    Hey Mark, On your last podcast you had mentioned a guys numbers were pretty low for his height and weight to not be getting off NLP and I was just curious what your thoughts were on a guy who is 6’2 280 lbs approx 30% body fat. I was stalling out at around 230x5 bench 165x5 press 350x5 squat and 410x5 deadlift and after switching over to 4 day split and hearing your podcast comments I’d like to know if you think those numbers are low and if I should still be on the NLP Instead of moving to intermediate. Thanks

    How old are you? And why did I have to ask you that?

    Make sure these are answered correctly, and continue with your NLP.

    I'd add that if you apply the three questions to your training and don't find anything that can be improved, don't bang your head against the wall, especially if the 4 day stuff works where the LP stopped working.

    Can you do the 4 day split, 3 days per week or is it not enough stress? For example

    Monday - bench intensity, press volume
    Wednesday - deadlift intensity, squat volume
    Friday - press intensity, bench volume

    Monday - squat intensity, volume pull
    Wednesday - bench intensity, press volume
    Friday - deadlift intensity, squat volume

    And so on in this order. Is this a good option to make solid progress or is the stress too spread out? Thanks

    I've seen a number of SSCs report running a 4 day split on a 3 day per week schedule like that with clients successfully. I've thought about doing it myself eventually.

    Depends on the loads being moved.

    This seems applicable to almost every question on this forum.
