Experimental Rolling Thunder Program

I'm in for giving this a shot. Wondering if doing light gripper work for active recovery would be counter productive.

I'm interested in this program but the link is dead. Does someone have a link or a copy of this program for me?

This guy flew the coop like 2 years ago. He's still somewhat active on Facebook. Jonathan Umpherville is his name.

I didn't check the date on this until halfway through. Bummer there are no results to check out.

Yeah to bad. Some here have tried it. Maybe they want to respond about the program.

I went from around 70kg 1rm to 90kg 1rm with two rounds of this program.

Im currently doing another round of this, with slight changes.

Trying to beat 100kg on RT this year!

Could someone who has a copy of the routine post it here or upload it somewhere if possible? I would really like to read it but the link it dead.

I've tried it. it didn't work out so well for me. Baseline strength went up a few kilos but I didn't get a peak. To be honest though, I used kilos instead of pounds and didn't adjust, just went with the numbers and that was probably not so smart, probably overtrained with too much weight that way. I will try it again and do it properly sometime when I feel motivated.

If someone want to try it, just send me a PM with your mail and I'll send it to you.

I would like to try it, or at least to read the program for some training ideas. It would be great if you could PM me with it. Sorry for the late response, I didn't tick the notify me of replies box.

Sorry guys, another bump bringing a long dead thread to life again.

I would be very keen to see this program. Anyone on this forum have a copy of it, or clues on who to contact?

I was going to contact who I think was the author of it on facebook (as listed in Jedds post)...but I feel a little bit creepy doing so (also I am not sure its him)

Also PeterSweden who has used the program hasn't been on here since 2016

From what I can piece together its something like 3 sets of 10 3 times a week with 75%

Write your email address!
could you drop this program into my inbox as well to take a look and examine author's programming skills and habits?

this is just a simple linear progression like in powerlifting. in case you can adapt every form you can find. most people have good results with classic 108% plans over 8 weeks with starting high frequency medium loads and 1% more load every week to the end with heavy singles.

Seems to me exactly so, but the very big jump from working loading to single is introduced. I'd make a hazard that this is an example of the linear progression (not the best approach) to be applied for newbie grip athletes.

The + sets is cardio. I remember when I did this I started with like 50 reps. I just fell to the floor, it totally wiped me out!

When I got to the later stage my arms were dead, could definitely not max out, I was weaker than when I started. After a few weeks of rest I tried again and I think I gained around 2-3 kg's on my 1RM.
