I'm thinking about taking a break from strong lifts and trying out a 3-day split for a little while. Just to mix it up. Not sure if heavy strength training is really for me.



No doubt..

Heavy lifting isn’t for everybody, either you can or you can’t..

Do hypertrophy work first.. Build a foundation than start a strength block.

I’d recommend Wendlers, Texas method would murder you.

Hypertrophy first? I was only doing SL because everyone said to do a strength routine first to build a foundation.


Who knew getting swole was so confusing.

I guess it depends on what you’re going for. CWS argues that a hypertrophy block will maximize a strength block by giving you a stronger base. Compare two athletes with comparable body fat. The one who weighs more will obviously be stronger. Hypertrophy encourages muscle growth by bringing the fibers close to failure. The bigger the base, the bigger the peak.
