If u want to be strong, do what they do in east europe asia! Train twice a day low reps, medium weight, dot get sore, 7 days a week! Weightlifting for power!

Want a big bench! Do that bench 3-4 times/week, 5 set medium weight, 1-3 rep range. And nothing more! Eat food, dont do cardio!

Wendler 5-3-1 system. Simple but works for3-4 cycles. Then, you need something different

I would say your best bet would be to run something like 5x5 or wendlers 5/3/1 for awhile so you were to get a good taste of what strength training is about then you could jump into something like block periodization or the westside barbell/conjugate method where you can use this new found experience to get a bit more creative and put your own spin on things somewhat.

I've always gotten the most out of heavy doubles and triples done for decent volume (10-12 sets).

Get on the Westside Barbell company forum and start worshipping Louis Simmons...


You'll get your answers.


This is a bodybuilding forum, we don't care how strong you are... just how good you (and apparently your wife) look ~

Hypertrophy is the best working all those rep ranges. Will stimulate growth for all types of fiber. Some sets heavy, some light high reps...

If you want to get strong while looking like a bodybuilder and not becoming a fat fuck simply do progressive overload, example you are squatting for 5 sets, set 1 10 reps, set 2 8 reps, set 3 6 reps, set 4  4reps, set 5 2 reps, its that simple.

LOL. If I read another "rehab journal" from some PL'er that jacked up his shoulders with triples, doubles and singles in the bench, I will cry. They all seem oblivious to what hit them there.

You must cycle your lifts in a structured manner.  

Everyone gets stronger when they start training buy you will always plateau- that's when cycling your lifts works. It always works.

The actual set & rep count only matters on your true working sets that are done during your cycle.  

The strongest men in the world didn't get to be that way by random chance.
