Powerbuilding 1 questions

Hey guys

  1. From week 2 there are no ramp up sets can I still inlcude them in exercises in block 1-2 or will they interfere with program?

  2. block 1 day 2 can i sub the programmed exercises for either box squat/lunges/pin squat/split squat?

  3. will it be a problem if i do additional upper back work in the form of pull ups?

Thanks in advance

Valle,

Thanks for the post. You can continue to do the ramp up sets if you prefer them. For exercise 2 on day 2, pin squat or box squats would be fine. Finally, if you can do more than ~10 pull ups unbroken, I think they can be used in the GPP upper back work. Less than that, I start to worry about the relatively high fatigue costs for low volume being completed, with other options like being better suited to the application. For those wanting to work on their pull-ups, I think it’s fine to keep them in even if proficiency isn’t quite there yet.

Hey Jordan

Basically thats what I will do on the gpp days on programmed AMRAPS Pull up variations. The additional pull up work I was referring to will be 3-4 max rep sets for testing progress and adding pullup volume is it okay like that. Also Im going a little bit offtopic but i keep forgetting to ask are you guys going to release any online courses like programming/exercise selection/rehabilitation and anything training related Im definitely buying it if you do

Yes, we’ve been working on additional programming resources for awhile now. Gonna keep chipping away at them little by little.
