What do you guys think about Candito's program ? I have been subscribed to his channel for quite sometime now and i personally find him very likeable and his videos pretty informative . I was thinking of giving his program a go in january or february (doing a very similar program to the stronglifts 5x5 right now) . I'd like opinions , if you have the time to read his routines .

This is his site , you can find the program there .

He's an excellent athlete, but he disses the RTS for his own schedule.
The reason he does that is because Candito is exceptionally gifted with his frame, considering his small posture. Usually his build dies of hernias when doing his schedules.


I'd advice you to take a look at Mike Tuchscherer's RTS. Or the Boris sheiko protocol that fits your class.

Fucked up today, meant to rack 92.5 kgs and racked 102.5, managed two reps before i couldn't go back down and realised what was up. fucked the rest of my squat session.

 

[Zacheryah]

Well, better that then beeing stuck going up i suppose :tongue:

I'm going for a Bench PR tomorrow. Sadly my medial right delt is a bit fucked. Hopefully won't affect my lift too much tomorrow.

Have your spotter strongly unrack the weight untill its at the sweet spot, and gently let go.

I'll be warming up very gently and if I feel the slightest I'll postpone my PR to next week (that xmas pr!) and instead just get dat friday push workout-pump.

I almost got stuck going up on the second!

The thought was "unrack - this feels heavier than I was expecting, but I am really tired,...oh god how am I going to get back up, put it back on the rack"

 

[Zacheryah]

Good plan.

Glad i've done my pr 12 days ago. Damn tendons hurting. Now only one hurts when doing skullcrushers. Luckely i'm only have to do those for stretching

 

[Maddy]

what you pressin @Maddy

Depending on how I feel 115-120 kg.

I had the exact opposite today. Was using the blue plates instead of reds, and miscalculated halfway. Was like "damn this is light". Then noticed i was 20kg lower.



Oh well, at least its better then having some brah taking of a plate at a side without you noticing or checking

 

[Maddy]

not bad

Nope I'm quite satisfied. Been a long grind from 100 - 115 kg.

Just need to get my left groin sorted out and I'll be jumping into a semi serious powerlifting programme.

P/P/l is fun and I love the routine and results. But aesthetics isn't my primary goal nor motivator.

People take plates off your bars? Fuck is up with that?

Doesnt happen often. And nobody tends to make the mistake twice.


In my new gym, it only happened twice this year.

First time, someone took a 25kg plate of a 220kg loaded squat bar. On the opposite side was someone doing seated calf presses. If my spotter didnt see that and i had unracked with power (wich you should on that weight. i would have fell over, and the guy would have gotten 100kg of plates on his body+the bar+myself.

Guy who did it was new. Didnt see there was a towel, belt and two wristwraps on the bar and took the weight. It took him 30 minutes to confess it to someone cause apparently he was scared.




Second time it happened, was a newer guy. Visually disliked me for a reason i dont know. Had it before the "body and fit dudebro's" dislike a powerlifter. This one had been giving ugly looks for a while and i ignored it. (spoiled 16y/o wanna be fancyboy i tought). Then when i got a new plate, he took one of my bench.

I had him leave the gym. He didnt came back since.

They start by having strength and powerlifting as their prime motivator? Doesn't sound liek a typical Bro Sciences video.
