« on: October 09, 2012, 05:09:30 am »Just having a look at the KB's ultimate split. Has anyone had any experience with it?
Looks like it's an interesting program and I'm thinking about giving it a shot.
I did it for 5-6 months, had great strength and vert gains with it. Unfortunately i did it the year before joining adarq.org so it's not journaled.
I did the standard version of it , did not customize it at all:

You don't need to stick with the dates, you can do the workouts every 3 days instead of 2 , or leave a couple of days rest when feeling beat up.
But it's laid out perfectly there, should serve you very well.
Make sure to study well kelly's articles about it , he covers anything you need to know:
