![]() You have 3 tiers of movements, tier 1 are your competition lifts (bench squat dead), tier 2 are variants of it (close grip bench, front squat, deficit deadlift for example, there are way more) and tier 3 are accessories (curls, abs, triceps etc.) For the tier 1 you do low reps at high weight, with the last set being amrap. If you have trouble with the lockout on bench, you can add extra tricep work for example.Īnother program, or method, is the gzcl lp. ![]() The accessories are useful to deal with your weaknesses. If you can do like 4 reps, you are obviously capable of more, so you increase the weight more than when you can only do 1 rep. If you can't do enough reps, you don't increase. Personally I like the progression based on the amrap sets. It helped me decide to jump into a rigorous program and stick to it. Thanks to: r/fitness individuals who upload these types of write-ups. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would like to follow a new fitness program, but I have no idea which would complement the foundation I now have. I believe that I could have gained more mass had I eaten more, but I have plenty of time to do that before grad school begins. Overall, I would recommend the Blueprint to any male or female who is getting back into fitness or would like to push themselves to finish a program because 8 weeks is not a huge commitment. You learn to look forward to each session after a couple weeks. If you are not used to lifting 6 days each week, it will be a shock to your muscles. Snacks: Chips and cottage cheese-salsa whenever is convenient. Supplements used: Six-star chocolate protein powder |Athletic Experience| High School football and basketball and one year football in college |ĭiet: I really just tried to eat as much protein as possible by incorporating ~50 extra grams from shakes and ~50 extra grams from greek yogurt with breakfast and lunch.Ĭommon/favorite meals: I eat chicken at least 3 dinners each week, and I love to add lowfat cottage cheese to my salsa (I know it's odd). I have enjoyed this program, but I am looking for another at the moment for the next couple months. The Blueprint is not perfect, but I believe it is effective at what it does-varying weight and repetitions to stimulate muscle growth. I typically exercise to destress, however, I will be starting graduate school in around 8 months, so I decided to really get into shape before my time is pressed.
