Modifying PL program for general strength

[John Hanley]

Those things are so beautiful. I wish I had known about them sooner.

Yeah. I'd own way fewer wrenches had I bought those fuckers like 10 years ago.

Sometimes you just pet and play with them, don't you?

Dammit, I just placed an Amazon order and forgot to toss these in my cart.

Did Rippetoe dispute anything from the "old" article? If not, what does it matter how old it is?

Ideally you want the most T levels for any program, and more volume + faster results, which you are seemingly after, will require higher levels, as well as to fulfill most hyperthropy fantasies.

Btw, can you quote Rippetoe on that? I'm interested to see the context. Myself I'm 28, and test in cca 560 last measured. What is he recommending then? Stop lifting, pinning?

Anyway, I'm sure he doesn't discuss this for the reasons that "program sucks", "not enough DL volume", which was the topic we were on.



In PTW you have DL twice per week for the above reason that its important, and because its only SQ/B/DL optimized program, so no, I don't think his position is that SS contains enough DL volume for novice powerlifter, but I can't confirm this myself.

What do you think I do between sets? And in the middle of the night?

You can always place another order. Do it.

And metric time.

Just listen to this folksy British accent and try not to order them:

Moriel,

Yes, I have personally criticized the SS Novice program for having too little upperbody volume for almost all populations and possibly too little deadlift volume for many populations.

Not everyone agrees with me on that, though.

So Cody could get to 250kg Squat, almost 100kg BW with visible abs, and he did it with two digit testosterone number.

Great. Then I have numerous more severe issues than T levels, having a beer gut below 75kg, and 120kg squat.

What's the secret? Should I shoot infra-red light on my balls?

If you have an exceedingly weak grip, don't worry. With the 10-to-1 lever ratio of the Knipex pliers wrench, grip strength won't hold you back.
