4x5 or 3x6?

[EternalStud]

Hey guys, training for strength during my cutter and wanna know which will cause better strength gains a 4x5 routine or 3x6? I say 3x6 because its more of a CNS stimulator and causes more myofibrillar hypertrophy than 4x6, though they are both great. But at the same time i understand volume isnt great for strength gains hence should I keep sets below 5?

Here my routine:


Mon: Legs
Tues: Chest, tris
Wed: Back, bis
Thurs: Legs
Fri: Chest, tris
Sat: Back, bis
Sun: OFF

5x5 is what alot of powerlifters do.

sometimes they do, but its more for a combination of mass AND strength. in a month i just want to be focusing on strength ONLY which is 3-4 reps sometimes 5. Im just having trouble picking out how much volume could either boost me forward or set me back

First if I were training for strength only I would have more of a power-lifter's split and not a bodybuilder's split. Second, where is your shoulder work? One power-lifter who I interned under never specifically had a chest day and upped his bench by upping his overhead pressing abilities. His article is published on the EliteFTS website.

Finally, if you don't seem to like anything I have said at all try a program called MaxOT. It worked wonders for me and you can find it online just Google it.

How would I change that from a bb to pl routine? I want all my muscles to be strengthened not just major compound lifts, hence why i have a bb routine.
