I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions to any new programs that are out there, and focused on Hypertrophy. I have not lifted in a while due to not having access to a gym, but I have been doing bodyweight things as well as kung fu and football. I am looking to add some size, before I do a cutting cycle, since it always seems like I'm trying to cut, and I don't really feel like designing my own program at the moment, although I probably will have to change some exercises (since I don't have any machines or pulleys).
Anyway I was looking at the Waterbury Method, and was wonderinf if anyone had any comments about it or another program.
I liked doing the Hyper routines in New Rules of lifting. I also enjoyed Men's Health Power Training. And I have never done it but Waterbury's TBT gets good reviews also.

You might want to checkout the articles from the Beverly International website. I work with a trainer that specializes in natural body building and he swears by their routines as well as their nutrition plans. I've done some modified versions of some of the nutrition plans with great results.
Keith, you damn well know enough to be able to judge what's gonna make you grow - more so than any cookie cutter program.

I guess you're right though...Was just kind of wondering if anything new and ground breaking had come out since I've been out of the loop for a while. Speaking of which, K how are you? ...Shoot me a PM soon.
Well, really, how many options do you have to choose from in designing your own?
Anything you'd get is a more or less arbitrary variation on a handful of themes. Anything "new" is just going to be somebody else's take on the old guidelines.
You could pretty well write down something basic as an outline and just fill in the blanks when you get to the gym. That'd work as well as anything.

Nothing groundbreaking Keith - other than I've found that having clients squat, DL, row, press, and pull work pretty well. Think I've got a book there!
