I will also try this routine in a couple of a months, but it must get really hard when you're hitting PR's on all your lifts, especially if you're past the beginner stage where you can add weights each session. So I guess you should aim for weekly progression on this routine after a while then?

a beginner with remarkable recovery could pull that off. I very much doubt Reg performed that routine without varying the intensity through the weeks and months.

Why not just try the routine? Sweet jesus. Estimated time you wasted with this thread?

I suggest incorporating calf work and bicep (if there is in this one). This is the same routine Reg Park recommends for people past the beggining stage programs of his routines. I have great recovery so I am adding in DB Curls. Also, I am making PR's but I need more work that's why I...
