OK firstly thanks for the replies fellas

Lots of good things for me to think about.

Basically my main focus will be on squats benches and to a slightly lesser degree Chins.I want to hit 300 on the squat 225 on bench and maybe strap 50lbs to the waist for chins.I dont have a time frame in mind but those are my goals.

I'll think about what you both have suggeseted and post an idea for a routine asap.I will say there is 2 ideas floating around in my head already.

1- just go with a very similiar version of the TM as described in PP. this will reduce my workout days to 3 per week, this could give me the chance to have fewer carbo days and aid with some fatloss too also I've been carrying an inflamed right shoulder for quite a while now that I hurt doing some stupid ass high rep incline smith benching , squats and benches flare it up from time to time and hitting both lifts in 1 day might help with that, leaving extra days for recovery.

2- stay with the 4 day and adjust the rep ranges maybe working with 3's exclusively as Jeff suggested, also changing the rep ranges for the other assistance lifts too.


Hmm Ill give it some thought and get back to ya!!

AWWW man now Im intermediate I actually have to think about this stuff properly

Thanks so much fellas
