LOL is this real life?! | ||

Hurricane, I recently changed up my routine I was doing: Squat, Bench and Deadlift on day A Front Squat, PowerClean and C&J on day B I mixed it up so I do: Day A: Squat, PC and C&J Day B: Front Squat, Deadlift and Bench Day B allows me to go all in on Deadlift without having the soreness of the heavy Squat in my legs. Win Win :D | ||

There is so much misinformation based on anectodal evidence and so much broscience about working out I figured I'd just pick an expert and listen to him until I found reason to switch. I've heard from several people that training to failure is where it's at. Who knows? I've only been doing serious barbell training for 3 months or so, I'm just trying to find a routine I like that gives results. I started out with a split routine with squats on mondays, bench on wednesday and deads on friday. I switched to big three mostly because I felt I wasn't doing squats often enough to get my form right and I'd read that split routines was for advanced lifters. Now, I did just come out of a pretty severe bout of the flu, and that might be all this is  I'm gonna keep it up for another week and see where I end up, and if I'm still having trouble I'll start tweaking. Thanks for the input all =) I don't remember him ever saying this; however if your talking about the reverse pyramid training he advocates, I believe he was talking about that while dieting down and on a cut. AFAIK, somebody mentioned doing 5/3/1 on a cut, and he said he much prefers RPT when doing that. | ||
