Right so I have a long summer of training ahead of me. I'm mainly training for sporting reasons (rugby) with my number one goal being to become far more powerful.
However, I do also want to bulk up. At the moment I'm 183cm (6ft) and around 168-170lbs. My body fat % is probably around 9%. I'm looking for 180lbs, 40kg added to my squat (I am pretty confident I can achieve this. Recently take to ATG squats) 15kg to my 1rm bench and a good number to my deadlift.
As I know this programme has seen great results in the past, specifically in the strength area I am confident in trying it out (I have been doing it for the past 2 weeks). However, I know a few of you guys have used it before / can give me a better indication of how much mass I can put on using it as oppose to sticking with a more traditional body building template.
The one thing I am slightly anxious of is only one day with a barbell on my back. The second leg day is 'dynamic' and therefore squatting isn't part of it.
So I'm looking for some opinions on whether it's worth a shot as it is, or whether I should put another leg day (deadlift orientated) into it instead of the dynamic for a few weeks. Or maybe you have better suggestions completelely?
I just don't want to waste this prime opportunity. So looking for advice ;P
- the template. I'm alternating some of the exercises / rep ranges from time to time.
