Hammer Training Methods Vol I

I know there are plenty of you who go by books, elaborate studies, journals, ...etc...etc.....

This training program is NOT designed by any of that. It has been a program that I run from time to time to completely mix everything up and destroy my body. It occurs once a year and it's that time again.

I call it the 10X10 principle.

I posted my back workout from yesterday today. It consisted of 10X10 barbell shrugs. 1-2 minute rests between sets. Intense. I use weights that are roughly 60-70% of my total max for these sets. If it was leg day it would be - squats 10X10. If it was chest day - bench press 10X10

The main principle of this 10X10 program is this;
Each day you have to pick a bodypart (back, chest, legs).
You get ONE exercise to utilize in that day.
10X10 with 60-70% of you total ORM.

The only stipulation in this program that I have found is that I only use the 10X10 for;

Back - monday
chest - wednesday
legs - friday

I use my off days to train shoulders, arms, and calves. Depending on your priorities you could even supplement shoulders for chest or mix and match. Either way you do what is best for you.

It requires a lot of mental toughness and a desire to destroy yourself in order to get back into the training regimen that feels most comfortable. sometimes TOO comfortable, hence the change.

Take this with a grain of salt as this is something that works for me. I am not advocating the use of this program like the bible nor do I believe that it may work to that level. It's something that I have used with success and I wanted to share it.

COol... shocking the body is a must every once in a while IMO..

Whats the BW up to now dave?

I am stuck @ 238 right now and I am not training my lower body due to hammie injury.

Thanx for the shout brolomite.
 
I like it. Reminds me a little bit of the East German 3x3. You train M,W,F, and each day you squat, then you bench, then you deadlift, with a lot of volume. Hard as fuck. Nothing fancy. Just lots of pain.
 
Hammer,

This is a nice approach!!

I wish you the best of luck with your hamstring!! Please send me an email and feel free to provide the details.

You know what to do. . . .

get the injury under control, let it heal, and strengthen the area.

Increased flexibility and strength will greatly diminish the chance of injury, but you already know this. . good luck my man.
 
Polish, nice dude. 10x10 definately calls for a soulder's heart. I believe this program will shock the piss out of your body and cause massive growth. I will try it as well when I finish rehabbing my knee.

Question....What are you doing to do for leg day since you have an injury?

Hammer if you legs are injured is there any way you can do hip work (reverse thigh masters) and some calf work. just for an accessory work, so when you come back the focus will be mostly on the injured parts versus your who lower body

I do accesory work on my off days. Those have been included bc I will not allow my hips to ever be a weak point again. Instead they will become a strength.

Solid post.
 
Polish, did your injury result from hip weakness? Or are you just pointing out a goal in making it a strength in general??

BTW, are you still able to deadlift?
