I have no problem with how long the assistance work is. I might actually do 5/3/1 again after christmas before I look into anything long term... I'll have another look at The Triumvirate so that I get more out of it.

 

[El Freako]

Which periodization protocol were you considering?

 

[tim290280]

Please say eastern block undulation.

 

[Skeptic]

hahaha I need to look into more types of periodization, the only ones I've had a good look at are the Linear western and the conjugated one...

If there are other forms It would be much appreciated letting me know


Tunen sent me this awhile back, I'll have to have a good look through it again though. http://www.timinvermont.com/fitness/period2.htm

Deadlifts were feeling pretty strong today... I reckon 190kg is within my grasp!

They have a sign on the squat racks now that says all squats and deadlifts are to be performed WITHIN the squat rack due to some recent injuries... fucking retards.

[Skeptic]

^ exactly what I was thinking. I CAN'T do sumo's within the squat rack. Fuck them.

 

[El Freako]

Then fuck them and do it outside the rack, tell them you can't do sumos in the rack.

 

[Skeptic]

haha I did do them outside the rack. None of the PT's seemed to care.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Solid sumo deads skippy!
