Lets discuss the Cube Method

We'll see. I said to myself the day I start eating meat again is the day I hop on the gear lol.

If you're going to do it you might as well not half ass it, lol.

It'll be a hell of a day.

Massive steak for breakfast, comb my Doyle Kennedy styled beard, a handful of orals, get the wife to pin me then step into an Inzer Liviathan suit. Game on!

Thanks for posting that up, much appreciated.

Next time you speak to Brandon please tell him that Mini Forklift says to stop posting so many meat photos on his Facebook page lol.

I'm gonna try that meatloaf recipe. Damn I say that last night at work about 1 am.....I hated him. LOL.

LOL. If you're gonna rock that beard you're gonna have to move up a few weight classes.

This is worth listening to guys, Brandon covers pretty much everything about The Cube Method here:

I knew Doyle Kennedy and trained at his gym a few times. Competed in his meets too. He was a great guy.

That is name I'd bet a lot of these youngsters don't know. Monster pull'er.

It's great to see the Cube method taking off..... Brandon clearly knows what he's doing and has been a stand-up guy every time we've talked.

I'm considering starting up the Cube next month, and I've read Lilly's book and familiarized myself with some updates he's posted over at Juggernaut (like this one).

I want to make sure that I understand the concept of "Explosive" day. I know that the term sort of suggests itself, but is there any nuance to it that a noob may not either understand or fully appreciate as it relates to explosive deadlifts, bench, and squats?

And specifically, on explosive deadlift day, are the reps for each set touch and go or do you still do a reset?

Good to see this come back up.... after reading the Lilliebridge stuff I definitely prefer that over the Cube.

The cube is just a bastardization of Westside, Brian Carrol's stuff, and some Dan Green nutswinging.

The Lilliebridge stuff has proven results from decades of actual use from the family and their lifters show more progress.

I gotta pick up the Lilliebridge e-book b/c I'd be interested in seeing what they do for training.

One of the reasons why it interests me is that it looks like a nice transition program from 5/3/1. With 5/3/1, I felt like I was only getting stronger on the last set. Like everything was a warm-up to that last set to failure.

With Cube, it seems like I'll be getting stronger in multiple sets. My conditioning will improve. And I also like the idea of having a fixed number of reps. It creates that goal in my mind, like I have to hit that number of reps.

That's not to say, I'll limit myself. If I have the extra reps in me, I'll do them (especially on the heavy day), or I'll add an extra set with reps to failure if I think I can do it.

I'd love to get into a program like Sheiko or Smolov, but I'm not to the point where I can do something that rigorous. And I'm not sure what Lillebridge's program is like, and I don't have the $150 handy to purchase it.
