5x5 and 3x3... We've all heard this is the typical powerlifting routines. If I search google this Is about all I see, but I don't find in depth descriptions.
If I'm doing a 3day split, set around Bench/Deadlift/Squat. I've heard varied ideas behind strength training, should the workouts be at 80-85% of 1rm? Or does progressive training have a better effect? What exercises do you incorporate into these days?
I've done an example for chest days. Criticise please!
Chest:
Flat bench ---------------5x5 (100kg)
Incline dumbell press ---3x8 (40kg)
Dumbell flies ------------3x8 (16-20kg)
Decline cable flies ------ til failure, drop set.
Back:
Deadlift
T-bar rows
Shrugs
Low cable rows
Legs:
