The cycles for this 3 weeks and a deload or a 6 week cycle? It says to run through the first phase 2x I assume this is 6 weeks of training?

I was going to ask your opinion on the redux, do you think that’s a better template than the original? I’ve done the LCI before with 531 as the main lift and it was similar. I did the bench workout last night with an 85% TM and it smoked me with 35lb DBs for the squats and RDLs but I was able to finish it in at least 45 mins probably less.

Thanks I will either switch in the next little bit or possibly at the first of the year. Should I try to get actual maxes or just use a calculator on those numbers? And do you recommend the 85% TM or lower? I know in the past I’ve used 90.

I have forever, those are the templates I was referring to. I was looking hard at the krypteia template or the fat loss template. I’m looking for general conditioning and 3 days a week is the best fit for my life right now with a young kid. I’d like to get stronger obviously but a slower progression is fine with me at this point.

If the switch from front squat to back squat and only doing it once a week doesn’t cure it I’ll be running box squats for a while. I’m hoping this will help with that and be able to add some upper body size. I’m still trying to lose fat but I’m eating plenty and walking quite a bit so I’m hoping I will be able to still make some gains in that area.

Anybody ever used the power building templates from that book? Specially the push pull legs? Going to run it a while just curious if anyone has used it.

Generally I don’t do any running except this time of year. I hunt a ton in a pretty rough part of the Appalachian mountains and cover probably 12-20k steps most days mostly either up or down hills and its a lot more enjoyable without sucking wind ??

I’ll start back up with that. I’ve been running the squat heavy once a week and then front squat one of the workouts. Since I’m just going to be hitting it 2 times a week and maybe a day at home of just some bodyweight stuff figuring that out won’t be an issue.

I’m going to be running 2 days a week on gslp for about another month but most of my lifts have stalled twice. Bench at 240, press I may get a few more workouts doing 3x3 but 170 will be pushing it, squat 3x3 at 345 was pretty tough and deadlift recently reset at 405. Do you all recommend switching lifts and pushing through a few more times or swapping programs at this point? Still eating in a deficit but nothing crazy low, feel fine to keep pushing but I’m a little beat up.
