Bridge Nearing completion, I love training

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Starting 7th week of bridge next week and planning ahead.

BW unchanged(6’ 1", 180, 34" WC 43 male), I’m confident deadlift is up 360:1@9, to 405:1@8.5. Squat is up, though the exact numbers are amorphous as I work through depth, form and LBBS transition. OHP/Bench are, within a margin of error, where they were at the start. (305:1@9, 165:1@9, 235:1@9 respectively–having a tough time hitting 8 on singles).

Qualitatively I’m 100% certain my quads protrude further over my knees than they did before. :stuck_out_tongue: I did not feel fatigued (except in the few hours immediately post-workout) during the program; and was always excited to be able to go and train.

I love the progress I’m making on the DL and squat, but I’d also love to be making progress on the bench/OHP.
Evaluating the following options with that in mind (continued DL/Squat improvement, additional bench/OHP):

  1. Run Bridge again (I would expect to continue to make progress on DL/squat)
  2. Run Strength 1.0
  3. Run Bridge 3.0
  4. ???

I could also add some calories, but I wanted to try to first tease out any other recomp potential and all of my goals are long term, so I’d prefer to avoid a program that lets me put up big numbers at the cost of long term progress.

Smokes,

Thanks for the message and I hope you’re doing well.

I’d probably run Strength I or Powerbuilding I if it were me in this situation. Glad you liked the template!

Thanks for the well wishes, Jordan. I hope your training is going well as well. :slight_smile:

I read their synopses and I’d like to run both. MWF/TRS split? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Will start with powerbuilding, ty sir!
