Monday: Bench / Press, 2x5, 1x5+ Curls if it's bench day, 2x10-15 Weighted Chins if press day, 2x6-8 Squat 2x5, 1x5+ Wednesday: Bench / Press, 2x5, 1x5+ Curls if it's bench day, 2x10-15 Weighted Chins if press day, 2x6-8 Deadlift 1x5+ Friday: Bench / Press, 2x5, 1x5+ Curls if it's bench day, 2x10-15 Weighted Chins if press day, 2x6-8 Squat 2x5, 1x5+ with the rep-range exercise (curls and chins) add the minimum weight that you can once you've hit the top of the range, then work your way back up. the 1x5+ sets are "to failure" which is expected to happen between 5 and 8 reps. If you can't get 5, take a 10% deload. add the minimum amount to pressing movements, add 5 lbs to squat/dl. In addition to the above, body weight Chins should be done EVERY DAY - that includes "rest days". I believe the recommendation is 3xF OR 15 total reps, whichever is higher. There's also work recommended with a neck harnass, but I don't know anyone who has one of those available unless they bought it for this routine. | ||

Program seems fine, I think the failure every day is going to be too hard, and I remember that there is some scientific evidence against going to failure every day. Also personally I would add rows. Madcow's 5x5 is a really good program if linear progression is desired. | ||

Madcow's 5x5 is a really good program if linear progression is desired. SS advanced novice has you avoid squatting and deadlifting on the same day, although they do suggest a light squat or a front squat. I believe this program is meant to be run as a bridge between programs like SS and TM/Madcows. The idea behind the failure sets is simply that it's foolish to arbitrarily cap yourself at 5 reps on your final set. If you are capable of 6/7/8, do 6/7/8. If you are only capable of 5, simply do 5. It's more like the "rep maxes" on 5/3/1 than it is "going to failure" and it's supposed to drive progression on the same principle. Sure it's done for two exercises a day - but you're not supposed to be as advanced on this program as you are on 5/3/1, so the systemic load of each exercise is easier to recover from. As far as rows, in place of weighted chins I don't think there's much problem with that, the author just prefers chins (which is why there's such an emphasis on them.) One of the main critiques I've ever heard about SS is that there's not enough Pulling to balance the pressing/benching. Obviously this is a step in the right direction in fixing that. | ||

monday bench 80kg 6-6-6 ish (-_-) dead 120kg 3, 110kg 3x5 squat 75kg 5-5 pullups 2 doubles 13 singles wednesday ohp 55kg 5-4, 50kg 5-4. problem with my breathing (as in i couldnt do it) otherwise might have gone better. pclean 60kg ~15 reps. took me like 30 mins before i could do even one. like i'd forgotten how to do them whatsoever. squat 70kg 5-5-5 pullups 5 doubles 7 singles bad week in that + i think smoking is really effecting some of my lifts (powerclean, breathing in ohp, squat, dead) + having 1-2 weeks off has fucked up my bench progress yet again and im almost fainting in powercleans and having to relearn them + i havent eaten enough and really suffering from it in my lifts/recovery. good week in that + getting some assignments done (will quit smoking after) + going to the gym has felt pretty easy and worry-free (im going to another, slightly closer gym) + cut down on fapping = much more energy all round + ohp 55kg 5 reps omg (though, according to my pre-christmas schedual, if i hadnt skipped so many workouts i should be doing 7 reps by now and 60kg next week) why am i writing so much whats wrong with me | ||

@Bigtony sleep is REALLY important, and not getting enough sleep has a cumulative effect. You really should prioritize those 8 hours! | ||

Lol, two days ago I went to the gym, ready to tear shit up, and then I notice I have no gym pants. Didn't want to go workout in boxers. Too much of a wuss to squat in that. Came back for revenge next day and had a really nice workout . Stopping gym for christmas was a stupid idea, but I'm coming back quite fast, trying to eat and sleep the best I can. So far I've been able to manage it quite well. | ||

to the poster above: AFAIK, you cannot spot-burn-fat. Getting "lean and ripped" down there is a consecuence of good dieting and good exercising. Doing core lifts (Squats, deadlifts, etc) will help you get your core in a proper state so that when your eating habits catch up, you'll have that sexy 6pack you always wanted. Ask decaf, motherfucker doesn't even do a plank and the guy has a 4pack visible even when he's bulking lol. | ||

Other times, people are traveling with/to visit family. People don't always take a break by choice. @funkie there is no "AFAIK" to that - it is impossible to spot-reduce fat, period. | ||

I would have had to prioritise gym over family and important events with friends at times, which I find somewhat unacceptable, or at least my priorities are not that way. I would have been able to work out irregularily, 1-2 times a week if I really tried to, which is what I probably should have done but what I didn't. However, my BW actually dropped 3kg during this time, which is also why I've been trying to concentrate really hard on eating clean/enough, along with working out. So far so good | ||

Edit: by everything else I mean your muscles of course, not advocating getting fat just to weigh a certain amount XD | ||
