Those are good words Freddy and you're right, I don't plan to compete any time soon, I just want to build explosive power and strength for my own personal goals. I thought that WSB style training would be the best way to go about this. Perhaps I will start with 5x5's for a couple 8wk cycles and see how it goes, then start into WSB. Then as my core lifts go up, perhaps I'll consider competing.
Phreezer, my appologies bro, I should have been more clear in my goals. I hope you don't think you waisted your time on me. As I said, you've been very encouraging along with the others, and I want to learn as much as I possibly can about strength training and PL.
I have been reading a ton, but man I have a lot to learn yet. I want to thank you guys for all the help you've given me so far. You've been very encouraging. As I said in my original post, I want to get away from always being concerned if I'm gaining any size or not. It's very draining, mentally, getting on the scales every day to see if you've gained a pound only to have lost two. Looking in the mirror every chance you get to see if you look any different than you did 5 mins. prior. Right now, I'm just gonna focus on my strength and not worry about the other. It comes down to the fact that it's time for a change, and this is where it starts.
I'm here! Sorry man just really busy with the january crowd at my gym right now so i dont have as much free time to post on boards etc. Still get a post in once in a while here and there though
MBBP - I agree with the others here...Start with 5 x 5 or something with a little more volume in the classical lifts rather than WSB style training. Once you have a good amount of strength etc you can try WSB or similar rotating ME / DE type split if you decide you want to compete in PL.
OK, it's sinking in now. IE., train in a manner that meets your goals. Why didn't I think of that earlier. I know it, I just couldn't see it. I think my vision was clouded by my frustration with myself.
You guys truly have been a blessing to me in helping me sort this out.
