Massive Iron E-Book

Hi Steve I am a ardent follower of your channel on YouTube. You were kind enough to dedicate a video on certain questions I had about 3 years back. I need your expertise in designing a program specific for my needs and I am ready to subscribe for the same but before paying the amount I thought I will atleast send an email to you about certain things to make you aware about issues that I am facing and whether you can help me out. I am 48 years old male from India. Was into strength training till the covid hit and gyms were closed. So around March 2020 I was 2 plates on bench press, 3 plates on squats and 4 plates on deadlift. I re started around 7 months back and somehow could not continue with strength training as I wanted to cut down on body fat, I was weighing 87 kgs around 7 months back and now I am 82.4 kgs. I am on push pull leg routine but the issue is I am getting mixed up in hypertrophy and strength training so more or less every time I work out I start doing very heavy sets on all exercises because that keeps me motivated but I am taking way too long to recover. I am doing 4 days split. I am on track 95% on nutrition and very dedicated in my workouts. I am not genetically very strong but have been able to lift heavy ( for my standards) through consistency, progressive overload and definitely a lot of learning through videos from fitness trainers such as yourself. Is it possible to design a program, 4 days push pull legs split with a combination of strength and hypertrophy but keeping in check my recovery, which is somehow taking a good time. May be i am doing it wrong by doing more sets and more reps and that I didn’t program the exercises myself correctly. May be I am just trying to lift heavy all time and taxing my CNS. And that I need professional help in properly designing a program and that’s why I am approaching you, seeking help. I would love to have below exercises incorporated in the program bench press, incline dumbbell press, squats and trap bar dead lifts, all other exercises can be anyone of your choice. I don’t wish to go below 80 kgs of weight and will start eating for maintenance once I am at that weight. Currently I am in deficit of about 300 calories a day and on rest days I am walking a lot. I hit 10k steps atleast 5 times a day per week. Please do let me know, so that I can plan to subscribe and if possible please send me details of the amount that I need to pay for the same. Hoping you will be able to spare sometime and help me out. Regards Nabil

Hi Steve: I purchased your Rep Goal ebook and I like the principles outlined. I am a 74 year old that has powerlifted on/off since my early 50 ‘s. My best bench was 320 at a body weight of 185. I was a caretaker for my wife for the past 10 years of her life (she passed in 2019) I want to regain as much strength as I can but not sure what workout to use. I am currently doing a five week program with the last week being a deload. My bench has suffered as I have some mobility issues. My deadlift stands at 200 lbs at 179 lbs BW. Squats are limited to SSB (I just purchased) My bp is probably around a 160-165 1rm. Any suggestions. I am limited to 3 days a week I have a half rack, a landmine and some cable pull down and seated row I made

It's hard to say which workout to use. I would start with how many days a week do you like to workout right now. From there it's about picking a plan that works for you. There is no best plan. Pick a plan that allows you to swap in exercises that work for you at this time.

I would be happy to help you with a custom plan if interested. I feel this would be the best option for you as you have very specific goals.

Hi ! I bought your e book massive iron on the 21 of February 2020 and I haven’t received it yet cheers!

Hi Frank. It likely landed in your spam box. I'll send it out again, and thanks for your support!

So if I buy your complete collection I get every ebook/course you come out with? Is there anything that isnt included?

Everything is included. Also, when I release new material it is sent to you free of charge.

Hi MR. Shaw. What are the differences between Massive Iron and Massive 6? I am a beginner to weight training, roughly 1 month of consistent work. Which is best-suited ebook to build my strength base?

Massive Iron is a complete overview of how to make any program work. It contains about 20 sample programs.

Massive Six is a program I set up as a go-to for beginners that are tired of available beginner program options and want a complete road map.

What are home full body workouts with barbells and dumbbells

The Massive Iron boody provide many workout examples. If you would like me to design a custom program for you, please check out this service: https://superlivingtoday.com/collections/services/products/workout-assessment  

Hay my friend I’ve always had week bench. I have perfect form far as I been told. I’ve been lifting 30 plus years when I started power lifting I squat 600 dead 600 bench maybe 300. Now at 53 and a broken neck later I squat 450 dead lift 500 and BENCH 250-275 can you help.

I provide workout and form assessments along with coaching options.

How many pages is the eBook?

The Massive Iron e-book has 214 pages and about 20 sample workouts.

How can I get a hard copy?

Unfortunately, there are no hard copies available. The best you can do is print the PDF and place it in a binder.

Hi, I'm 42 and have been consistently lifting for several years now, although probably not the most optimal training or eating for the first few years, and have put on a descent amount of muscle. I came across your book Massive Iron-The Rep Goal System and it is very simple and intuitive to me. I have always been one to try and really push my limits in the gym and keep the intensity high by pushing each set to failure. or at least 1 shy. My question is, with this system how do I deal with a stall or plateau? Being stuck at a certain weight on a certain lift and not being able to progress?

Stalls are usually a patience issue. When the effort is there true stalls rarely occur. Progress always slows over time. You juts need to understand that at some point adding "only" one rep a month is good progress. Check a one rep max calculator. One rep adds abotu 5 pounds to a lift.
