Loving it, it’s a meat heads dream, heavy on arms and chest. Only downfall is only 1 day of light squats per week, my legs are starting to get skinny. Will probably try to get a full seperate leg day in this weekend

Have never worked my forearms this much in my life. All the reverse curls are brutal

Day 3 BF2

Backarms University was in session today. Lats and shoulders got their turn, too.

Cardio was a scorcher...Close grip pushups as many sets as possible over 2 minutes. I damn near couldn't finish my 4th set.

Day 4 looks like a long one with Back Squats, Bench Press, and Deadlifts again.

So far, I'm really liking BF2.

Two questions, one arm dumbbell rows, straps or no straps? I've been using straps to get more weight because I'm getting grip workout on the farmers walks.

I'm trying to cut the last bit of fat I have left on my spare tire. Should I be hitting meals heavy? Right now I'm doing 50g protein shake for breakfast, salad w/ 50g protein from chicken for lunch, 50g protein shake btwn lunch and dinner, 30-50g protein dinner w/ veggies and some carbs. Is this sufficient? Sometimes on the weekends I'll also hit 4-5 scrambled eggs in the AM. I can add this every day. Just trying to balance protein/calorie intake with my goal to trim the spare tire down.

I'm also training for a half so along with my PPSA workouts 4 days / week i'm getting in usually a 4 mile run and 9 mile run every week right now.
