Well, I've decided that Cycle 6 is going to be my last cycle. Been a great 7-8 months, but now the weights are getting heavier, I won't be able to run the routine properly on minimal sleep (it makes a massive difference in later Cycles - trust me!).
I'll check by every so often though, so if you have any questions that someone who's run the routine for a while could help you with, let me know and I'll do my best to lend a hand!
If anyone's interested, I'll be running two week blocks of Dan John's Even Easier Strength - with every third week doing explosive lifts/hill sprints one day and single-sided loaded carries the next. Then back into another two week strength block (and so on).
Good luck and good lifting,
Jimmer

I think 5 to 6 cycle's is what most people do on this routine before switching to something different :happy: For myself it will also probably be 2 more cycle's max.
I'll go Google your new program, I'm looking around for a follow up routine as well. My first thoughts were on Wendlers 5/3/1 though.
Anywy, It was good having you around in this group! :smokin:0 -

I suppose it's more of a template than a programme. It's a very much a 'go by feel' sort of thing which will be a change of pace after percentages and RM's!0 -
jimmmer, thanks for all the tips and advice you gave us.
wish you all the best with your fitness programs0 -
As someone new to lifting and new to this group, I really enjoyed your common sense approach and easy to understand explanations. Thanks for all your helpful advice and good luck in your future. And have fun with your little munchkin!0

Good luck with the new routine, and the lack of sleep as well. ;-)0
