@learnandbloom How far are you from the 32s? I’m going to be starting with them late august. It would be fun to do a group run with them, the competition helps push.

@hunter101 1.05 is Easy Muscle Schedule A Phase Two, but it’s pretty easy to figure out looking at 1.1 to 1.2 like you said.

@lbeebe48 That’s how Giant Beta X is built, ladders with different rep schemes weekly.

@kla2 Here is my 36kg next to comp bells. They are definitely the closest in size

@mightyrose Running 2.0 in between 1.0 and 1.1 really helps. But it’s also one of those weird things where you do the 8s and suddenly the 6s don’t seem that bad.

@anojinzouningen I’ve been running Giant for about 1.5 years. First year I only did cardio on the off days, but I’ve started squatting on off days now. I will say, cardio had a pretty positive impact on Giant and squats have a neutral at best (negative if you include it displacing cardio)...

@mightyrose Strong stuff homie! You planning on running Giant through 1.2?

@juancarlos Medium has the Sleepless in Seattle standards as an article. https://medium.com/@danjohn84123/strength-standards-8f7e58cb69c4

@dawn16 What is 3x3? I assumed it was each movement three times separately but reading other write ups it seems to just be a weird way to word sets of three.

@danbranson I ran the three day version of Pete Plan with Giant and it was a pretty great combo. I’m sure it would work equally well with DFW. Six days on one day off, just alternating between Pete Plan and Giant.

@geekfreak I did squats on off days with no detriment

@shrie I would go with Giant, but with the caveat of running the full 16 week Giant series. 1.1 and 1.2 are where the magic really happens, 1.0 and 2.0 build your work capacity to make the foundation for that magic.

@lily_pad_96 Most barbell complexes I’ve done go squat first because they use the press to transition from front squat to back squat. Like in the bear Clean Front Squat Push Press Back Squat Push Press Javorek does that a decent amount with his complexes as well.

@davis_steff I would do 2.0 before 1.1 and 1.2, the rep volume on the ladders is better as a stepping stone than capstone.

@youngman4god You can run DFW with just C&P

@rabbie77 Seems like a no true Scotsman sort of stance. If there’s value for it in competition, surely there’s value for it in wellness/fitness. There isn’t that big of a dichotomy between the two, especially given most GS practitioners are hobbyists.

@inspiringmedia Great job homie. I would try and finish 1.2 if you could, it’s the payoff for the program

@josephhayes Nice man! It’s impressive you hit more reps with a higher weight, I dropped reps every weight jump.

@rabbie77 So ranking tables and competition are silly? They’re purely designed to compare against others.
