  2. Have you planned each cycle with specific sets, reps, and percentages?

    I'm using a very basic template incorporating power, strength and assistance work followed with conditioning. The beginning of the month will be slightly higher volume and lower intensity, moving towards higher intensity/ lower volume, ending the month with a deload week. Basic stuff. I'm not getting too involved with percentages because that varies considerably between individuals, eliminates the need to think for yourself, and negates training by the way your body might feel on any given day. 90% of max just might not be in the cards on a particular day, but some people force it when they probably shouldn't.

    You should have a shirt with your picture on it. I saw one picture of you wearing a skull cap flexing.on The back justput the strength shop building beasts.Or have someone draw a picture of a beast doing like a deadlift with toms of heavy weight bar bending .The beast face growling with animal saliva coming down.lol

  11. I think you shoud have 3 silhouettes or beasts on the front that show the 1st character at the end of a split jerk or at the bottom of a snatch and the 2nd one doing a heavy deadlift and the 3rd with a sandbag shouldered and a KB overhead at the bottom of a squat.

  12. I like that Idea then in the back have the strength shop unleash the beast within

  13. awesome idea

    my original idea was similar but different, I wanted to incorporate many different modalities of training and different tools. So I was going to have something like a giant octopus with a King Neptune type head and all eight arms would have a different tool, a kb, a db, sandbag, a fat barbell, maybe swinging another human around...
