what training routine have you made progress with?

not what a internett expert think is good or what a friend of you says is the best routine.

what routine have YOU used and made PROGRESS with.

If the routine is self made please give a short summary of the routine.
If it is a well known routine like 5x5 just write what gaines you have made and on how long of a time.

Day 3: Bench Press, CGBP, Back Work

Day 5: Deadlift, Speed Squats, Front Squats, Heavy Abs

Day 7: Overhead Press, 3-Board Press, Shoulder Pre-hab

Week 1
55 x 5 reps
65 x 4 reps x 2 sets
75 x 3 reps x 2 sets
85 x 2 reps x 2 sets

Week 2

75 x 3 reps x 2 sets
85 x 2 reps x 2 sets

I didn't actually know about Prilepin at the time. I just was trying to do fewer reps as the work got heavier - so it was rookie blind luck.

I mentioned that this killed my lower back...I think that was primarily due to the fact that my lower back was getting crushed at work from a lot of constantly heavy lifting 40 hours a week. Sorry for forgetting about this not so trivial detail.

yeah was a reason i stopped working offshore and started working as a training instructor, eventually personal trainer.

my knees and back started to hurt, and at that time i was only 20years old.
so figured that i was propably gonna be retired before i hit 40years old if i didnt made a career change.

never looked back.

I had to lift air conditioning caskets in and out of a hone all day. I was constantly deadlifting 70 to 120 pounds. That type of work will kill you.

[styrkecoach]

thats the worst kinda job.
"low intensity"-extreme volume.

remember i once worked 6 hours in a steel wire factory.
had to bend steel wire's at the size of my wrist all day.

thats grip 4orce for you right there.

couldnt masturbate that evening even if i tryed,
luckely steel wires dont make me all that horny.
