Instructions:
1. Get the book . This calculator does not explain the
program or why you might make certain choices. The
book explains how to do the exercises properly, how
to choose your assistance work, how to progress
each month, and what to do if your progress stalls
and Wendler needs your cash for another tattoo.
2. Enter your current maximum lift numbers in the form
below.
3. Click the Calculate Program button.
4. Print this page.
5. Crank some Black Sabbath. Do not underestimate the
importance of this step.
6. Lift weights.
7. Get stronger.
