The Pub - Belph's Battle with Anorexia

Never mind. Apparently "Inverted Juggernaut" means the rep-set scheme is reversed, rather than the periodization. Inverted Juggernaut sounds like it could be good if you wanted to give block periodization a try.

My opinion: until you well into the intermediate stages, it doesn't matter much what programme you do as long as it has enough work overall, a reasonable amount of intensity, and you bust your ass. Based on that, people should just pick the programme that appeals to them, e.g. has a way of doing sets, reps and progression that they like.

Not that my opinion is worth that much.

Well said. I'm still making progress, albeit slowly, on 5/3/1, so I see no need to change drastically. Also, while there may be better programs, 5/3/1 Full Body fits in nicely with my work schedule, Martial Arts training etc.
 
Neither the Cube or Juggernaut are completely optimal for pure strength gains. Juggernaut is designed to support an athletic programme, and the Cube doesn't have enough frequency on the lifts IMO.

Of the two I'd pick Juggernaut, but it would need to be tweaked (hit the main lifts more frequently, treat Press as an assistance lift etc.)

If you're lifting just to support a sport, they could both provide good results. Depends on your goals.
 
I liked MadCow as well but if you're also considering Cube that's likely a little too aggressive.
 
I am not looking forward to meeting my girlfriends former affairs.
I might have to summon my inner Cartos and get all alpha!

It's been a while since I've said "stupidest thing I've ever seen".

Yeah, of the two I'd probably pick Juggernaut over the Cube.
 
I wanna learn Skuay Thai!!

http://www.fullcontactskydiving.com/about.html
Skuay Tai is a variation of traditional Muay Thai fighting which focuses more on core strength and gravity management to maximize power out of kicks, punches, and knees, as well as control in the clinch. Sky Thai utilizes four points of contact, rather than the traditional eight, focusing on those most likely to incapacitate a fighter in free-fall: temple, neck, sternum, groin.

Skuay Thai is available to those who would like to become more well-rounded FCSers, or simply explore the art as a cross-functional fitness program.

Fuck yeah groin strikes!
 
I've noticed in the powerlifting comp thread I have a similar or identical squat to a few guys who out pull me by 100lbs. Interesting. My Deadlift technique must suck worse than I thought.

A mate of mine at the Gym hasn't been able to Squat or Deadlift regularly because of injuries. But he's Benches 170kg for Reps, which is more than he can Deadlift at the moment.:eek:

Of all the programmes I tried, Juggernaut was the most successful. I think I just did it at the right time, with a good template, and was eating at a caloric surplus while doing hypertrophy training for the first time so I saw good gains.

In fact, I should probably run it again...

It could also be a body proportion issue. Most people at the lower strength levels pull more than they squat but there is a minority where the squat and deadlift are similar or squat might even be higher.

Obviously getting a form check to rule out form issues is a good idea though.

It's actually a spoof campaign by AMP energy drink but same difference really. They've put a lot of work into it.

I enjoyed it, but the high volume gave me a nasty case of elbow tendinitis. I'm not sure if the Inverted Juggernaut would be any kinder on my joints; whether it's 5X10 or 10X5, the volume remains the same.
 
I'd imagine the inverted version would be far easier on, the weights are so light and sets so short that you haven't got the same time under tension that you would normally have. Certainly no grinding of weights, or if you are then you're doing the programme wrong. The entire point of inverted Juggernaut is rep quality and accumulating quality work.
