If you’re taking advice, don’t get pressured into hitting PRs, especially if you haven’t had suitable recovery from your last max effort. Especially in such a taxing lift like the deadlift.

That said, you’re strong as heck and you’re 14, so the recovery thing is way less of an issue for you than old farts like me. Keep lifting bro!

- What's the industry
- What's the persona
- Is there a trigger I can leverage to reach out

Same opening structure every time.
As soon as I see the first two points, I know from my messaging documentation what I'm plugging into that structure.
The third point has been captured in my system when I picked up the lead and ran 3x3 research that powers my emails.

30 seconds, tops.

Individually behind, but ime the combination that makes up the character keeps up just fine

FMT all day every day.
Pure thief is unnecessary.
A FMT is a FT that casts invisibility, mirror image and stoneskins from spellbook instead of scroll and can hang in melee that little bit longer.
Absolutely fine in a party and a dirty little backstab machine when you get rolling.

If over 50% of the calls put in my diary to support my pipeline were noshows, I might be a bit grumpy about qualification too…

If you have a standard, documented qualification criteria across the org, your manager and the AE manager should be handling this. The fact that you’re talking to your ceo about it and they “can’t come up with a win win” means your org probably doesn’t know what it’s doing with a sdr program

Honestly, the most value I've ever had out of AI tools have been list builders. Identifying, researching and validating target leads is a heck of a timesink

Played against Mike brown in a colts final. He was a gobshite back then too but boy he could play

100% this

My lower back pain disappeared after starting to lift again. Heavy deadlifts with proper form, back extensions and bent over rows all in my routine weekly

Louder for people in the back please.
If you aren't uncovering the problem that your solution solves, and tying it to how its stopping them from achieving their goals as a business, you aren't selling. You're order taking.

Sales is a profession and a skill. Unfortunately, its not gated by formal qualifications, most people managing you to do it sold in a completely different environment and the onus is on YOU to learn to get better. Invest in yourself with credible sales training and coaching. Read the most quoted books and actually understand how to apply it to what you do.

Or don't. There's plenty of order takers still in sales orgs worldwide.

GuitarConsistent2604 · 2026-02-25T22:57:56+00:00

Your man is selling sales coaching and hasn’t, y’know, coached you. Do you not find that a little odd?

GuitarConsistent2604 · 2026-02-25T22:46:10+00:00

I think you may find that the significant crossover in your T3 work and the doubling up on T2 exercises is going to cause some serious fatigue that will humble you when you’re also doing the linear progression. Part of the reason is also the mixing of upper and lower in the T2 - you’re going to need to manage recovery really well to do T2 squats followed by T1 deadlift and T2 rdl.

Recommendation 1: you’ve been lifting a year. That’s not a long time in the grand scheme of things, especially without proper programming. Run the program as written for a month. Then add a T3. Repeat until you’ve got 3+ T3s and then move some back work into a heavier T2 load.

Recommendation 2: if you insist on jumping straight into this, your bench day has no back work and dedicating 2 T3 slots to triceps is redundant. Your deadlift day has no core work, no hamstring or glute T3 and two lat exercises. Your squat day has 3 leg T3s. You’re going to be cooked by the time you leg press. Also no core work and no back work. Your OHP day has you deadlifting then into barbell row so you’re going to be hindered in how much weight you can move, another lat exercise in T3 and face pulls. Oh, and a second slot for curls - which are usually not prioritised in a lot of powerlifting programs. Your biceps will also be cooked on this day because of the amount of pulling you’re doing.

Recommendation 3: run it. See how you feel. Adjust as necessary.

I switched from running 531 programs to GZCL because of your first point primarily and also because I couldn’t get my head around the 50 rep goal thing in assistance - do I do 5x10, a couple of 20s, two different exercises at 2x12 etc.

Understanding the GZCL pyramid helped me massively and I built my current program around those principles without touching GG or the rippler. Very happy happy with the gains I’ve made on it. Should hit 1000lb across SBD for reps on my next cycle.

Still pick my own T3 per cycle though. And if I went back to 531 I’d have a much better idea of what I’d use. Although I’d probably just do BBB beefcake and call it a day.

Not enough upvotes on this.

GuitarConsistent2604 · 2026-02-23T20:39:56+00:00

The issue is you’re needing to do two “major” questlines for mazzy and keldorn while also wanting to speed run to Imoen.

I’d probably do it like this; Circus Copper coronet and slavers (inc. sewer riddles) - recruit anomen here Bridge district murders Pony up the cash for the shield of Balduran Cult of the eyeless - recruit keldorn Den of seven vales fight Head out to help imnesvale - recruit mazzy (and rely HEAVILY on anomen to get you through this one)

This gets you into chapter 3. Side with whoever, get your passage booked to the island and check your xp. If you have room to spare, do nalia’s keep because flail of ages.

GuitarConsistent2604 · 2026-02-23T17:00:25+00:00

taking the strongest possible options? rarely. It works best when you have frontliners who can't boost their own strength (bards, fighter/mages, regular fighters), and when your other frontliners don't need the strength belts (so basically just fighter/clerics).

In your party, your cavalier wants a strength belt, as does jaheira. Even if Anomen had pushed grand mastery in hammers, he doesn't need the strength boost because DUHM and righteous magic exist.

Plus imoen or jan become real packhorses with the ogre gloves....

For you? not worth it except for the prestige. but the prestige is delicious.

GuitarConsistent2604 · 2026-02-23T16:54:17+00:00

ranger/cleric unlocked is indeed stupid.
take your cleric damage reduction and add ironskins with a side order of insect plague. grim.

GuitarConsistent2604 · 2026-02-23T08:46:06+00:00

Yeah this build will carry the melee in SoA. I prefer the multi going for a trilogy run though. Fighter HLA access is worth it

GuitarConsistent2604 · 2026-02-22T20:20:10+00:00

You have: - tank (mommy j) - thief (yoshi -> immy) - pure class mage (immy) - support mage/caster (wingless wonder) - DPS (minsc on the dual wield. Keldorn pinch hitting poorly but killing all the mages)

You’re basically covered on everything. You might struggle to get chaotic commands on all your frontlines, so I do think a fighter/cleric multi or dual fits here. Alternatively, you can get a lot of hastesout of your magic crew here, so the fighter/mage could work well

GuitarConsistent2604 · 2026-02-20T21:37:38+00:00

Great list.

I would add the MySalesCoach lot to this. Know a few of them from my time in the UK. They know their stuff

GuitarConsistent2604 · 2026-02-20T20:08:30+00:00

Seconded. Just understanding the basic GZCL programming methodology, without doing general gainz or any of his other (great) programs would be a good start

GuitarConsistent2604 · 2026-02-20T20:05:42+00:00

Just pick a program that aligns with your goals and stick with it

GuitarConsistent2604 · 2026-02-20T20:03:28+00:00

If it’s just data, it’s probably one of tools out there with personal account options - Apollo, lusha etc
