I'm more of a sci fi nerd, but I do love me some D&D.

Sci-fi, fantasy and horror for me. Books, television shows and movies. Don't do much gaming anymore, but RPGs were my favorite.
is that a quote from a movie?putting a gorilla in full nelson
Book.lol they've yet to make an accurate Tarzan movie mostly do to political correctness involving race. Not that he was racist the whole moral to most of the situations in there are about judging people on their actions not the color of their skin.
I had Tarzan records when I was a kid. We would play the records and follow along with matching books. Loved that shit
Wait...what the fucks a record?

Having been reading Brandon Lilly's book, 365 strong (thanks @RodgerThat ), the Cube Method looks interesting, to say the least... what do you guys think about it? Anybody utilized it successfully?
Overall it's a pretty decent program but there are significant critiques to it when applied for sport specific training regarding powerlifting. If you don't plan on actually competing and just want to get bigger and stronger it could work pretty well for you. I think there are better programs out there but liking your program goes a long way towards being consistent with it which is very important to progress.

I think I'm gonna give it a whirl and see where it goes, since I've got a LONG way to go before I attempt a meet. Probably another 2 years, at least.
Thanks doc.

100% think it's more important to like your program then the programming itself. If it lines up with your goals and you like it you'll make sure you never miss a session and you'll enjoy it and that's what we are all really here for is the love of it. It's been about 16 weeks since I've run any "program" that would be recognized by anyone as good, I'm doing the movements I love and then throwing in accessories as neccasary to avoid imbalances and injury.

Hey man don't gotta win your first meet I wouldn't hold yourself back form competing just cause you aren't at the elite level, it's good to get a few under your belt and you learn a hell of a lot just attending them

Like @RodgerThat said, you might want to look into a meet near you just to try it. I always held off on competing because I thought I was too weak, but everyone thinks that at first; plus now that I'm planning on my first meet it gives me something to work towards.

If up wait until you think you're strong enough you'll never compete.
Exactly what the others have said about this man. You're never going to be strong enough if you wait till you're strong enough. You're competing against yourself first and foremost to set PRs. This is your number 1 goal. So you could compete in 6months just to set your baseline and get your name in the books. Plus it'll give you invaluable experience into how meets to and what's needed to prepare for them. They're not easy to say the least

I guess that's a better way of looking at it than I have been... I've always had the mindset of wanting to show up as a nobody and pull some big #'s.
Thanks for the insight, boys

This is basically where I'm at in my training at this point. I feel good, I'm strong and getting stronger, and I enjoy my gym sessions to the max. For now, I don't need a program. I may look into following something in a month or two, or I may not. I'll just see how I'm doing and evaluate from there.

Five days out until meet day. I can't wait.
