Thanks big guy!

Nothing wrong with making sure. But I KNOW you know how to apply the principles of P/RR/S! :thumb:

Im an ecto and im about to start the whole Power/Rep Range/Shock for the first time right away here. Just wondering if theres much difference in going P/RR/P/RR/S/P/RR/P/RR/S etc....Oh is it because you shouldnt go longer than 3 weeks without a shock or what? (btw why two powers in the beginning?)...

thx gp

How long have you been training and what is your main goal?

ive been seriously training for about 2.5 years now. My main goal is size with strength as a very close second ;)
 
Great routine, makes perfect sense, Ive been working out consistently for a month or two now and have been looking for a routine that made sense. Well this one does and hopefully I can achieve my goal of 210+ in 30-36 months (currently 5-8, 157lbs, 20y/o)
Thanks to gopro I dont anticipate going pro but hopefully in the 3 years I can gocollegiate and play some football.

If I want to incorporate running when is the best time to throw that in there?
 
This is my slight tweak and split, how does this look and also I was wondering how much of a difference it makes changing your split or not, or if I had a schedule conflict and worked out day 7 and took day 1 off. Also what are pullovers???

Then for you I would recommend this pattern...

RR/P/RR/P/S/RR/P/RR/P/S...1 week off from gym, or just light training, then repeat cycle.

For drug-free trainees, I don't feel most should train more than 2 straight days without one day off. You have 5 straight days scheduled. I'd rather see it as 3 on, 1 off, 2 on, 1 off, if you insisted on training five days per week.

Pullovers is when you lay across a bench, hold a dumbell with two hands, and stretch it back behind your head with the arms slightly bent. You should be able to find pics of it on the web to give you the right idea.

Riss, goodluck bro!!!!!!! :rocker: :rocker:
 
Hey Gopro
First of all, thank YOU for p/s/rr!

One question though,I've been using your schedule for quite a while now and I feel that I need to shake things up a little. Any suggestions about how to schedule the upcoming 9 weeks?
I thought of maybe prioritize power but you´re the expert...

What are your goals bud?

If you are looking to prioritize power week you could do something like p/p/rr/s or p/rr/p/s. Something along those lines. I've even seen some people go p/p/rr/p/p/s.
 
Any news on riss guys?!?!?!

The fact is that I used to weigh 200lbs with bf around 5%. But now I weigh 185 with bf 5,5% and I want to regain those lost pounds and to do that I thought of shaking things up a little.

Got any better suggestions?

Okay,maybe I exaggerated a bit so lets say I've lost 8-10lbs.
How I lost it, well, love had something to do with it ;) Didn't prioritize going to the gym...simple as that.

I would prioritize RR actually. Perhaps something like RR/P/RR/S or P/RR/RR/S. I think that RR is tops for hypertrophy.
 
gopro, What do you mean by the rest interval for the Shock week? What is cardiovascular recovery?

Ever done a shock....or attempted it? It really whoops your ass and gets you breathing pretty heavy. Cardiovascular recovery is in simple terms catching your breath.
 
no, i have never done it, can you please explain to me how it is done? I read the article and I'm still confused.
