Canditos linear strength programs, good or naw? Can't just

Decent but your bench will suffer.

I prefer GZCL myself

i understand his bench is trash, but does his program cause shit bench gains as well?

It's literally as good as any other LP program for bench. If you want to keep doing it after you stall I'd just swap out his bench stuff for Nuckols' twice a week intermediate bench.

How do you work in Nuckols' bench routine to make it a full upper body day? Chuck in rows after bench and anything else?

>>41617752
Literally just sub in Nuckols' bench for whatever Candito prescribes for bench in his LP routine. Do the rest of the workout as Candito prescribes.

>twice a week
There is literally zero (0) reason to not bench at least three (3) times per week

>>41617849
You can bench 3x if you want, I just recommended Nuckols' 2x a week template because you can easily plug it in to Candito's U/L split. Nuckols has 3x a week templates too if he wants to do those

So the accessories Greg prescribes aren't as important as the actual 1RM percentage and 4 week progression?

>>41617912
No, accessory work is always secondary to the main lift. He adds accessory stuff to his intermediate routines because as you become more advanced you can't just keep doing only the bench press. You have to add accessory exercises to strengthen your triceps, shoulders, etc. as well. You don't need to specifically do Nuckols' accessory stuff if you're already getting it from Candito's routine.

Look, don't overthink this stuff. Don't obssess about finding the perfect, most optimal routine. Just pick a plan from a reputable source that fits your goals and do it until you stop getting results from it. Then change it up so you start getting results again. Rinse and repeat.

Alright thanks. Looking over it it appears that the sheer bench volume is the major importance. I think I'll just sub in Greg's recommended bench %s and reps and stick with everything else I'm doing on the candito LP.

>>41617466
i hear this a lot, to sub in nuckols for canditos bench, is it one person jumping around recommending this or is this a popular opinion?

im currently running c6w and nuckols 3x intermediate bench

works good for me, makes me enjoy benching

This

His linear program is nice but running GZCL is better because you are constantly lifting 85%+ every week and for many more reps than his program. You can always make up for reps running tier 2 exercises after your tier 1 lifts.

He has pretty bad insertions.
Btw, what happened with his yt channel?

>>41617496
he's fit, but damn he looks like a fucking freak all around, from his face to muscle insertions
