So I just finished week 8 of the cube. All I have to say is Holy Shit! Thanks Joli and Ecks! I wouldn't have ever ran it without your guys input and advice.. I was very skeptical at first. It didn't seem like enough of the big 3 each week, but I figured if it works for dudes way bigger and stronger than I could ever imagine being, so just ****in do it.
I based my program off of a 415 bench, a 575 DL, and a 350 Squat(don't laugh, I have horrible knees and even with wraps don't feel comfortable squatting heavy weight).
So week 8 My bench was 80% rep day and I absolutely crushed 315 for 6 with a 1 count pause on my chest(how long should it be?). I was very pleased to say the least. My DL was day was heavy effort day and I ripped 490, 505, and 520 off the floor with ease. I felt so strong I loaded 545 for an extra rep and ****in tore it off the floor. I know I can pull 600 now. I do have to say I use straps, my hands are in terrible shape and I don't think I could pull jack shit without them. But, it is what it is.... 18 years of heavy construction, 17 years of competitive hockey, and way to many stupid fights have left me a bitter, broken man lol.
Even though I'm not squatting heavy, I feel that just squatting at all has made my pull that much better.
All in all I am loving the cube and highly recommend it. I can't wait to break my PRs week 10. My weight has stayed between 260-263 and my fat ass is leaner than when I started. Even my wife told that I "look less fat than normal." Doesn't it feel great to get a nice compliment. Currently running 750 mg/wk Test C. I did run Anavar for about 4 1/2 weeks at 75 mg/day and was loving it, but my stupid BP stated creeping up on me and I dropped it. BP went back down within 3 days. Orals hate me. Oh well, Test C only for me from here on out. Also was on 150 mg/wk Deca for joint relief for about 9 months, dropped it 5 weeks ago for a break and my joints still feel awesome.
Sorry for the long winded bullshit....now I'm done.
