Does anyone else find this program a tad unrealistic in a gym environment- super setting squat and bench press- I would get daggers in my gym if I tried to use all that stuff in one go.0
-
Here!! Doing that and Simply Shredded0

I'm in week 12. I do it at home. I have to get creative with back extensions since I don't have that equipment.0

What do you do for back extensions? I just do superman...

I did it at home. I can see how it would be hard in the gym. You would either have to not superset or I guess you could bench in the squat rack, which would give people something to complain about.

I just bought the book....but haven't read it yet....so, ummmm, following the thread I guess? LOL0
-
Any progress?0
-
-
I skip some of the workouts that I can't do at home..
Is that bad? I do squats instead0 -

There are so many substitutions. Have you looked through them to figure out how to make them work? What are the workouts that you can't do at home?0

I am doing it. Even though I have lifted for years, I am doing the beginner program. Its a little basic for me, but just the amount of butt and hammy exercises that are going on daily, I think basic is best at this point. Just to get used to propper technique. have done for 4 weeks now, maybe 3 and I am seeing great progress in my butt. 0

Waiting for the Supersets to start when the gym is less busy, I would probably get shanked for using all that stuff as busy as it is right now. I hear ya.0 -

I find I can super set some stuff and others I can't. If I have hip thrusts and one arm rows, I can superset that because I'll be taking up a bench regardless. If there are multiple empty benches I don't feel bad about running over to seated row machine since I go very early in the morning. Definitely can't super set squats and benches. It really doesn't make a big difference. I did the beginner program, advanced program, and now I'm running through the advanced program again with some modifications. Most of it wasn't supersetted.0 -
I did the Gorgeous Glutes (lower body) program at home. I had to make some substitutions but I made it work. Great results so far. Now I am running a bodybuilding split program from his website.0
-
Cable rows
Bench press
Chin up
Straight leg sit ups
Inverted row
These are the workouts I cannot do at home

I'm not doing this program but am interested in trying it someday. I just add hip thrusts to my program now. Am curious what else from SC I could add while I give this other program a good run before I switch.0

RDLs, glute bridges (barbell, elevated, and single leg varieties), and band work like seated and lying abductions. Mostly higher reps (check the templates by googling "strong curves pdf".)0 -

@arditarose I like the body weight foot-elevated single leg glute bridge or hip thrust. They seem to target the hams and glutes best for me.
@s_hossein throw some rings over a beam (or a stable cage) for inverted rows.0 -

Great, thanks! I wonder if I add them, should I not do my Good Mornings or leg curls that day too? Seems like overkill.0 -

I vote for dropping leg curls but that because I hate them and like good mornings haha0 -

I know! I just added the leg curls because I was skipping them. You think Good Mornings are enough? I like them.0 -

They might be.
I'm honestly too lazy to go graby strength training anatomy book to double check. It's in my basement and I'm comfy.
I hope GMs are enough, I can't do leg curls due to equipment. But with hip thrusters or the glute bridges from above, i think it'd be enough0 -

Awesome. I'd have a great time at the gym if it weren't for leg curls and bulgarian split squats (which I really just gave up on).0 -

What's wrong with the split squat??
I'm considering them for this winter when I'm healed and back to a split routine0 -
