I'd do Powerbuilding 1 first and see how you like that. Cycling that with Hypertrophy I would be reasonable IMO....

Hey Wik,

That sounds like a good idea and I think that if it's been longer than 3 months, just start on Phase 1. If it's been 2-3 weeks,...

RH,

Thanks for the post and your business. We really appreciate it!

As for your questions:

1) I would replace day...

Ishmael,

I think I'd probably gain some LBM now at a rate of 1-3lbs per month. I don't know if cutting now would help you get to your goal...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

Not really. MPS rates fall back to baseline about 90-120 min after feeding regardless of additional protein intake and then it takes another 90 min or...

Sure. We don't think it'd be a bad program if it was removed from the associated culture. It's not how we would ideally program for the beginner population,...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

Yea I don't really know that more frequency is going to be the ticket here necessarily. That said, I do agree that increased frequency can be a viable...

Not as part of deadlift-specific work, no. Swimming doesn't really work that well for hypertrophy compared to resistance training. You'd do worse from...

I'd probably lower the protein by 50g and keep the rest of the nutrition the same as long as you're losing weight.

I think if you want to...

1) So the 2 @ 7 is a warm up weight,...

Abrahammoe,

Thanks for the post! I actually really like ab wheel rollouts. I would just do submaximal sets of whatever rep range gets you...

I don't think this is important at all....

We use the AACE guidelines, but other organizations use different cutoffs. I think the European guidelines and AACE guidelines are the best tools to use....

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

Maybe. I don't think SSLP is a great program in general, especially those wanting to become a world class powerlifter. I wouldn't make any changes in...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I don't think your knees are likely to hurt from "going out too far". I think if the squat shoes change your mechanics in a way where you're...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I think most people aren't qualified to have an opinion on the topic. I would not change anything related to RT based solely on the presence (or absence)...

Egghead,

Thanks for the post and your business Some answers below:

1) The program is not a press-focused template. Strength...

Loggerboots,

I'd probably run the hypertrophy 1 or powerbuilding 1 template for this application....

Decgreg,

Thanks for your post and I hope you're doing well.
