awesoem workout

personly i woudl only do it 2 times a week, or adjust it slighlty if i was do it 3 times a week coz theres alot of squating in it

So on a third workout day do deads/bench/back or something like that? Cause I was just gonna go every other day and rotate A and B exercises. Im going 5 to 6 days now trying to go every other day now and maximize my workouts.

Also do you do accessory exercises on all workout days? I love me some weighted dips which I just started doing.

Thanks. I think thats what I'm gonna do rows Pullups dips. Maybe some core. I guess as long as I give legs a break it doesn't matter.

if volume is an issue check out madcows 5x5 program. its basically the same but with some days a heavy lift day, and some a light day to speed recovery up. i dont mind squating alot. i would actually like to try smolov squats program. but im not concerned about that so much. maybe a smolov junior for bench or deads

i woudlnt deadlift becoz its hitting the glutes and lower back hard again, i woudl personly just do some rows, and pull ups

i woudlnt do accesory exercises, as it increases the volume and can amke ti alot harder to gain strength and recover in time

remember this program is about getting big and strong, its not a typical bodybuilding program

Naaah, I love me some accessory exercise. Always needed in my book

agreed, just hit the compound exercises first as they are more important

It's the same reason I disagree with someone who says just cause you are dealifting and doing heavy rows, you don't need to do curls...you always need to do specialization exercises. Once in a while at least.

well. i suppose the first thing to look at is what ur goal is and what kind of training u r doing. me personally i like both compounds and assistance. but for me since my current goal is to up my compounds i work those first followed by some assistance work 2nd. if u r a pro bber you might be into all isolations and pump training. u got monstrous arms alcatraz , clearly every now and then u like a vein training day lol, as do i. i am currently doing 5x5 too. doesnt mean once in awhile when im feeling jacked and ready for more ill do a ez bar curl 5x5 to finish off, some dips till failure or whatever.

also alc, how are you doing after your injury, i remember seeing those when it happened. hope all is healing well good bro!!

I'm healing nicely. Thank you for asking. Still can't do any heavy upper body work, no chest work at all.

I am going heavy on legs...taking it easy on upper body training for the next month or two still.

My goals on Squats is to keep going till I stall out. Then as I'm informed I should go on to madcows or SL advance. I did 10 weeks of Ed Coan bench and Deadlift plan with a shot load of stuff added and hit all my goals and went 30# over what I was shooting for on deads. During that time my Squats struggled. So this program looked good and had good reviews and feed back so I'm in it till I can't go no more...see no reason to stop if I can keep going, which prob won't be but about 3 months till I stall. We'll see.

I looked at the Smolov program and it looks sick. I would like to get to that point one day.
