I’ve been doing WS4SB for a year now and just ordered this book. How you liking it? I think we may be close strength wise. Im 6’1 185-190ish right now. 1RM Box Squat: 265, Deadlift 405, Bench 225 … really trying to get up to a 1000 total.
How are you liking it so far? I noticed you were also doing WS4SB before… this program definitely seems like less volume than WS4SB. I’m interested in trying something new though.[/quote]
The max strength program is awesome. I enjoyed WS4SB too, but I seem to get more out of the structure of Cressey’s program. My biggest problem for WS4SB is that I was not getting anything out of the RE days. I found that I would improve my 20-30 rep max quickly and drastically, but it never carried over into a better max effort lift.
The other thing I like about max strength is that it focuses so much on correcting imbalances and forced me to learn some new exercises. I can’t wait to get back on the program.
4 weeks more weeks of lifting geared towards improving my ability on the court, then I can go back to working on getting stronger.
