Too Intense Leader?

[Manze]

Hey Jim. I’ve just completed the program I have been doing for the last 12 weeks, with GREAT progress in all of my lifts. Thanks for the help doing the programming of the leader & anchor! Now I’ll have to show the progress at the platform in a week.

Programming Leader and Anchor Without Getting Hurt

Hey Jim, and everyone else reading! First of all I’d like to thank for all the time investing in helping me last time! It was great and I appreciate it! I listened to all the information you gave me and started to try it out. Here are some things I experienced: 1: BBS with FSL percentages is too tough on my low back. 2: I’ve had shoulder surgery in the past. I dont have any shoulder pain or issues at the moment (at least it’s minimal) but I can sense with the Bench Press BBS will catch up wi…

Now I’d like to ask you, if my future programming could be done, with something like this:

Lift 4 times/week
Conditioning 4 times/week - easy conditioning
Jumps done prior to main lifts - 10 doing leader, 20 doing anchor

Leader 2 cycles:
Main Lift - 5x531 (5x5 @ top weight)
Supplemental - none
Assistance - 25-50 each category

Anchor 1 cycle:
Main Lift - 3/5/1 - PR set at TM on week 1 & 3
Supplemental - 3x5 FSL
Assistance - 50-100 each category

Would the leader be too intense?

Your TM MUST BE EXACT. So if you fuck this up, it’ll ruin you. But the book will explain on what to do. This forum is the wrong place to explain broad concepts.

All right Jim, I respect that! My thought was to use TM=80%
I’ll have to wait then. Until then I have the oppritunity to try some of your other programs!
Thanks for the reply!
