Squats and Deadlifts v.do them

My favorite blog says do just squats deadlifts and bench. http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blo...ting-and-how-to-add-110-pounds-to-your-lifts/

5x5 no less - nerds know what's up

 

34lbs of muscle in 4 weeks? YAH OK

 

goin to get yoked see you in 28 days

 

4 weeks of actual time, not 4 calender weeks I believe

 

ANIMAL PAKS

 

"The deadlift is more functional in that it’s very hard to imagine a more useful application of strength than picking heavy shit up off the ground. " - Mark Rippetoe

 

Well I always tell my mate, all your really need to do is Bench, Squat and Deads to get big. But I also throw in pullups as well.

 

The man has a talent for convoluted, easily misinterpreted phrases. "4 hour work week is a minimum to work towards, not something i guarantee."

 

if you read his book it's probably the opposite, the idea is you basically don't work at all unless it's something you want to do.

 

I've read the book. It's horrid.

If you work 4 hours a week you're a fucking loser. Period.

Builds no character.

 

The book was okay. There were certainly some interesting ideas.

 

Who gives a fuck about building character via doing something you don't like? That's some bullshit if I've ever heard it. Personally, I'd rather love what I do and never have to "work" a day in my life.

The interview with him that I read phrased it as something like "the title is the absolute minimum possible, but not a gurantee- or even reasonable for some people."

 

AMEN!!

 

nope calender weeks. Fucker is insane.

So take a decent dip in size
perfect diet with very high protien
high intensity/heavy negative mostly olympic lifts
mostly untrained within the last year or so
then figure half of that is water weight

Doable?

 

yeah probably. i gained 20 lbs in the first 3 weeks. never worked out before. just started eating more and worked out 3-4 times a week. then it took me like 3 months to gain the next 4 lbs lol. wait nm...i gained 10 lbs the first 3 weeks. then another 10 the next month. then 4 the next 2 months.

 

clean and press instead of bench would be better imo
