hows this workout for you? are you seeing some good gains? im just curious as im thinking of starting one of chads workouts soon.


The workout is good and im seeing some gains (mainly squats and deads)
Its easy to follow as its already planned out, you just change the weight, sets/reps when ur ready. Im coming towards week 4 when i was gonna take measurements to see if any size gains(I took some prior to this routine) im not expectin much as i know it takes time.

The routines i have followed by CW so far

3 day per week full body workout (Hypertrophy)
Art of Waterbury
Big boy basics

ive been doing own routines since i started working out in september.

ive just been taking advice and reading up on things and been pretty much putting routines together myself!

ive made some quite good gains in strength and size. when i started at the end of sep i was struggling to bench 50kg for 1 rep(embarrassing i know!) now im benching 70kg for reps (slightly less embarrasing!)

the best gains have been in legs though as i had never done an exercise for legs in life. but now i love squats and deads!

ive been wanting to do some of waterburys stuff for a while but i want a clear run at it ( weeks are sometimes interupted as i need to go to college through work as a mechanic, and theres no gym there.)

Its good to see gains tho, lets u kno ur headed in the right direction. Prior to findin this site, i never worked the legs either (apart from cardio) I used to write own programs mainly consisting of bicep curls, bench press, DB shrugs, military press(common mistake i thought it was all about the arms) and the odd squat

but with the proper guidance ive got from followin CW programs (and comin here) Ive learnt where most strength comes from, now its all about squattin/deadliftin/bench pressin, I dont even care for bicep curl no more

I was supposed to do pull ups today but bar is outside and it was pissin it down, I could have done something else but i wasnt sure what.

Swans I meant standard planks not standing planks lol bad, i searched you tube and found different variants, such as a standard plank then liftin one arm and the one leg then alternating and side planks using either a db or jus twistin under yourself, I will look up those suggested.

Ive been reading up on 'Bodybuilding's Next Frontier
The Waterbury High Frequency System
by Chad Waterbury' seems good, when looking up programs i gotta make sure that I can do all the exercises (with equipment)

i am planning on starting it next week or week after, Phase 3 includes AM and PM workouts, with current eating plan, Is it ok to do the AM workout after a big breakfast??
