Training 2007 - Program Selection

I have been giving the program selection some thought, and have decided to go with the second of my two old programs, the one based around CT's block training setup.

This program will be performed 3 days per week, with the other bodyparts set on a maintenance/Max Stimulation style setup.

So the days training will be

Bench Movement
2/3board movement with 3x3 submaximal
Back movement - Max Stim
Quad movement - Max Stim
Hamstring movement - Max Stim

I may add in some calf/bicep work, but that will depend on how I feel. The Tuesday/Thursday off days will include some form of cardio if I feel up to it, otherwise its the diet that will take care of any fat losses.

Technique on bench requires a little work as well, and I want to take the width of the grip out slightly, so I am increasing it by a finger width on each side, or around an inch overall. I typically bench with my pinky on the ring, so I still have a reasonable distance to move out, which will take a reasonable amount of time to work out that wide.

Closer grip allows for more speed off the chest, but moving the width out slowly appears to have allowed me to get this back, so only time will tell.

Each rep will also be done with a short pause, as I need to learn this move in my movements.
