Hi,

I just bought your Beginner Template Program and finished reading the PDF as well as watching your video. I was surprised to see that in the excel sheet, the overhead press (starting week 1) is programmed in for 2 out of the 3 days with the bench only programmed in once per week. I was wondering if this was a mistake as in the video narrated by Dr. Feigenbaum, it shows his template with bench programmed in twice a week. While I enjoy both movements, I’m more interested in the bench press and was hoping I could change it?

Furthermore I’ve also read the To Be A Beast article and have a question about my nutrition, can I ask it here or should I post it in the nutrition section?

Thanks in advance!

Sure, you can change it in accordance with your goals.

And let’s use the nutrition forum for your other question.

Thanks for the quick reply! When I go to change the OHP to bench on day 1 of week 1, I get this: “=OFFSET(‘PROGRAMMING SKELETON’!G118,F2-1,0)”. Do you have any input on how I should change that since I imagine if I just change the name, it wouldn’t link up to the e1RM charts.
