My lifters mainly use my Progressive Poundage Program (PPP) that I sell online for $20

Nick on here has just purchased it and is making good progress. I have it up on the walls in the gym

Its been around for about 3 years now. There are actually a few others on here who got it years ago

CS Student, Gareth, used it with great success. At only 84kg or so he squatted 210kg, benched 130kg and deadlifted 230kg from memory

Just had a quick look on PTC site and didn't see it.

How do I pay? Paypal is easier (for me) if not, happy to bank transfer.

Cheers.

This is going to be interesting!

I cant start the bench yet as I'm still recovering from the bicep tendonitis but I can get into the squat and deadlift program... actually might wait and do all three together so I can judge the progress equally.

So just to confirm, what I'm planning on doing is doing the 3 lifts weekly and throw a 4th day in there somewhere when I can either do general exercises and cardio or possibly alternating between each lift so each lifts gets a turn on getting done twice a week.

On the 3 lift days, I will do the program as per my PB for the individual lift starting with week 1 (is it 60 seconds between sets?) Then I plan on doing 3 other 'assistance' exercises from the list (or some others).

Does that sound OK?

I'm finding that I can bench three times a week, squat twice a week and deadlift once a week... although I've just dialled back the bench to twice a week as I'm getting some rotator cuff pain

I only train 3 x week as I also play basketball

don't aim too high on the starting numbers either... you might be fine week 1 but by 6 or 7 your going to be in trouble

Read the pre-text mate.

It is suggested that you do a movement per day.

eg

Squat monday

Bench Wednesday

Dead friday

follow each lisetd sets/reps with soem assistance stuff (eg front squat after squats)

You can do all 3 lifts on each training day - not many people do.

Some_CS_Student from these forums did it that way and did well.

Most people do it 1 per day

Thanks.

I did read the pre-text and that is how I understood it ie 1 lift per day. Monday - Chest, Wednesday - Squat, Friday - Deadlift. In addition to that I am planning on doing 3 additional assistance exercises that compliment that lift. So 4 exercises in total for that lift.

So how long in between each set of the PPP for the major lifts?

sorry. when you said "on the 3 lift days" I thought you meant the days you do "the 3 lifts" if you get me.. anyway..

Time between sets is as long as it takes for you to recover enough to complete the next set.

it's not cardio

edit.

Not sure about you but I like to keep squats and deads as far apart as possible.

so I'd suggest squats monday, bench wednesday and deads friday.

but up to you.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
