@acer621 Yes! This is so true! Also, I see so many people jiggling around all over the place between reps during a set. No, no, no. You don't want to lose any tension through the whole set. Everything tight and keep it that way from unrack to rerack. Don't be jiggling your feet around between...

@blessed53 Amazing! My husband has AS. I've tried getting him into lifting weights because I've read a few others with this condition saying it helped them a lot. But lifting just isn't his thing. He manages his symptoms very well with a No Starch Diet and also Low Dose Naltrexone (has done...

@ifyoubelieveme May I also recommend The Studio by Jamie Kinkeade The Studio

@camo320 Cool! I think you'll like GZCL. You'd be past needing the linear program (GZCLP) - that's what I originally started with. These days I typically run the vanilla 4 week program on repeat but I've done the Rippler on 3 occasions and loved that too.

@camo320 So you just did the workouts in order? Even if it sort of spread into the next week? That's not a bad idea actually! I could make that work. I'm so rigid usually with my gym days (I'm a creature of habit lol) - Mon squat, Tue bench, Thu deadlift, Fri OHP. Could be good to have a change up.

@camo320 Thanks for this write up! You made great progress. I usually stick with GZCL programs but I've been considering this one for a while. Only thing for me is I prefer 4 days a week so wasn't sure I'd be able to do the 5 day part of the program properly. I think I'll give this a go when I...

@doctinsley She's describing what you're doing ie you are doing conventional deadlifts for multiple repetitions

@camo320 Ah OK. I like that approach 👍 From reading Johnnie's instructions for the program I thought they had to stay the same throughout the program and only the 2 additional optional isolation exercises could be changed week to week or whenever. I'd get so bored doing it that way!

@camo320 One other question. Did you find it boring doing the exact same exercises on all the upper body days? On the spreadsheet I have for the Candito program, for all upper body days it's bench, dumbell row, military press and lat pulldown on every single upper body workout. Even if there are...

@brokenjohninchrist Mostly looking pretty good! Yes you are definitely taking too long between reps. A few seconds to reset and then pull again. You don't have to rush like crazy but it should be: put the weight down, get tight again and pull. Otherwise you're just doing a bunch of singles...

@mjh0607 I used to put a 20kg plate in front of my feet to stop the slipping 👍
