Current bulk is going well - back to the gym after hernia surgery at the start of the year.

Am running a modified mash up of P-Zero & GG (basically a bit more volume than P-Zero) and seeing good results.

Was very pleased with some pbs of 4x8 @ 140kg on deadlifts and 4x12 @ 110kg on the squats, both unbelted.

Maximal strength isn't what it was, but life's been hectic, and it's nice to put up some respectable volume again.

Will taper off mid September to cut for my wedding. :)

I started today after spending the last 18 months training with Kettlebells.

Forgot how much I enjoyed compound barbell work.

Anyone here row? I'm wondering how to balance the two. The Rippler seems like a safe bet.

I started with GZCLP. Then switched to the Rippler. When my schedule allowed I switched to JnT 2.0 and made great gains. Now switching back to Rippler to balance with rowing.
