My biggest problem with it is the lack of a dedicated intensity day. This is an overly complex scheme for no good reason, given your stated goals. If you don't think I should go with this program, what should I use to get to my targets of a 200kg Squat and Deadlift? Will doing ABS isolation effect my main lifts?ĭo I have too much volume in the assistance work to a point that it will effect my performance on the main lifts? I generally recover pretty fast. However, in the PDF Jonnie Candito does not mention ABS exercises or have them listed in the selection of optional exercises. This is because I feel these are the weak points on my Deadlift and I hope that strengthening them through some isolation will help me bring my max up on the Deadlift and Squat. What would you guys recommend and change with what I have here? You will notice that I have put in abs and hamstring isolation. If I follow this program to a T and stick to it, do you guys think it will take me to my goals? My main goal is to hit that 200kg Squat and Deadlift. The paused Squats and Deadlifts will definitely contribute to maintaining good form and progressing the weight once a week by 2.5-5kg as I see fit sounds good to me. I was looking into Stronglifts 5x5 and Starting Strength, however believe that I am past the point where I can ass linear progression multiple times a week and feel that I would platau quickly if I went with one of these programs.Īfter doing some research this morning I came across Jonnie Candito's Linear progression and I quite like the look of it. My current max's are currently 165kg Squat, 160kg Deadlift and 100kg bench. My goals are to hit a 200kg Squat and Deadlift by the end of the year and a 120kg bench.

I have been training for hypertrophy for the last few months but I want to go back to strength training and eventually compete in some power lifting. I spent most of last year training for strength on Jim Wednler's 5/3/1 and my Squat/Deadlift and Bench did see some nice increases, however I felt the program lacked volume.
