Im caught in a conundrum right now folks. Im tied between two programs focusing on getting me stronger this offseason. I plan on eating my face off, and catching the rebound from this diet, so keep in mind these will be bodybuilding intesive programs.
So right now the question is, a simple 5x5 by bill starr/madcow, or Louie simmons' conjugate method. My issues with each are as follows
-The WBB program seems focused on equiped lifting, and thats not my focus. I want my big three to improve so I can improve in size.
-The good morning frequency in WBB is going to be extremely challenging to progress on with my height (6'5")
-Starr has me squating three times a week. Not sure how this fairs for my knees.
As well, my cardio will be GPP/boxing. Two nights of tire flips/drags/sledge swings, and one night of heavy bag and jump rope rounds. This will be on either program, regardless of choice. I want to be at least SEMI athletic, so I need to focus on maintaining cardiovascular health in the offseason.
Body-wise, my arms and legs are my strong points, with my torso and shoulders lagging. Anyone with experience or opinions is welcome to chime in.
