go back to 3 on 1 off push/pull/legs, well actually for me its push/legs/pull.

Man I did this for years!

Legs, push, pull, off, repeat.

Only switched to do some strongman specific training just in the past 6 months.

I'll probably go back to that routine eventually. With smart exercise selection it really can't be beat.

Plus it lets you focus more on areas that need work

Yea I basically just trained for strength on my big 3 and used accessory movements to work on sticking points and bodybuild lagging muscle groups.

The only negative I could say about that style training, is without good planning and some thought put into exercise selection, it can be easy to over or under train. There's a lot of frequency bc you're hitting every lift 2-3 times a week. But u dont want to cut down on the intensity too much each workout or u can leave a lot on the table if that makes sense.

I found ramping up to a heavy 3x3 on the big lifts, followed by highish volume accessory work was my sweet spot. Like anything else tho, what works for me may be shit for someone else.

I'm not sure what type of weights you're lifting right now, but eventually you're going to realize that's way too much volume.

Whats going on with my PL bros?? Was forced to take 6mo away from lifting, to work obligations. However, I'm getting back into the swing of things.

Just started doing the latest iteration of Brandon Lilly's Cube, so I'm looking forward to some PRs here in the future.

Hey hey man, been good. Work took over for a bit. Feeling weak as hell right now. Haha

 

[Dw725]

I finally pulled 605 tonight in training, relatively easy too. Wish I could have done it a few months back in comp but either way i'm glad I finally accomplished that goal.

Now the question is how many years to 700???

How much Halo are you willing to take at once?

Haha!

This will be the year I try halo for sure. Prob get a feel for it a couple times in training and then try to use it in a meet at some point.

Took an arrow to the knee and looking for a upper body only split as I won’t be doing much walking anytime soon let alone squatting. I will be getting a gyno sergury soon too so I’m hoping to slap on a shit ton of chest gains so that I don’t go back down to pitiful weights after recovery from that too. Knee sergury is very likely too it seems so I’m just fucked for that one and going to try my best to just remain flexible during all this so I can come back with strong ligaments.

 

[RandallNowan]

Fuck, Rodge!

I've still not been back to the gym myself... My intercostal cartilage has now torn all the way round... So I've got constant pain and fuck knows when I can get back in the gym...

A coworker of mine shot himself with an arrow recently. He got very lucky, almost lost a thumb. Good luck man, you've had a rough go. Wishing you the best.

You can't come in here @RodgerThat and talk about taking an arrow to your knee, then not tell the story behind it!

 

[Johnny442]

Damn brother, I hope things turn around for ya!

 

[RodgerThat]

Oh shit lol taking an arrow to the knee is an expression here for hurting your knee. Ummm I fell off of a cliff while trying to rescue someone and tumbled for about 200 feet, lucky to be alive and with minimal other injuries but my leg dislocated and knee joint was cracked but I had to relocate it and hike out on it and that caused a lot of damage, looking at getting an MRI in 3 weeks then possible titanium knee joint if the bone abbrasions doesn’t recalcify smoothly. Very lucky to be alive so I’m 100% okay with this injury and have a really fresh respect for what is life and what I want in the world. Tumbling down a cliff puts things in perspective I can tell you that much for free.

Must be a Canadian thing.... lol
