How many of you guys completed Jeff Nippard's powerbuilding programs? It could be either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd version.
What is your overall experience, is it bs or great programs for somebody prioritizing powerlifting?
I am about to start running Calgary Barbell 16 weeks, but it seems to me that first 4 weeks arent really necessary.
Does anyone have experience with the program?
Can I add accesories of my choice, like lateral raises, some bi and tri work, etc.?
I heared that 8 weeks program is kinda bs so Idk if it is great to do.
Can someone give my advice on how to program the block by myself, or even better - some good online programs that fits my schedule of 4 days a week. I am looking for some block which will give me maximum amount of strenght, I am not peaking or doing anything in terms of competition yet. I want to improve on 3s-5s so I can therefore be better on my 1rms.
I just finished my block which was 4x bench, 2x squat and 2x dead a week. Felt great and strong but personaly think it could be a lot better.
Biggest problem is that I dont know should I, for example, on my main movement that day do a 1 top set and backoffs each week, or is it stupid on week 1 because of the low intensity. And also, what would you preffer for a total volume for squat bench and deadlift a week, how many sets in total? Is my volume staying the same every week or should I drop it because of the intensity?
I am 17 year old, really dedicated to the training in terms of powerlifting and bodybuilding a side. My 1rms are 160 squat, 105 bench and 175 dl. I run one block in the past which I made by myself. I dont know how programming works and I'd like to hear someones advice on really good powerlifting/powerbuilding block/program. I am able to go 4 times a week and can you also give me a source where to run it, excel, google sheets, I know for an app like boostcamp etc.
Also, Id like to improve as much on bench, I did 4x a week and had a great time, 2-3x on squat and 2x max on dead.
Are there any powerlifters or serious weightlifters who had appendicitis? How long does it take to recover fully from it and start training as usual in blocks high intensity, weights etc.?
