Scott,
I thought you may be interested to know about a 34 y/o male who has adopted the bare bones of your program. Yes, I am that 34 y/o guy.
Some context...
I work as a cop in a major metropolitan area, have a 3 year old and a baby on the way. I have several other factors including a work schedule that changes every 4 weeks and possible Chronic Fatigue Syndrome diagnosis which seem to inhibit my recovery especially when it relates to volume. Life stress baseline is very high. I average about 8 hours sleep a night and 180grams protein per day. I'm 5'9 and weigh 235. Right now I'm trying to keep a sort of linear progression going on your program after having gone back on vanilla SS NLP for a few weeks recently with the following:
'A' day = Bench 3x5, Squat 3x5
'B' day = Press 3x5, Deadlift 1x5
My current schedule and program
M OFF A day, Tabata Conditioning (45/15) on C2 Rower- 10 min (350watts+ on the 15 sec)
T Work
W Work Light B day(80% of last session)
Th Work Chins; 3 x AMRAP with 3 min rest, C2 Rower- 10 min
F Work
Sa OFF A day, Barbell Rows 3 x 8
Su OFF BJJ 60 to 90 min
M OFF B day, C2 Rower- 10 min
T Work
W Work Light A day(80% of last session)
Th Work Chins; 3 x AMRAP with 3 min rest, C2 Rower- 10 min
F Work
Sa OFF B day, Barbell Rows 3 x 8
Su OFF BJJ 60 to 90 min
I've had some moderate success with this over the past 3 weeks and hit 3x5 PRs on Squat(375) and Bench press(225) and a 1x5 PR on deadlift(405). Press is lagging behind but I should tie a PR soon. I plan to stay on this program as long as possible as it works well with my schedule when it changes and I have fewer days off between work weeks.
Thank you for the program!
