Westside, Kiwi's and Training OCD!!!! welcome to my world...

Well there are plenty of guys round here who know their onions when it comes to PLing mate. You've definately got something when it comes to strength so with something truely focussed towards that goal I'm sure you would do well

cheers dude.. im just so inconsistent with my goals, they change, and my mind changes on what i want from trainin etc..i'd really love t give it a go sometime.. or even do a small comp like the few that have been goin on recently from here.

but yeh, i think progress a bit better with strength gains so i should really concentrate on this i reckon.

That's where some complete goal orientated structure in your trainnig might help - it will keep you focussed on the target. You'll still have periodisation where slightly vary methodologies are used but together with input from someone prepping for the same thing I'm sure you'd last the distance

hope so mate..
having chekced out the PLers on here, most seem to do some higher rep work after anyway, so that would keep me 'sane' in terms of the BBing aspect of training.

Yeah, essentially you do lower rep but can be fairly high volume wise for your main lifts, but the supplementary work usually has a very different structure to it. I think you'd be suprised how much the PLing can still help physique wise tho.

yeh totally. i think i f i throw in some Oly lifts as well it can seriously help pack on a bit of dense mass which is what id like.
was thinkin with regards to the routine of going for Wendler's 5/3/1, and sticking to the format he lays out. still training submaximal weights, then obviously if i were to do a comp, would just change the perdiodization up to train with weights closer to my max in the weeks running up to it.

only one way to find out mate, and thats to try it for a few months!

ur right mate.
definately wanna give somehtin a try, and i think at this time, im best suited for a strength comp, rather than a BB show.. although i defs wanna give a BB show a go some day.

no reason why you cant do both over a couple of years mate,  all training makes you bigger, all training makes you stronger.  the amount of volume/reps and percentage of max just tips the balance one way or the other a bit

yep, ur right mate. im just thinkin with bein at uni, gettin stronger is a bit easier at the mo, than gettin bigger, financially :-) haha..
but yeh, doing them both is somethin that i  have planned.

Where you gone dude

dude for once commit to a freaking training program and finish it till the end !!!

well, it warms my heart to know that ive been missed :-)

my laptop contracted a virus, pretty hefty, cost me £125 for the pleasure of fixin it, yet they managed to lose all my data so it has been back in for a 'data recovery', from which they have found 'most' of my data. sh1tty time tho as i have needed my laptop fopr my dissertation, so have managed to get an extension.

anyway, trainig is goin well still
have recorded all of my sessions in my notebook but cant be arsed to put them all on here. will be abck in gym tomorro. had monday and today off.
still training the same split as i was prior to my absense, just some higher reps on some exercises, and using the 5/3/1 system on the major lifts. still also training submaximal weights, around 10kg off max weight for each rep range.
