Going to write out my intermediate goals. Bench Press: 105kg (231 lbs) for 5 reps Deadlift: 165kg (363 lbs) for 5 reps Leg Press: 260kg for 5...

Writing out tomorrow's workout now. NLP Leg Press: 210kg (260kg including sled weight), 3 sets of 5 TMV Bench: 87.5Kg, 5 sets of 5 PBM OHP:...

Nice one.

Todays workout Week 1 NLP Leg Press: 205kg (255kg including sled weight), 3 sets of 5 TMI OHP: 60Kg, 5 reps PBM Bench: 95kg, 8, 4, 4 reps NLP...

You should be alternating press, and bench press each workout. You've listed press but not bench press in your workouts.

Dumbell Lunges: 2x25kg, 2 sets of 30 PBM Bench press: 85kg, 13, 7, 7 Lt OHP: 40kg, 5 Lt 60° Bench: 45kg, 2 sets of 5 NLP Deadlift: 115kg, 2 sets...

That's the fun bit. :)

Yeah, 395 is no joke, basically anything over 1.5 times body weight just feels bloody heavy.

I thought you said at the start of this thread you were likely to be going backwards, but instead you're setting PRs like a wild beast. Bloody...

Todays workout Week 1 NLP Leg Press: 200kg (250kg including sled weight), 3 sets of 5 TM OHP: 54Kg, 5 sets of 5 PBM Bench: 75kg, 17, 9, 9,...

I wonder if it's a 200m track not 1/9th of a mile. That could certainly explain why it took you an extra minute if you did 9 laps. Generally a...

I have a new idea, instead of doing reduced volume Texas method for bench/ohp in the “off” week, I am going to run 70% of 3 rep max Monday, 80% of 3...

Looking good.

Hahahaha A spiral notebook is probably something I should do, but knowing my luck, I would bloody lose it. I might actually do it anyway as well...

Thanks for the explanation. Even though Wendler calls for ascending sets, what if you did 395 x AMRAP (as your first workset), then 365 or 355 for 2...

I'm trying to understand your program a bit. I notice you have been getting PRs at random (or seemingly unprogrammed) rep ranges. 1) Is this...

Going to write out Monday's program in advance so I'm not guessing what I am meant to be doing. NLP Leg Press: 200kg (250kg including sled...

After so many years of lifting, and still hitting bench PRs quite regularly is bloody awesome.

Thanks. :)

Nice start. I will follow your progress.

Moving over to intermediate thread.

Ok achieved my novice goal for bench press, starting intermediate training, Monday next week. Bench press will be Texas Method. OHP will be Texas...

Yeah. I had already achieved that weight for 5 reps but couldn't successfully get 3 sets all for 5 and was in a bloody rut I couldn't get out of for...

Week 33 Today's workout Leg press: 429 lbs (195kg), 3 sets of 5 (deloaded) Bench Press: 220 lbs (100kg), 3 sets of 5 (PR) Seated Rows: 200lbs, 3...

Week 33 Today's workout Lunges: 110 lbs, 2 sets of 30 Leg press: 418 lbs (190kg), 3 sets of 5 (deloaded) Bench Press: 214.5 lbs (97.5kg), 5, 5,...

Good one. I'll check it out.

Make sure you start your intermediate training with a good deload (at least 10% reduction). At the end of NLP you've really pushed yourself to the...

That's a great sign. Squats can be a killer with DOMS.

Probably should add, even though bench press is still deloaded at 209 lbs, 7 sets of 5 is a lot of bloody sets at that weight for me, it could be...

It might be worth looking at intermediate programs. You're really close to getting all you're going to get from NLP.
