power to the people

Good morning! I have returneded! So I detoured during the pandemic. I spent some time doing increasingly ambitious (read: silly) calisthenics work before finally coming to the long-overdue conclusion that my body just DOES NOT LIKE unilateral exercises (I finally got the one-arm Push-up and was...

I recently have started doing a new workout specifically for combat sports, experimenting alongside kettlebells (Could also be used with barbell if available in a home gym) The routine goes along like this, taking heavier kettlebells and doing a strength set (3-5 reps) of just Clean and Jerks...

I'm looking for a minimalist program that focuses on the Bench, Squat, and Deadlift. PTTP is an extremely interesting program to me and I hear great things about it. I want to implement it as soon as I'm done with bootcamp and whatnot. But I am curious if it'd be too taxing to add Squats to the...

Hey everyone, Apologies as I'm sure this has been covered many times before. I've just started a linear cycle, basic 2×5, utilizing sumo deads and standard bench. I'd like to throw in some conditioning so that I can keep my heart fit for the eventual cycle back to kettlebell. I was thinking of...

I've been going to the gym for about 2 years doing Stronglifts 5x5 (similar to Starting Strength) without much success. I had a year break from going to the gym. I stayed active (was finishing the basement), but resumed working out few weeks ago doing this: I feel like I won't progress on...

I've been following the Power To The People! program for a few weeks and I'm coming to the end of my first cycle. I'm making progress but the workouts are starting to leave me fairly sore (deadlifts and my lower back, in particular - presses are hard work but aren't beating me up at all). I've...

I recently read PTP and was intrigued by the Russian Bear program. I'm tossing around the idea of working it in the future and had a few questions about its implementation. - Could it be run like ROP? Three days working the program with two "variety days"? - Could/Should those variety days...

Hello, I started a PTTP deadlift cycle for the first time about 10-12 days ago. I did not for the time being include any type of pressing. I wanted to know if I could use the KB military press or TGU instead of the barbell side press. The main reason being that I want to train either one since...

I'd appreciate it very much if someone could give me advice on how to adjust the "Power to the People" programme to dumbells. I love the book, but given my living situation, a barbell set is a bit too big. I have lots of dumbbells though. I'd love to try this for a while and compare the results...
