5*5 then 3*3

[thex95]

What do people think about this regime of sets reps......, instead of just doing the traditional 5*5, what if after the 5*5 you went to 3*3 with heavier weight.

For example my deadlifts I go;

Warmups
8*135
6* 185
5*225
5*245

Working set

5*255
5*255
5*255
5*255
5*255
3*285
3*285
3*285

Thoughts?

It seems like a bit of overkill to me to be honest. I'd personally keep warm ups to 1-2 light sets with 10-15 range then working sets 4-5 with maybe a 5,5,5,3,3 count.

140 x6
180 x6
200 x4
220 x4
240 x4-6 (depending on how i feel on the session, i make this my development set and pound out the reps)

man, i once had a max of 150kg's, im now a national record holder

takes time, keep pegging away at it

def dont train deads in so many reps though mate, it aint a prolonged rep intensive exercise, try following my pyramid plan for a bit and adding 2.5kg every 2wks to the set

Right on man ill for sure give it a shot

And oh, only dead every 2wks or you go stale in no time! And keep squats at the opposite end of the training week
