*its a basic routine, give it a try for a few weeks, you can alter it to suit your self and goals. make sure that your taking in enough protein and carbs or all the training in the world wont make you bigger and stronger, also keep your water levels up.

chris jenkins

make sure you log your progress, move up 2.5-10kgs every week on your compound movements.

robdog

I wont be giving it a try until my back is fixed mate. I do want to get more into power movements but until the physio has told me whats wrong with my back i aint doing squats or deads. :(

I hope so to mate. TBH i need an MRI scan i think but because im going through the national health they are the last resort. Ive had an Xray but i didnt think that would show anything. Physio is next but that can take up to 12 weeks:(.

When you talk about these ^^^^, are you talking about the sort you see a lot of BBers do or the heavier bent knee type that seem to be the favourites of Power lifters.

Also worth explaining the differences if you can (im sure id get it wrong).

Also cant do these heavy ATM, bloomin hamstring injury (didnt realise how much it effects so many of the lifts)

bent knee GMs are a beast for the hams!

supersetting light squats with GMs is great for overall strength

just quick question whats rack lock outs?

Con

Deadlifts within a rack thus reducing your range of motion (use heavier weights than from the floor).

joepeeps

This is a great routine..but my question is that it seems like a lot of volume...4 days a week..hope this isn't a dumb question but is this routine aimed at natural lifters??don't mean any offence btw but i'm just interested in why their are so many exercises..a lot of natural routines i have seen have much less volume than this but having seen how much you lift obviously you know your stuff!!!

Bulldozer

Its a bloody good question mate if you ask me.

I would personally say NO. Its not for a natty lifter.

Too many workout days and too much volume and force. I reckon i would soon burn out on it personally.
