    Thanks for that, that seems like a good idea for squatting numbers anyway, so might give that a try. Do you have a link to the article or website for this?

    Need some opinions - Beginner/Intermediate lifting programs

    yep i've decided on 5/3/1 with boring but big assistance, i decided on this for a few reasons. Firstly, I'm always short of time these days considering i'm doing 2 different lots of training on mon, wed and fri for my thai boxing/mma/wrestling etc. 5/3/1 seems the least time consuming...

    Westside looks interesting, i'm basically just training up for the next PTC comp in august now, would love to hit 150 squat, 200 dead and 100 bench by then. Honestly though, i'd struggle to hit 85 bench at the moment so it doesn't seem like a very good goal, but west side has much more upper...

    Okay so i was thinking about maybe doing a 3x5 program but use the 5/3/1 style boring but big assistance program? A layout might look something like the following: Monday - Squat 3x5 Bench 3x5 Assistance: Squat 3x10 or 5x10 @50% Bench 3x10 or 5x10 @50% Chins/Pullups Wednesday - Squat 3x5...

    I eat around 4k cals a day, sleep around 8 hours seeing that i'm still slowly increasing in body weight i don't think upping the cals anymore would do much. Its not that my upper body can't handle heavier weight, its just that doing the prescribed reps/weight in texas method is just not enough...

    It is an option but I have never had a educated attempt of building a program. also, a slight edit to my original thread: Apart from a program with a higher volume/intensity on the upper body lifts. I was looking for any ideas or past experiences on certain programs, exercises or anything else...

    well, so far the options are back to 5x5, cube or 5/3/1, not too keen on 5/3/1, don't know a whole lot about cube and eh for the 5x5. i'll probably stick to straight 5x5

    On the topic of dencorub and other related oils/balms. I've been using some natural thai liniment stuff lately, comes in oil and a pasty texture lots of different kinds, i've ordered namman muay. This shit is something else. Its like deep heat on steroids, go for a quick run after applying to...

    Would it be a good idea to run a similar basic program (5x5, 3x5 progressions or whatever) but substitute upper body with a particular bench or press cycle for that lift only? if theres even such thing?

    Need some opinions - Beginner/Intermediate lifting programs

    I don't doubt that i could still use 5x5 as an advantage although will it be effective on my upper body lifts is what i'm most concerned with, and what version of 5x5 would be most beneficial for the upper body? Do you have a link, name or sample of a program which used such set/rep ranges for...

    fasted comps

    I entered my last comp after about 4 months of fasting although I didn't actually compete fasted although I didn't do very well but this was more because I lost so much weight during that time, there was no real gain in strength over the time, just holding on to whatever I had, so I ended up a...
