KORTE's 3x3 training routine

[S.L.A.P.]

This is the most non-pussy workout plan ever !!

The idea is to do the 3 most basic exercises (SQ,BP,DL) 3 times a week with 58-62% of your 1RM. 5-8 sets of 5 reps of squats and deadlifts, 6-8 sets of 6 reps of benchpress. You can do 1-2 additional exercise per training, but it's not neccessary.

Has any1 of you tried this ? I gained 3kgs in 4 weeks using only protein and carbohydrate supplements and eating loooaaads of food. For me, it's the best routine I ever tried. I repeat, this is not for pussies :wink:

I can post my complete plan if you want me to.

[Steve]

Whoa, 3 kgs by eating a lot of food!? Remarkable!

[thereid]

Why are you so adament about conveying that this workout is not for pussies?

3x3 is not the same as 5-8x5 idiot.

[S.L.A.P.]

3x3 is not the same as 5-8x5 idiot.

3 basic exercises 3 times a week. So whooz the idiot ? :wink:

Why are you so adament about conveying that this workout is not for pussies?

Cause pussies do splits like "training six times a week and doing all types of useless exercises and not training more than one body part at a time". Deep squats are not for pussies. Deadlifts are not for pussies

Whoa, 3 kgs by eating a lot of food!? Remarkable!

We talkin'bout muss with minimum fat here

Anyways, this was just a tip for something new if haven't heard of it. If you don't like, don't try it :shocked:

"58-62% of your 1RM" doesn't sound too hardcore.

SS, Bill starr's power routine, WFSB, Madcow 5x5?

They're also templates not for "pussies".

Haha, yeah because bodybuilders are bitches!

Am I right guys...!?!

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

xD haha!

3 basic exercises 3 times a week. So

ahh my bad, 3 BASIC exercises 3 times a week, sounds everything is a bit too basic for me
so tell us how far you get when you hit a point and it stops working.
the idea of splits is to work each muscle group, optimizing each section of your body.
in slovakia do you use tree branches and stones for a bench press?

[Honken]

Who's KORTE?

[.kiz]

although i suppose i was harsh, trust me you would have gotten a nicer reply if you didnt go round with the @this exercise aint for pussys@ routine

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Around here and pretty much any other creditable forum, we use _x_ as a volume indicator. Don't piss me off again :ogre:

And people around here don't appreciate when people say so and so is pussy or non-pussy without actual proof.

y34h,h3 getting teh microcycle & teh setz, repz & wurklowdz mikztup. LAL

[Honken]

So he's basically famous for writing one article? He is obviously not for pussies.

I think the pussies are the ones that don't train at all. People that train for athletic performance using machines and a lot of benching have good intentions, they are just ignorant.

ekzakly

[paulSA]

lol, the Bill Star routine im following destroys this ''korte's'' routine....anyway, whatever works for you mate

[flexibility]

58-62% of your 1rm is for girly men. I bet you can do better. And number x number usually means sets x reps.

i wrote a story once

NOW I'M COOL TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Honken]

Can't believe that I get to live with Mr. Awesome for a week! Dutchland über alles! No wait...

[The Laughing Man]

It's a decent basic beginners program I think, haven't had much of a look at it really though. A very strong powerlifter I train with got started doing that for a couple of months.

Exactly

HA! IM MR AWSOME!!!!!!

[S.L.A.P.]

58-62% may not sound hardcore, but trust me, it is.

I have tried many split routines and they're far less effective than this one.

u don't have to try it tho

..:wink:

[S.L.A.P.]

btw it was not me who made up "3x3" thing

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Haha,we figured. That's why this "KORTE" sounds foolish.

[Kitosho]

wow low volume heavy weight what a revolutionary way to train

[Ewasiuk]

btw it was not me who made up "3x3" thing

Okay then whoever wrote that is an idiot haha.

[anfeyd]

Christ people stop bashing it and making fun of the name. The guy who wrote it is probably 10x more muss than any of you will ever be. How about you try it before you start saying all of this? Kitosho has the only valid post.

[-Envy-]

HEY GUYS! I just found the most HARDCORE site on getting muss!!!! You can read all about muss development right here:

Because after years of reading your's, chic's, and complek's posts about how _x_ or _x_x_ indicates volumes, there's no turning back :ogre:

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Yeah,why so serious?:tongue:

[S.L.A.P.]

btw my bench 1RM before korte was 95kg

I haven't been benchpressin since i finished this routine (4weeks?). I just tried to hit my max last sunday, and I benched 105kg (almost hit 110). I was surprised...

my point is - I LOVE KORTE :tongue:
