Intermediate to Advanced transition?
I started out with SS NLP about two years from now, and my parameters were these:
Sex: male
Age: 21
Height: 1.75 meters
Weight: 80 kg
Squat: 220x3x5
Press: 90x3x5
Bench: 150x3x5
Deadlift: 240x1x5
I had a little of a lifting background because of having played sports all my life, so i managed to learn the lifts on my own by recording me hundreds of times.
About three months later i finished the LP at the following numbers:
Squat: 310x3x5
Press: 145x3x5
Bench: 250x3x5
Deadlift: 370x1x5
After that i started a HLM organization type of training, with the next general structure:
Monday:
Sq PR set + back off sets from 3 to 4/Press 4x5/Chin ups 3x5
Wednesday:
DL PR set + back off sets from 1 to 2/Bench 3x5/SQ 3x5
Friday:
Press PR set+back off sets from 3 to 4/ Squat 4x5/ DL 2x3/5
alternating bench with the press
I'm not a explosive athlete so the power cleans do not carry over to my deadlift at all.
Over time i had to start combining volume and intensity to match the requirements for homeostasis disruption.
My current program is a four day split that looks like this:
Monday:
Press PR set(3,2,1)+ Back off sets/ Bench 5x5/ WCU 2x3+2x5
Tuesday:
Squat PR set(3,2,1)+ Back off sets/ SLDL 3x3
Thursday:
Bench PR set(3,2,1)+ Back off sets/ Press 5x5
Friday:
Deadlift PR set(3,2,1)+ Back off sets/ Squat 5x5
My latest singles PRs are:
Squat 440x1
Press 230x1
Bench 305x1
DL 500x1
Currently i weight 95 kg and am 23 years old, but feeling that i have very little room left for new adjustments on the intermediate programming, so the question is, should i start with the ''late intermediate'' to ''early advanced'' transition with four week blocks or should i try with maybe some suplemental lifts to permit more volume in the lifts, or add another slot of squatting, pressing, etc, while mantaining and ''intermediate'' type organization of training. Maybe i'm wrong and far from advanced programming (i wish i am) but i have no one close to look up to in therms of programming in this stages.
Thanks for your time and sorry about the shitty english.
