    Hi guys!I started doing shockwave recently and I love it. I was wondering, what would be a modification more suitable for hypertrophy and CBL? Too bad app is only available on apple... can someone please write up that routine or give some guidelines? Thanks!

    You should try Heavy Duty for CBL.  It's better for hypertrophy than shockwave.

    I tried it…But - I like that shockwave has deadlifts in it... And it seems to me always that back training day on HD for CBL lacks thickness excercises volume, rows etc... or am I wrong?Also lack of training partner for negatives is disadvantage as well...

    Volume doesn't always (=) size. The way Heavy Duty was designed was for gaining size. Standard shockwave is for strength gains. Mainly for those running low or ULC on SA or CN.

    You can do slow negatives by yourself if you don't have a spot. Also I would swap out DLs with squats every other week.

    Big Tex, which deadlifts you mean? Romanian deadlifts on CBL HD core day or…?

    Or just start the day with Deadlifts.Deadlift will add size to a beginner, but honestly they aren't the best movement for hypertrophy because in general they are done for lower reps. You can do high reps obviously, but at some point the cost:Benefit just isn't worth it.

    You can add it in there.  It's not like you have to do the exercises listed.

    Normal DLs, I would have to look at it again but I believe replacing the Squats on Leg Day wouldn't hurt. From what was said, it wouldn't add much size if you have been lifting so maybe doing a quick set of ELECT/PSR at the beginning then do your squats. Or what is best
