same. stopped me reading right there.
that and a calorie deficit will straight just result in fat being burned off by the body....lol....i wish it was just that simple.
Your setting it up so your PR's come in week2 and at the end of week 2.
personally I would set it up so the best lifts come in week 1 and at the beginning.
I looked at something similar. But my plan worked on PRS in week one...load up the volume in week2, back off on the volume and on week 3...
you want to go one hour straight doing deads. lol
how is your lower back doing at the moment? high rep squats and deads and you have not done a lot of leg or lower back work in years!
whats the work that your doing that needs you to have this sort of fitness/strength?
did them this morning. first time in an age.
overhand grip felt tough on the delts. been pressing a lot recently
so settled on underhand grip - hands about 12 inches apart. 8 sets of 3 building up the volume without too much strain.
GTG again Anthrax.
say you can do 8 reps as a max effort.
on the hour every hour do 3 reps. total volume in a day may be 24reps. do it six times a week.
btw thats not from any book just what i have read off Pavels board.
Of course if u can only do pull-ups at the gym. he recommends ladders...
I have the Book Beyond Bodybuilding. This is outlined in there.
Grease the Groove Technique again from Pavel.
Not used it. But I hear it is very good. Lots of volume, varying intensity, high frequency....nothing to failure...only on the test day.
work with weights to build up your strength and strength endurance for chins and pecs/delts/triceps.
I think you you should easily meet those rep targets.
with about a month to spare would then move to train the specific movements.
use the approach: frequent practice , whilst keeping fresh...
you still sound overtrained.
I would lessen the frequency for while.
get the heavy bar off your back. work your hams/quads etc a different way maybe lunges, stiff legged deads etc
I don't feel quite the same but this week I have taken a week off squats and left it with 5 rep Good Mornings...

why not check out the spreadsheet on the above website.
first go. just plug in the numbers. round down or up based on the output.
on the next run you can modify based on what you have learnt.
just looked at your 1st and fourth week of tuesday...
why change?
you said " it worked very well for me."
keep on it.
just have a backoff week. sounds like your feeling the effects of overreaching. slight nervous system fatigue. no need to radically change whats been working.
I remember Day One - first time in a gym - weak as piss. I could not bench the an olympic bar(45lbs) for 12reps. I kid you not. weighed 110lbs.
my bro on the other hand benched about 100lbs for 10 first day in at the same age. doubled that pretty rapidly on the way to weight gain of about 45lbs...
