I’m not trying to sound like I’m all that and I know everything about lifting, I look to this site because you older guys have been there and done that, I’m still young and am trying to get a step ahead. Thanks for the replies[/quote]
I would highly highly recommend you google sheiko #29, find an english version, and do that man, it’s a perfect program for a young lifter and will give great great gains. Don’t get distracted with assistance work, focus on the main lifts to start, then add in assistance work a couple years down the road.
Check out the thread 2000 raw total @242 @ 22 years old…
That guy got his start donig sheiko programs, and built his base now’s he’s squatting 700, benching 500, and pulling 800… trust me man, just do it.
