Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Son Goku]

Any recommendations for intermediate or advanced PPL workout programs?

In truth, because PPL is not really a program, there are so many ways to skin the proverbial cat. Are you doing it because you have poor self control and need to be in the gym 5-6 days a week? Are you doing it primarily for size or strength? Are your numbers actually intermediate or advanced or have you just been in the gym for a while and so you think you are?


I've yet to find one so I end up making my own. Most PPL programs are either: too low in volume, too focused on hypertrophy, or too focused on machine and DB work.

She also benched 303 raw in a comp. If y'all think "technique" is her secret sawce, I got some mountains in FLawda to sell you.


She's also a 168 lb-er so "little" is somewhat relative...

oh wow she's a legit pawg

Also I thought you stopped giving training and supplement advice.

I don't consider that advice, just observations from me asking that question myself at one point.

She's also a butterface on roids with no teddies, but sure.

MPMD unknowingly having an e-mail from Brian Johnson requesting HGH advice this whole time is crazy, what a saga

i feel like my prs haven’t been growing at the rate i would like anymore, i keep having off days and seemingly regressing once i hit 4 plates smh

I prefer to work out 6x a week because I’m more productive overall on days I workout. The goal is to get shredded. My numbers are intermediate to advanced now. Started off with Coolcicada’s PPL for a year. Then I did Mike Rashid’s regular workout & overtraining routine this past year. Just looking for something new for the new year.

I agree, most PPL’s are lacking in multiple areas. I guess I can use musclewiki to create my own routine

Define “rep”

 

[africngiant]

Define “rep”

i was trying to hit 3x3 but my grip kept slipping off at times at the midpoint or right before the lockout. i also struggled with the initial step to get the bar off the floor. i ended up doing the slack thing by accident though. my 1st attempts it wouldn’t move but once i tried right again it would go up. i kept getting humbled but my last workout with like 90-95% of this weight i was beasting for 5 rep sets

What's your PPL program?

What's your PPL program?

It's pointless to try and copy my shyt.

Unless you're tryna do 240+ working sets a week, you're not gonna be doing right it anyways.
