  • It may be worth checking out the Candito 6 week strength program. It's freely available and there's a free app called Bootcamp which has it there for logging. I've been using it for a while now and haven't hit any plateaus.

    It's an upper/lower split but each week has a different focus, building up to testing your 1rm on the last week.

  • ... and there's a free app called Bootcamp

    Ah, this turned out to be a really good tip. And I am surprised at how much they give you for free. For anyone else interested it's called *Boostcamp

    I've not had the time to really get my head around what I want to do in terms of optional exercises for the Candito and GZCL programs. So instead I am jumping straight into something called PHUL mainly as it was four days a week and had the easiest to use interface.

    That being said, if I could find the time to sit down and have a good think about how to tweak the T3 area of GZCL then that would probably be the best program.
    There is supposedly a squat and bench only version of GZCL floating around the internets but the spreadsheets I could find just melted my brain.

  • Pretty sure I typed in Boostcamp and it autocorrected 🙄 anyway, yeah it's an excellent UI considering it's free.

    In other news I tested my 1rm for deadlifts this morning and pulled a single at 140kg.
    Surprised myself as it's 30kg more than I've done before. I'm really glad I posted a form video here a couple of weeks ago, it's definitely given me more confidence and the generally tension throughout my body is much higher, especially around the traps and lats.

    Anyway, now have to re-evaluate my deadlift goal for next year as my goal was going to be 1rm at 140kg......
