Im in!
Meadows? I’ve seen it but not watched it yetHas anyone watched his recent video on 3 different variations of hammer curls? I suggest you do. I did the spider variation and that is the best I have felt doing hammers in a while.
That is basically the movement I did that he had in the video. Hammers to the side, but you dangle your arm over a preacher bench like a spider curlMeadows? I’ve seen it but not watched it yet
I trained arms Thursday too, may change preacher hammers to slides next time
I'm right there with you. I'm liking it so far. You are right though...my legs are always sore. Those sets of 30 on the LP killed me yesterday.What’s you guys thoughts on the creeping death 2 program for those who have started using it?
I’m starting week 3 tomorrow. To me the workouts a little longer than I’d like on the push and pull days (day 1 and 2 of the week). The pump days aren’t as bad as they include supersetting. The recovery seems better for the upper body as out don’t destroy the muscle as much as his other programs that you only do the muscle once a week. However, legs are smashed pretty hard twice a week which got my legs always sore.
Overall, good so far.

Omg the leg press drop set of death earlier in the week was probably the most sore pump in my quads I’ve ever had.I'm right there with you. I'm liking it so far. You are right though...my legs are always sore. Those sets of 30 on the LP killed me yesterday.
Good to hear. I messed my lower back up and had to stop Taskmaster a few weeks ago. I can't decide if I want to jump back in where I left off with Taskmaster or start CD2. Either is probably a win.What’s you guys thoughts on the creeping death 2 program for those who have started using it?

I try to. I have noticed, for me at least, that it is sometimes hard to hit the RPE along with hitting the specified reps. Im either too low in RPE or too high in reps OR I am at the right RPE but miss the reps.Do you guys try and hit the RPE suggestions for these programs?
Always brother.Do you guys try and hit the RPE suggestions for these programs?
Yeah, I tried at the start, but found it to be distracting. It might be easier on a second pass through a program, at least for me.I try to.

It's kind of time consuming but alot of his stuff requires sufficient warm up sets. Alot of volumeI try to.

Learned this lesson the hard way. Even if I'm short on time, I can't be skipping warm ups at 42.It's kind of time consuming but alot of his stuff requires sufficient warm up sets. Alot of volume
Yea absolutely. Ive been doing my best to take the warm ups slow lately to try and really feel out the RPE and reps and where I should be. Getting better at it but still miss here and there.It's kind of time consuming but alot of his stuff requires sufficient warm up sets. Alot of volume
I ran that same program and thought it was a great program.Week 12 day 2 Gamma Bomb....holy titty pump! First go round with a meadows program, very impressed. I recommend this program to any one:squareeyed:
I ran that same program and thought it was a great program.
Now I’m trying to decide between Creeping Death 2, Jordan Peters High Frequency Program, or Fortitude Training.
Understand how to do Fortitude Training?If you understand how to do it.. Let us know!
Understand how to do Fortitude Training?
Yeah. I’ve found several in Gamma Bomb and Creeping Death 1. You would think those would have been taken care prior to releasing the programs. But it is what it is lol.You guys notice a lot of typos in his workouts? Week 3, Tuesday of CD2. Should be 12 instead of 10 I'm guessing.
Yeah, I kind of want to reach out and see if he'll give me programs in exchange for editing!Yeah. I’ve found several in Gamma Bomb and Creeping Death 1. You would think those would have been taken care prior to releasing the programs. But it is what it is lol.
I’ve also found sentences that just don’t make sense at all.
lol. I’ve thought about this as well.Yeah, I kind of want to reach out and see if he'll give me programs in exchange for editing!
Damn. That’s a shame. I haven’t read through too much of it yet.Scott Stevensons new ebook does as well.
Lol I keep seeing that. Confused me for a sec while I was moving between sets... He's never really had that problem before....Yeah I’m in week 3 of cd2 and two times he’s labeled an exercise biceps but it’s a tricep exercise.
It hit me. I skipped the leg day yesterday. Did second back workout. Today I'm taking off and tommorow I will resume with the heavy leg day. I was into my first set of heavy squats with my working weight on on the third rep my hamstring started to quiver. I racked the wieght and switched to back pump.The high volume twice a week of Creeping Death 2 is starting to creep up on me. Body's starting to fatigue and looks like I may have to use that optional deload week sometime during this program.
Do you know of any good material for ART?The volume on the power days can truly get you for a few reasons
1 - dietary needs ... if you are dieting or even maintaining this program may be way too much volume
2 - sleep . If your not getting adeuaqte sleep you will feel the program creep up on you “pun intended”
3 - stretch , ART work - highly suggest hitting your IT bands, glutes , low back, calves and hammies two times a week of legs with a large amount of volume will take its toll . Stay fresh
I put a few people around my gym through the leg workouts and they were sore for 4 days.
I definitely have a little bit of 1 2 and 3 going on. I need to make some adjustmentsThe volume on the power days can truly get you for a few reasons

Rumble rollDo you know of any good material for ART?
I’m also trying to to find books on Myofascial Release Technique and Functional Range Technique. My shoulders have lost quite a bit of mobility in them which I think is causing some of my other issues or at least not helping them.

X2 for DC. Progressive overload, low volume, high frequency, extreme stretching. Every other day off.Low volume = DC training
3x/week very high intensity AdelV

I'll have to Google DC training.X2 for DC. Progressive overload, low volume, high frequency, extreme stretching. Every other day off.
DC needs only 3 days of training. Something like Monday, wednesday, Friday.I'll have to Google DC training.
Unfortunately training weekends is a no good for me tho, I work 12 hour shifts. I'll check it out and see if I can fit it.
