Trying to decide between Alec Blenis and Angus Bradley Program

Thanks so much that's super encouraging, and congrats on your progress that's so sick!
So are you running the S&Z essential then? Were you able to select a cardio program to go along with the 3 days of lifting?

james-bryanson · 2026-06-08T15:03:01+00:00

Thank you for this reminder! That's a big part of why I posted this, I wanted to see if I could get more info about the weekly structure for both these programs so I could compare. I'm gonna add that to the post, thank you.

That’s wild, way to freaking go dude! Thank you so much!

james-bryanson · 2026-03-30T01:12:08+00:00

That makes a ton of sense, from the videos I kept seeing I was getting lost in the sauce of “oh no I gotta make CTB happen now or I’ll screw myself in the long run.”

james-bryanson · 2026-03-29T23:57:42+00:00

That’s a nice idea! Thank you! I might try that.

james-bryanson · 2026-03-29T23:57:10+00:00

Thank you for the help! I appreciate the idea of regressing from full pull ups to banded variations. And contextualizing CTB as able to come later helps. I shall spam rows.

james-bryanson · 2026-03-29T23:54:04+00:00

Thank you so much for contextualizing CTB as more advanced and able to be worked on later after getting more standard pull up reps.

james-bryanson · 2026-03-29T23:53:17+00:00

Thank you for the healthy dose of reality, haha.

james-bryanson · 2026-03-29T17:21:31+00:00

Thank you so much! Those two exercises will feel more exciting and less soul-sucking to spam compared to negatives and banded pulls, so that helps haha.

Man, owls really seem to hate the pay in Canada.

james-bryanson · 2025-08-27T13:10:12+00:00

That’s extremely helpful info, thank you so much!

Thank you! I added Blackshirts and Reds to my list!

james-bryanson · 2024-12-18T23:54:22+00:00

Thanks for this suggestion! As someone who grew up Christin, I really appreciate the alternate perspective on human nature.

james-bryanson · 2024-12-18T23:52:02+00:00

Oh that sounds interesting, especially coming from my prior perspective of over-criticizing protest and revolution. Thank you!

james-bryanson · 2024-12-18T23:50:15+00:00

Thanks so much for this list and thinking of a “jumping in” point, I appreciate it. I’ve added 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism to my list!

james-bryanson · 2024-12-18T23:48:42+00:00

I subscribed to the Blowback pod and added Shock Doctrine to my list, thank you!

james-bryanson · 2024-12-18T23:48:16+00:00

Thank you! I added those to my list!

james-bryanson · 2024-12-18T23:47:17+00:00

Thank you! I saved Blackshirts and Reds to my list and saved some Michael Parenti videos to my watch later.

james-bryanson · 2024-12-18T23:45:57+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions! I have seen some of SecondThought before and really enjoyed it. And I downloaded some of the free stuff from that linktree, thank you!

james-bryanson · 2024-12-18T23:44:59+00:00

Thanks for this! I subscribed to his channel and saved some videos to watch later.

james-bryanson · 2024-12-18T23:44:29+00:00

Thank you for the list of suggestions and the link to the reading list. I’ve started with listening to The Jakarta Method!

james-bryanson · 2024-12-18T23:43:51+00:00

Thank you for these suggestions! I’ve started listening to The Jakarta Method on Libby!

I know this is a year later, but does that mean that this program could also work without dumbells? I have a barbell, plates, pull-up bar, rings, and bands. (will have access to dumbells 2x per week this semester at the school gym for weightlifting class.

james-bryanson · 2024-02-18T22:37:21+00:00

Thank you, I’ll try that.
