Ok... only on the LAST set right? ... if i've got it left in me?

Like squats... I can't remember exactly... but say I had more gas than 225x5 .... and went to 225x8 or 225x10?

Would you think that would have left me with less "juice" left to push on the bench?

Eh, just speculation... I should just keep rolling with it. I don't want to add to much and fuck myself over on other lifts.

If the last set of squats is still going smoothly and a tad on the easy side week 4+ then I may have to revamp.

You're deff right on with Bench.. BUT I NEVER trained bench before this past year... (because I always sucked at it...started out benching just the bar back in the day) and this past year I busted my ass DB Benching..

And I'd rather add 5-10 max per week and be progressing more over the long run than add 30lbs and screw myself over... we'll see how my conditioning goes :evil:

Thanks again bro!! Great fuggin' replies!!!!

If you went for 225x10, then it will DEF drain u on the bench, i like to bench first on days where im 'iffy' with the weight so i have all i got. It seems sqauting drains my bench, but not VISE VERSA.

But what weeks are you in? Week 2 weds right? If so, i wouldnt revamp the #'s as of yet. I know they are lighter then what your used to working with. BUT YOU'LL BE IN WEEK 4-5 BEFORE U KNOW IT. So if ya not in weeks 4 yet, then dont bother really trying to keep banging weight. I know its hard to be like WOW i have PLENTY left in the tank, but i should stop now. BUT it has to be done! The program is loading you nicely into your maxes....

The 2nd run im not even deloading, just keeping it going from where i left off, in fact i got new maxes and replugged em in, and im starting from week 4 on my sheet because i dont feel i need to be 'loaded' into my new maxes i want to keep growing...

Trust in the program, its DEF lighter then u want but going overboard in weeks 1-3 could kill u in the long run, you need to have them muscles very conditioned for the beating they will be going through lol

EXACTLY, worry about REVAMPING WEEK 4. i ddint revamp untill week 9 i just went with the program So hey, REVAMP if your not breaking a sweat but i bet u will start battling that weight soon.....

p.s. check my thread, if u read it, u cans me REACHING out to some vets for more workouts i could do weeks 1-4, they told me not to worry let it roll and i did, now im sqauting 360x4 lol from 225x7 =]

Great! Remember, even if your not going to the limits, you are still adding 5+lbs on the bar each week. So reguardless if ur killing urself at the gym, the weight on the bar will go up. Think about it, if your sqauting 250x5, if u stick on the program for 8 weeks and add 5lbs to the bar weekly, u will now have a 290x5 sqaut. 12 weeks a 310x5(but i know ull just go w/ 3 plates lol).

And thats w/o revamping numbers just going with the program....


Thanks again bro!! Great fuggin' replies!!!!


nO PROBLEM BRO, GLad i can help. I figured u would like a nice detailed reply from some1 who actually did the program lol

How did the 225 feel? I wouldn't sweat the bench - I think everybody misses lifts on bench. Here is my thread on missing lifts w/ replies from all the 5x5 experts: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=492827
