I know of the other 3 day splits outlined by DT and over at elitefts but I have decided to try this variation.

Circuit idea is a combination of Big Martins gpp circuits and CW’s ideas…I will probably try to add weight on the strenght, decrease time on endurance and add reps to the hyper and then go the other way…

And of course a lot of this will probably change as I go along.

it looks a lot like the program i use for my wrestlers i work with…i think you will do fine with this program…but after about 4-6 weeks you will need ot make some changes…bm

Thanks bm!

Yeah I plan on changing assistance work every 3 weeks or so and monitor ME work until I begin changing every week…
