I am quietly smashing my own PR’s piece by piece using my ASS program.
I’m not going to talk shit here. Anyone who knows me knows I tell it like it is and have no problems saying “shit doesn’t work”. Well, my shit works.
From physique improvements to strength. The past several months have been giving me the best gains, overall, of my gym life.
Today was no exception.
One of my long standing goals is a 315 pound press. I creeped closer to that today.
PRESS
Set 1: 45 lbs × 8
Set 2: 95 lbs × 6
Set 3: 135 lbs × 3
Set 4: 155 lbs × 2
Set 5: 175 lbs × 1
Set 6: 185 lbs × 1
Set 7: 205 lbs × 1
Set 8: 225 lbs × 1
Set 9: 265 lbs × 1
Set 10: 275 lbs × 1
Lifetime PR. I weigh 270 right now so this is above bodyweight. Seriously happy with this.
DUMBBELL INCLINE BENCH
Set 1: 85 lbs × 20
Set 2: 85 lbs × 15
Set 3: 85 lbs × 15
MEDIUM BAND PULL APARTS
Set 1: 20
Set 2: 20
Set 3: 20
SIDE LATERALS
Set 1: 20 lbs × 15
Set 2: 20 lbs × 15
Set 3: 20 lbs × 15
MEDIUM BAND PRESSDOWNS
Set 1: 100 reps
BARBELL CURLS
Set 1: 55 lbs × 100
Rest of the workout was spent ripping it out like a bodybuilder because why screw with a formula that is working for me and keeps working for everyone doing this.

Hey Jay,
Glad to hear your training is going so well!! I have been following your blog for a while now and just wanted to thank you for all of the great content that you share!
That being said, your A.S.S program/book sounds like it is a great system, and I was just wondering if you had any idea when it would be ready to purchase?
Thanks Jay, keep up the great work!!
Thanks for reading it. I appreciate that my man.
Ready to purchase? Hmmm… I am hoping very soon, I’ve been procrastinating my ass off with this one too much.
No problem Jay.
Sounds good, looking forward to it!
I will be checking back in to see when it is ready.
Thanks!
John
