You should sort your 1RM's now you got Squats and Deadlifts sorted and then join the Wendler Wagon

Does wendler alloy for any hypertrophy? I figured it was all strength based?

I'll be honest, even while doing my hypertrophy routines I'm gaining strength, so it's not too bad.

Not really it is very much a slowly but surely strength builder. Although I do have a feeling there may be a setup for the assistance work such as BBB which may allow for some growth but don't quote me as it's been a while since I've read it.

Well the BBB ranges are 5x10, so I guess that might be within your hypertrophy range? Although if you're happy with your current routine, then probably stick to that.

Sorry to hijack LiE!

Oh I'm not changing, I'd just rather get the information in my head for when I do change a few months down the line once I begin to bulk up again...Seeing as I've got an inch of fat on my tum tum, it won't be any time soon

Managed 122.5 x 8 for my bench press + set tonight, not a bad performance. The BBB was a bit light though, think I'll look at increasing the weight a bit next week. I didn't do Kroc rows, instead opting for seated cable rows and some wide grip pull ups.

Your BBB set was far too easy

But I'm not sure how it should be fitting in with regards to your program.

Ta for the spot tonight, I'd have ended up with a BB over my neck otherwise probably

No problem

Yea BBB was pretty easy, the program allows you to set between 50 and 60% for the BBB sets, I'm set at 50% right now until I adapt.

Nothing is confusing as the spreadsheet calculates it all

I'm special mate, you'd know that if you met me....

I tried to keep a 20kg plate on one side of the BB last night and remove the other one

I wanted two tens on...lol

Thanks for saving me........

Sorry I missed your post in my log.

I would have suggested just focusing on it more, and perhaps concentrate on spreading the floor. Nice squats today!
