New program

I just got done with a strength phase, and start hardcore dieting tommorow, no cheats no nuttin. I want some kind of balance oriented, make you sweat, make you puke, make you a super athlete type of thing. I was thinking meltdown, but that isnt where I want to go, to bodybuildishy, I need something that is Olymipic/renegade/core oriented, nothing but coupmpound movements??? any suggestions?
PS I play hockey (goalie) and soccer, so those are the sports I need focus for, unfortunetly I am a poor bastard and cant afford any of Coach D’s stuff.

I really like Chad Waterbury’s Next Big Three program- I’ve gotten great results so far, and I’m only in week 2- I’ll post a before and after when I’m done…

Here’s something you could try. I’ve been utilizing it and it’s been working great for me.

Monday and Friday:
The Bear 1x5
Deadlift 1x5
Barbell Row 1x5
Stiff legged Deadlift 1x5
Bench press 1x5
Dips 1x5
Dumbell curls 1x5
Dumbell tricep extensions 1x5

Wed and Saturday
Squat 1x5
push press 1x5
sumo deadlift 1x5
cleans 1x5
pull ups 1x5
incline bench press 1x5
hammer curls 1x5
close grip bench press 1x5

I do the exercises in a circuit with 60 seconds rest in between. The first 4 exercises can all be done in the squat rack which makes things easy. I use the maximum amount of weight I can safely handle. Calves and abs you can do as you see fit. I am currently doing one circuit and will be working up to 3 over the next few weeks. This workout will kick your ass and make you gasp for breath much like Alessi’s Meltdown does. All I can say is so far my strength has been going up and I don’t get that drained feeling that Meltdown gives me. I’ve noticed quite a bit of fatloss over the last 2 weeks, so maybe this will work for you.

Have a look at my Bulgarian/EDT hybrid thread on Lair of the Ice Dog.

check out renegade bodybuilding. it’s dope, and if you do it to it you could become a puking, super athlete type.

Have you looked at Meltdown II?
