@hallartistry I want to get down to at least 10% body fat and then do my first ever bulk. I also want to reach a 315 deadlift. I think those are my only realistic goals at the moment.

@zambieboy I highly recommend getting the book 80/20 running. Basically you want 20% of your running to be hard running and the remaining 80% to be zone 2 running. An easy rule of thumb I like to follow is this; if you can't comfortably recite the pledge of allegiance while zone 2 running then...

@dawn16 I don't like adding too many sets either due to time limitations. Check out Renaissance Periodization's video on myo rep match sets, that's what I've been doing. I'm doing full body 3x a week and if it's time to add a 4th set on an exercise I instead turn the 3rd set into a myo rep match...

@maygrace According to his site Jeff considers PPL to be for intermediate to advanced lifters. When you're stronger the stimulus to fatigue ratio for squats goes up so that could explain why he programmed so few. In my opinion you could increase your squats and replace the hack squats in leg day...

@sandy33 Listening to countless videos of Renaissance Periodization is not enough knowledge to design my own program?

@sandy33 I'm basically a beginner.

I created a workout routine for myself. It's a full body workout Monday-Wednesday-Friday alternating between A and B workouts. 4 week mesocycle. For deadlifts, squats, and reverse hyper I'm doing straight sets and following linear progression, adding 5 lbs when I'm confident in my form. For...
