    On some good advise I've been reading up on the Coan/Phillipi deadlift routine

    Just finished the Coan-Phillipi programme yesterday.. really liked it and well worth giving a shot man


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,420 ✭✭✭Magic Eight Ball


    Cheers man.
    Yeah Mike was telling me alot of people were getting some good results from it. I like the volume of lifting ya do on it. See I did 531, but wasn't a big fan of the lack of volume.

    I wonder, can I use the same principal of the routine for my poxy squat.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    You could try Kevpant's squat routine for 531 might be helpful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,392 ✭✭✭COH


    If its just strength you're looking for you could try one of the squat programmes here http://www.joeskopec.com/programs.html to run at the same time as the Coan-Phillipi programme. I've never followed any particular squat programme before so others here might have better input.

    Would it not have been easier to just say a 500m row? :D hehe


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,863 ✭✭✭kevpants


    I'd advise against Coan Phillipi. I found it to be a stupid amount of deadlifting with stupid jumps in what you're meant to be able to lift. It just burnt me out. And don't let the Coan name on it fool you. He had nothing to do with it apparently!

    The 531 thing brian mentioned is in my log a few pages back. I came up with it tackle the problem of volume you mentioned. I'm finding it a big help and I'm PR'ing more than my cat (Purring, PR'ing...see what I did there?).

    Feel free to try it out and ak questions if you have any.

    I actually started the Coan-Phillipi programme after seeing it in yours and Hanley's log a while back. Ran it from 210 to 240 over the past 10 weeks without missing a lift. I deadlifted 230 (hitched) about 18 months ago but since then the most I pulled was 210 for a single. Had a couple of failed attempts at 220 before I started.

    I plan on running it again from 240 to 265, and dreading the 252.5x2 day in week 8. But I think to finish it you probably have to underestimate your current 1RM and hope to god by the time weeks 7-10 come around that your strength has caught up to what the programme demands

    252 for 2 is actually where I buckled! See here:



    It just didn't work for me I was in ribbons by week 7. I'm not a good recoverererer though. Can't bounce back from heavy deadlifts.

    man your legs will be in tatters from that squat session!

    Maybe time to add in some partial squats for 2-4 sets at 120-140kg in next session then try a set at 112.5kg or 115kg.

    transform whats your reckoning behind partial squats?
    i cant see any benifit to them as the position you most likely start your partial will not be the same as it is if you where at that point in a full squat. also seems a bit risky.

    It didn't take that much time at all. The second lot was more of a metcon type thing I wanted to try. I was banging out the 10 reps taking a 90 second break and banging out the next set. It certainly got the heart rate up. :pac:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭DamienH


    I'm still a big girl so I had to sub pullups with ring rows. Got it done in 37:35 so I was happy enough. I thought the situps were the worst but I think that's because I haven't done one since well before christmas. If your doing any other mad workouts let me know and I'll give them a crack. I'm moving away soon and won't have access to a gym so it's going to be bodyweight crossfit all the way for a while I think.

    Get yourself a chinning bar and rings, that's all ya need.
    I find doing normal dips on a bar (without weight) kinda redundant after doing them on rings.

    Gonna try weighted ring dips for the first time today.. :eek:

    Ya that's what I've been thinking. I'll start off doing some static holds on the rings, move onto negatives and then hopefully the dips will come, then there can be no excuses :D
