Had some time to kill so went through all old training diaries and scooped out the programs i followed and stats that i recorded along the way...basically this is to show all how much and how little can be made from program to program so instead of asking "how long until i see results?", look at this for an idea...it's a little cramped, point form etc so do your best...

1 Rep to Grow Program
- Choose 1 lower and 1 upper body exercise that you want to improve strength on and one that you have perfect technique on
- training days are mon, wed, fri or tue, thu, sat
- mon is lower body with 1 Rep to Grow protocol and 2 - 3 other exercises
- wed is full body using a bodybuilding type program
- fri is upper body day with 1 Rep to Grow protocol and 2 - 3 other exercises
1 Rep to Grow Protocol
Find your 5 rep max (the most wt you can perform 3 perfect reps with but not 4) for your chosen exercises and follow what's below:
week 1 - 10 x 1 with 90secs rest
week 2 - 10 x 1 w/ 75secs rest
week 3 - 10 x 1 w/ 60

week 5 - 10 x 1 w/ 30
week 6 - 10 x 1 w/ 20
week 7 - 10 x 1 w/ 10
week 8 - 1 x 10
use the same wt each week with the goal being to lift a wt that you could only do 5 times 8 weeks ago 10 times
it might not work exactly as prescribed but it should go pretty close
mon - Deadlift 1 Rep to Grow...Static Lunge 3 x 8 alternated with Leg Curl 3 x 8...Ab Brace 3 x as long as you can
wed - Front Squat alternated with DB Bench Press 3 x 8...1 Leg Deadlift alternated with DB Row 3 x 12...Side Ab Brace 3 x as long as you can
