Compound Corruption is a program designed to improve overall strength by increasing your four main compound lifts: Squat, Deadlift, Bench Press, and Standing Overhead Press. Each muscle group is worked three times a week in order to target all primary and synergistic muscles of these compound movements which will eliminate weakness, surpass plateaus, and fix muscular asymmetries.

This program has you weekly test your 1 rep maxes of the four main compound lifts to ensure you are getting stronger and if necessary, to adjust your assistance work if weakness is to be found. For example: When you first started this program, the lower half movement (lifting the bar off the ground) of your deadlift was your weak point, therefore on Friday you were doing deadlift deficits to eliminate your weakness. Now, say three weeks in, the upper half movement (locking out) of your deadlift is struggling, you would adjust your Friday’s assistance work to rack pulls to eliminate the new weak point.

This program is a mix of strength and hypertrophy, compound and isolation movements, and assistance work.

Since we are working each muscle group three times a week, the volume of exercises for each muscle group changes per day. For example: Monday, there are three leg exercises while Wednesday there are only two. The reasoning behind this set up is to train for optimal strength while not overtraining and avoiding injury.

Compound Corruption is a six week program where you should be tracking your progress and watching yourself increase weight on your compound lifts weekly. As you see yourself gain strength, the hypertrophy and assistance work will also have you gain a lot of overall muscle size. Daily core work will contribute to your overall strength in lifts and tend to your aesthetics.

Below you can see each individual workout for the week, broken down to the exercises, the reps & sets, the tempo and the rest intervals between sets!

Haha, that was a great ending!  I've never done this on someone else's YouTube channel before, but since this is a shoulder video, my video today was on how to prevent shoulder instability and maintain healthy shoulders.  If anyone's interested, feel free to watch it here https://youtu.be/SJ_6efW6B_k

Scott, my right elbow begins feeling like it is going to collapse and there is some pain, when I'm at starting position on overhead press. I'm pretty sure my form is correct. Why is this? Am I trying to lift too much weight? I can perform the full ROM, it just occurs when I return to starting position.

I might be wrong but if that was 135lbs, I think it's awesome that you guys can press it and talk unhindered.

"The Push-Press will allow you to lift more weight and what this is gonna do is help prepare your Central Nervous System to be able to handle more weight"
Is this legit or just bro science?

Hi Scott! Big fan of all your helpful videos.

I've been working out with a buddy the past few months (maybe 6), and have made tremendous improvement (I used to be very overweight but down to a good weight nowadays but want to convert fat to muscle, not necessarily lose anymore).

Since we've been working out together, I bench about 70lbs more than I did when we first began. I'm very hard on myself but there are some days when I can definitely tell physically that my body is changing. Other days, not so much. Is this normal? Or should I be seeing much better results than I am? Maybe another factor plays into it?

Any help would be muuuuuch appreciated 🙂

Great video Guys! When I OHP my right side mid back always tenses up more, so my right mid back is thicker than my left mid back. I've tried to consciously engage the left side especially when I'm feeling fatigued but I still feel my right side is engaged more after the set. Any tweaks to the OHP to solve this or is there a mid back exercise that can target just one side?

scott i have a strength related question. i'm a newbie. been lifting for about 7 months and eating 200-300 calories below my daily requirement. i've been losing a lot of weight and finally starting to see some definition in my abs.
but my strength is going up VERY slowly and in the past couple of months, i'm seeing no improvements in my lifts…
is it because of all the weight loss and being in a caloric deficit or have i hit a strength plateau?
please help.

David March 31, 2015 - 4:50 pm

Hey Scott my body fat is currently at around 13 14 percent and I do have quite a bit of muscle on my upper and lower body and I do want to lose enough weight to have a six pack but I'm scared that if I lower my body fat by more than 5 percent I will lose pretty much all of my muscle, would you recommend to do cardio and consume less calories or just do one of them?
Thanks

Great videos guys, do you know any good ways to help strengthen and straighten my lower back. I have a natural curve/bend which makes doing any lower back exercises hard. Much respect

I really need to strengten my shoulder before starting with OHP. I tried it last week with just the barbell I quit after the third set(reps 12,10, barely 6). What do you guys reccomend for training my shoulders?

My workout at the moment:
Side raises(with elastic band or cable machine)
Front raises(with elastic band or cable machine)
Arnold press
Reverse fly's
Shrugs to failure to finnish my workout.

Awesome vid Scott! Had a question about deadlifts though.  I've been doing barbell deadlifts at the gym. But the other day at work, I had the opportunity to dead lift with a hex bar, and it felt so much better.  For the first time it felt as if I was performing the deadlift correctly (no back pain).  What are your thoughts and experiences with performing the deadlift using the hex-bar vs. the barbell?  Im thinking of making the switch.

It's becoming more and more common and popular I think for powerlifting and strength exercises taking over bodybuilding. Really considering switching to strength training soon and giving it a go. I love bodybuilding though, but a little change never hurt no one 🙂

I really like the program I just wish it had % of 1rm to use for the main lifts. like if it says 10 reps, do we just do as much weight as we can to hit 10 reps?

what do you think about lowering the weight but adding 2 chains on the side of the bar and repping 5×5?
