Reverse Pyramid and Conditioning

Fuckarounditus is my middle name.

This is how things go:
- Use a straightforward routine. Make gains.
- Miss a movement or experiment with a new methodology.
- Continue to tweak until the training system that worked is unrecognizable.
- Try multiple routines. None of them feel right. Or worse. Some of them feel slightly right.
- Revert to old system that was working. Count the months I lost to bullshit.

Remember this asshole. What works for you is reverse pyramid and cardio in the form of GPP. You actually really like it. It's insane that you would ever deviate, but here we are.

REMEMBER STAN. RE-MEM-BER.

Reverse Pyramid Training (right outta leangains)
Trap Bar Dead 2x6
Fat grip dumbbell press 3x8
Tri/Bi 2x10

Fat grip inc DB Bench 3x8
Inv row 3x8
Tri/Bi 2x10

Zercher Squat 3x10
Chinup 3x8
Tri/Bi 2x10

Plateau 1:
- Condition: Reps have not moved up for a week in all tiers (it's ok if set 1 and 2 do not)
- Action: Increase sets on all weights


Plateau 2:
- Condition: Reps have not moved up for 2 weeks
- Action: Change movements


Conditioning
20min of waiters walks, cross walks, or suitcase carries
Minor assistance for back, rear delts, and hamstrings

Don't worry about increasing weight often. Worry about getting more and more reps with the same weight until it becomes easy. This is your cardio motherfucker.
