Dear friends,
I have been reading different sections from the PTTP book, and SFL manual (where the PTTP protocol is summarized pretty well in two pages) and various threads on this forum. I am planning to do several short cycles of PTTP alternating with 1-2-3 ladders when appropriate as described in the SFL manual.
Also I I may try different variations (5/3/2, 100%/90%, wave cycles etc) as I move on. I will start with DL and BP (that was a concern I had, to drop SQ). I will start incorporating SQ/MP as some of you have already done with this program later on.
Just to give a background, I am coming out of several months of Faleev's 5x5 program, my first ever barbell program. I could use a change of pace. And some contrast. I am throwing in some cardio component in the form of MAF style jogging, since it is summer and pretty outside.
My goal, being in compliance with Marty Gallagher's advice of doing seasonally appropriate training and nutrition, to lose a few pounds (hopefully fat), to improve my lifting numbers, and to eat clean and light in the next few months of summer. Then in the winter change up the game, eat more and train for hypertrophy (perhaps the russian Bear protocol then).
Do you see any problem with my plan (below)? I hope to run several cycles of this till winter.
Thanks.
