Worthless.

The Lilliebridge manual is much better if you are raw. Brian Carrol's is much better if you are raw and/or might ever compete in gear.

Hardly worthless, IMO. I like the setup he uses, but the volume is too high for a natural. I had to cut down quite a bit.

OP: it's pretty much a ME DE RE setup, and each day is mainly based on big three and assistance. Example:

Bench day example:
Bench
Close grip
Spoto press
Lat work
Some kind of tricep work



Agree that Carroll's is good.

I ended up getting the ebook, and I actually like the setup a lot. But the deadlift volume is too high for me.. I can hardly make it through a rep effort day without having to be carried out from excruciating back pumps lol.

12x2 12x2 12x1 should be ok for most. I used 60% though, not 70 as the book says.

I'm still using his layout, but for me the reps are now a modified 5/3/1 and I'm not doing the dynamic effort day.

Do you have a log? I'm interested how you've set that up.

I've never ready Carrol's book. I've read the other 2 and my training is a bit like the Lilleibridges.

Unfortunately no, but here's pretty much how it's structured.
I have one test for strength in which i consider the main lifts every 11th week, not all are shown in this pic.
Where there's just a single digit and no percentages, it means work up to one main work set.
