thank you very much. if you don't mind I'm gonna be nagging you a little bit 'cause I have similar goals, schedule and ideas about training than you and I'm setting up my own program 'cause my gym is a shit gym - it's the only one I'm willing to attend though since it's two blocks from home.
Lifting strictly only to benefit fight training. I'm around 160 lbs and satisfied with size and weight, lagging in power, everything else is fine but I'm skinny and light, always been.
just tested my RMs saturday using bodybuilding.com calculator. is it reliable? I think I'll straight up copy your training but I'll do some form of pullups too.
gonna do 4 sets of 5 reps of bench, pullups, squat and deadlift. I don't wanna spend too much time in the gym and 5x5 I think will be overkill for me. I'll eventually lift a 3rd time in the week when I feel like on saturday mornings so I guess it evens out. I believe it fits my style better if I do 4x5 with 75%/85%/95%RM.
when I get to work on monday morning I'll take a close look on this thread again to get the info especially about de-load week.
thank you very much!
