Carl1174's Training Log 'Building a Classic Physique'

[LtL]

I think that quote is Wendler and Carl, Byrd reckons that for each rep' you get on a heavy squat, you're good for an extra 10kg's so 160 is a double easily.

Cheers buddy, I think I am good for a 160kg ATG atm, maybee a tad more

That will be tough, very hard on the Calves and Soleus. I prefer longer intervals but each to their own, it depends on how much time you have and what you are trying to achieve really. The trouble I find with the shorter intervals is keeping the button pressed to increase the speed/incline takes up half the time. If you have a fancy treadmill where you can pre-select a program it's much better.

Repping 150 freaking kilos ass to grass is a major feat buddy! Anything over 100 kgs still feels miles away from me right now.

Well done!

I was thinking of just jumping off and resting completely for the 30 seconds and then jumping back on, kind of like a tabata approach, but I could preset I think with say 60 seconds 'active' rest...

Ye that'll work, just make sure you hold on until your legs are up to speed or you could end up as a youTube 'fail' video

Cograts on the Squat PBR!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!

@RDL - The RDL isn't the stiff leg deadlift. The RDL is a top down deadlift without letting the plates touch the floor. Here Sir Rippetoe of the Iron will show you.

Looks like you and this routine are a marriage made in heaven - great to see you nailing PR's on squat - even singles Below parallel at that weight is a great achievement. Thanks for providing some great inspiration as I head into that routine shortly.
