EPTGoal is to get my squat (belt, wraps) from 170 to 210. Hopefully new year drinking wont interfere as it will be between week 1 and 2 of introductory cycle and I have kept myself squatting.

Would any of you guys have a suggestion for a workout plan for me to look into? I want to compete at a small meet in May. FWIW I consider myself in decent shape for my age. I work out regularly with a bunch of college age guys and I can usually hang just fine with them, I just have to take nutrition, stretching and warming up much more seriously than they do. Thanks ahead for any advice! | ||

Thanks ahead for any advice! What are your current 1RMs? I think the best program for the person depends a lot on how strong you are. | ||

Thanks ahead for any advice! Could I get my hands on your program? is it for all lifts? I followed Sheiko's BP program outlined in another book and my bench went from 96kg to 120kg in 10 weeks. Btw u quite strong benching :p. What's ur height? | ||

http://www.t-nation.com/portal_includes/articles/2008/Sheiko13weekworkout.html I'm 5'9. One thing I found with this workout though is I had to supplement it with light cardio/core days since it's only 3 days a week. At the beginning I was getting stronger on my lifts but started to feel like my core was getting neglected. I guess that's the point of the plan, increase the lifts and nothing else, so I should have expected that. Again, I didn't do much research though lol, literally my buddy emailed me the link and was like "we're doing this!" and of course they all petered out after a few weeks but I stuck with it  | ||

Your deadlift seems broken, do you train it often? There's no way you should be able to lift more with your chest than you can with your whole body :p | ||

There's no way you should be able to lift more with your chest than you can with your whole body :p lol, yeah it kinda is. Maybe I can deadlift more now but I haven't maxed it in months, while I did the other two a few weeks ago. Last time around all I cared about was my bench, and I slacked off hard on squats and deadlifts. Technique was terrible too. I just kinda went through the motions with the lower body stuff. All my life I'd struggled with bench, so when it started clicking I kinda got tunnel vision and only cared about that. Plus, like I said before, this was my first time hitting heavy weights in a long time, so some things were just plain lacking (like my lower body stuff) while my upper body was in decent shape from doing pushups and stuff. But hey, that's part of the fun, tracking progress, right? This time around I'm gonna hit deadlifts and squats a lot harder to get all three numbers in line with each other. Sheiko was awesome for increasing my bench, but it kind of left me wanting for more dynamic range of motion stuff. Like my abs kinda went from "not a six pack but could get there" to "I have a gut". That's want I meant by my core kind of falling apart when I stuck with strictly Sheiko. | ||

Is it because it's safer regarding injuries and stuff? If the only reason is to lift more that seems kinda silly to me. Enlighten me please =) Here's a nice article about it: http://www.criticalbench.com/bench-shirt.htm But simply, people just want to lift more and gear helps them do that. | ||

Well thats true for suits, and to some extent belt/knee wraps, but for example my wrist can't take heavy BP without wrist wraps because of my wide grip. | ||

How is that not a bad thing to do! | ||
