Still doing Crossfit. My endurance has increased a lot, but I'm going to try some 2 a days every so often to make sure I stay strong.

Last Monday I did the following workout, called Linda:

10 sets, starting with 10 reps and decreasing by 1 of:

Deadlift (1.5x body weight, 270lb)

Bench (body weight, 180)

Power Clean from ground (.75x body weight, 135)

[Synthetic <3]

Anyone wanna recommend me a pure strength routine?

Crossfit and/or rings. I have rings in my garage and I love them.

[mrchariybrown]

Anyone wanna recommend me a pure strength routine?

SPBR (10char)

[sensible shoes]

i can keep up the warrior diet if i start a 5x5 program right?

just supplement with post-training shake and bcaas before...?

also. ive read that working out prior to the meal at night is the best time to do so. im more of a morning person, how does this affect gains?

also. lol at workout called "linda"

[mrchariybrown]

I suggest you just try it and see if it works for you.

it might or might not be the right diet for you.

never know until you try.

ive been on it for a good 4 months or so. but mainly stuck to cardio. so i know its the right diet for me atm. but just wondering if it is advisable for lifting aswell

[mrchariybrown]

I feel like I'm repeating myself..

is it advisable for lifting as well?

you won't know until you try.

do it and see if it works for you. if it does, then it's a yes. if it doesn't, then a no.

[mrchariybrown]

there's no magic diet for everyone on any specific routine.

if that were true, wouldn't all powerlifters be on the same exact diet and wouldn't all bodybuilders be on a diet similar to each other.

[daphneYOUfindME]

i went to the gym with a 405 pull in mind. managed to get 375 but 385 barely got off the ground. pulled 335 for 3 and 4 afterwards. rarghghghhg

weighed in at 149.2 afterwards.

[Leeacto]

Pretty good strength to body weight anyway.

Do you like conventional or sumo more? I try to do conventional until it gets to over 375

[daphneYOUfindME]

i prefer sumo. i'm going to start doing deficit pulls when i get back from vacation.

Well first you need to gauge your recovery ability. I don't think maximal strength gains can be achieved with a three day total body workout, especially if adding in HIIT.

But if you have above average recovery than I don't think it'd be a problem.

Since it sounds like you're bored with split training though, I think maybe a crossfit program would be best. Well, I'm sure leeacto will chime in on this.

My opinion of what you should do though, is

Do a routine that is based off squat/bench/dead/ohp - maybe 5/3/1 or just a westside routine. You'll gain crazy strength off both (at least according to the hundreds/thousands that follow these routines and post about their experience.) SPBR is a great strength routine as well.

Now for diet, just follow the warrior diet. So far everyone that follows the warrior diet/leangains approach make significant strength gains while losing bodyfat and retaining muscle mass. So it'd be perfect for you imo. I haven't heard too many stories of people bulking up on this diet though.

Perfect recomp diet.

Anyone wanna school me on how to effectively train westside style?

[mrchariybrown]

intensity on max effort days.

swallow your pride and check your ego at the door for dynamic effort days. speed is key. poundage is not.

if done right, strength gains will come at you in leaps and bounds. at least it did for me a few years back when I ran it. first time I hit 300+/430+/500+ on B/S/D was on the wsbb routine.

[FADEtoDARKNESS]

Any recomendations for a good template to follow?

[mrchariybrown]

I'll dig up the routine I was doing tomorrow..

right now, it's 3:50 AM, I'm 11,000 calories deep topped off with some weed, champagne, and scotch.

I am BEAT. good night world. and happy new years.

[NatseOklim]

Any of you man enough to try this workout?

Did 5 x 3 Deadlifts today. Went from 315 to 405. Though not my best effort, I'm still happy w/ it.

[gaydad]

hey guys spring is coming around and im planning to plan a cut. right now im steady bulking at around mid-170lbs 10%bf. hopefully get to 8% in april. everytime i cut i lose a lot of muscle and gain it back lean so it evens out. but hopefully this time i can just cut fat and not loose too much muscle like the usual cuts. what deficit do you guys recomend

i think 40-40-20 works well for me so maybe a 300-500 deficit for 12 weeks. not sure yet. any resources is apprecaite

[noviss900]

^^ I'm pretty much gonna do the same thing. 40-40-20 and about 500kc under maint. Supposedly taking BCAA's helps to retain muscle when cutting. I've never done it so I can't say if it does or not.

[gaydad]

^^ hmm yea maybe bcaa but i have a skeptic about putting faith in supplements. im on the fence about cardio wonder what ppl think. most articles for the more higher bf% people. not too much article to teach to get from relatively lean to super shred.

[DoitsuJin]

hello fellow supermeatheads! that time of the year again.

i've been stim-free for about 6-months now so i'm looking to try something again. narrowed down to two choices:

pre-surge unleashed + intrabolic (Athletic Edge Nutrition)

or

green magnitude + purple in-train + white flood ? (Controlled Labs)

[FADEtoDARKNESS]

jack3djack3djack3djack3djack3d

[DoitsuJin]

jack3d is always a solid choice, but i wanted to try a stack. (i could always stack jack3d with the other intra / daily intakes, but thought a stack might be more appropriate)

if we rule the pre as obsolete, anybody have any feedback on the intra-workouts?

[FADEtoDARKNESS]

PRE

CAFFEINE , 1,3 dimethblahblah, beta alanine, citrulline malate, aakg, creatine

DURING

BCAA 30G

POST

CREATINE, dextrose, maltodextrine, WHEY/CASEIN OR ANY OTHER PROTEIN powder

[noviss900]

I am an avid jack3d user and tried a white flood sample the other day. It was great, I'm going to buy a tub after my jack3d is gone.

I pretty much do what FADE said minus the BCAA
