Thread: H (Hybrid) I (Intensity) T (Training) - Angel Style

Heya Archie...going all in with PL! Rock on!

Like the twist Arch. To be honest, I wonder if the r/p sets might be a little much for a PL routine. Doing 5 x 5's, 3 x 3's, and 2 x 2's are already hard on the connective tissue and CNS, but if anyone can do it, it's you!

To really get your lifts up with powerlifting, you really need to focus on speed, hams, hips, lower back, delts, tri's and lats. I'd incorporate more exercises to cater to those bodyparts and really blast them.

Thank you for the encouragement and advice, I'm new to this so I'm gonna start simple and feel my way!!!

Thank you Brother JD, appreciate that!!! I hear ya, but it's really not any different than if I where to encorporate alot of straight sets, this way I can still keep my volume down, or at least thats my goal!!!





On a side note, starting tomorrow, but will be going light for the first week to get used to the new techniques and structure of this routine!!!
Wish me luck!!!

If i can make one suggestion archie how about you only rest pause on 1 exercise per workout and the rest stop 1-2 reps shy of failure.

Hey Arch, you're going to start PLing huh? Nice. You just did a bodybuilding show recently didn't you, or is that still coming up?

Archie you can do anything you put your heart into. I have all the faith in the world in you.
