Switching to Zulu? Geez JMadd quit copying me .J-Madd wrote:BP: 225/5x5
DL: 315/5x3
BOO x 5 (70lbs KB)
My little strength/mass experiment is over, so I'm back to more standard programming. I'm actually going to play with Zulu for a while. This semester my schedule is such that I need to finish my workouts fairly quickly and earlier in the day. If can lift and condition back-to-back at least one day each week that will be helpful too. Some days I'll need to do a quick lifting session in the morning, and then roll later in the day. Normally, I probably wouldn't do five rounds of BOO right after DLing, but my next workout isn't until tomorrow night (BJJ), so I had an extra 1/2 day for recovery and and some time to burn today.
+1! I would be very interested on some feedback and reasoning behind that.Green2Blue wrote:Switching to Zulu? Geez JMadd quit copying me .J-Madd wrote:BP: 225/5x5

Can we get a brief rundown of the strength/mass experiment and the results?
The switch to Zulu is really just because I want some quicker strength workouts that I can also couple with a conditioning session 1-2 days each week. That's all to accommodate my teaching schedule (and my wife's teaching schedule) this semester and BJJ.Barkadion wrote:+1!

But, JMAD - sorry if I enter private space here, though. I do respect your training thinking and I would be interested to read about that...

The strength/mass emphasis had mixed results. I was doing relatively high intensity followed by some pretty serious down sets for volume three days each week. That is a lot work! I was clearly getting bigger and stronger. No doubt. I was also getting pretty beat up. I cut way back on conditioning, but with BJJ I couldn't handle the high volume/high intensity work that I was doing. Three weeks in I was feeling pretty crappy, and I realized it just wasn't sustainable. A younger guy might get away with it, or maybe even someone my age who is happy to put everything else on hold but pumping iron on hold for six weeks. That's not the generally balanced, multidimensional approach I want. There are also a lot of other programs out there for folks who want that sort of thing. I might keep it in my consulting quiver, but I don't recommend it generally. If you want to emphasize a little extra muscle, the the volume in OP/Zulu I/A, or dig up the old Mass template.
