Anyone know of any good powerlifting programs? Let me know please
NurseGray maybe some help here...Anyone know of any good powerlifting programs? Let me know please
Well if all you care about is strength you could go with a standard 5-3-1 program or if your into high volume type stuff a mountain dog program is really good.I really just wanna be as strong as possible. I've never had any experience with a true powerlifting program
Too advanced for a beginning powerlifter, and it's more of a powerbuilding program. PH3 is only recommended for people with over an 1100 total already.I'm trying out the PH3 program now
Cube has never done crap for my bench - not the standard 1x/wk as written. It's most useful for my deadlift honestly as it keeps me pulling while managing back fatigue.I'm tempted to try the Cube (for bench) as well.
That's actually good to hear (for me) because I'll need to pull back a bit on frequency after my next program, and then reintroduce it slowly.Cube has never done crap for my bench - not the standard 1x/wk as written.

There's a reason Lilly wrote the Predator template - more frequently a raw guy can bench, the faster he gets better. The standard once a wk with some ohp on the weekend isn't enough for a weaker bencher as its just not enough work for most.
So Cube is great in summary, but it absolutely requires you to take ownership of your programming and be honest about what you need and what is and isn't working.
I'm using it now again to get ready for comp. It carries a lot of principles we've seen work for Westside, which again is a system that demands the lifter really attacks their weaknesses intelligently to progress. But both programs are really more training ideologies in general vs a cookie cutter template - which is excellent as a lifter increases in qualification but suboptimal (at best) for a newcomer to strength work. Starting strength would be a great way to go there.That's actually good to hear (for me) because I'll need to pull back a bit on frequency after my next program, and then reintroduce it slowly.

This is why I'm such a huge advocate of corrective exercises, prehab, rehab etc... I am living and training with a couple permanent injuries that don't require surgery (yet).Two things you can take to the bank on cube predator. You will bench more than you thought possible in six weeks of work, and you will be beat to hell or on the razor's edge of an injury. Like Hyde said, it requires you to take ownership of how much punishment you should subject yourself to, not how much you can.
Even the best prehab doesn't cover everything with that kind of frequency, but we don't have Lilly's size, genetics, or drug regiment either.This is why I'm such a huge advocate of corrective exercises, prehab, rehab etc...

True, my regimen on PH3 should be decent though. Trest ace, GH, BPC-157 if needed. I still need to read up on predator. Cube is fairly new to me.Even the best prehab doesn't cover everything with that kind of frequency, but we don't have Lilly's size, genetics, or drug regiment either.
I spend more time weekly on prehab than 99% of people do training and ended up with shot elbows and pec injuries.This is why I'm such a huge advocate of corrective exercises, prehab, rehab etc... I am living and training with a couple permanent injuries that don't require surgery (yet).
Is it worth it in the long run to follow a program that does this to you? I'd be more concerned with longevity.I spend more time weekly on prehab than 99% of people do training and ended up with shot elbows and pec injuries.
I think it You can tweak it to work for you and run it once or twice a year, you're good. I believe that's how it's meant to be utilized. It will help greatly if you're in shape, efficient, and healthy. If not, it's a risk. But it's all a risk to some degree.Is it worth it in the long run to follow a program that does this to you?

You do lift far more weight than I do though.
How are you planning to train after your meet?I think it You can tweak it to work for you and run it once or twice a year, you're good. I believe that's how it's meant to be utilized.

Good question. Not really sure, but after a meet I don't like to get too heavy for a month or so. Probably with minimal equipment and high volume with occasional Westside days in there. I like to use accommodating resistance often.How are you planning to train after your meet?
