This is my basic routine. Nothing fancy like before, just old school power based. Got this from Ed Coan, the greatest powerlifter of all time. The following table is just the working sets of the main lift.
Week 1- 2 sets of 10 reps * 50%
Week 2- 2 sets of 10 reps * add 5-10 lbs
Week 3- 2 sets of 8 reps ** 60%
Week 4 – 2 sets of 8 reps** add 5-10 lbs.
Week 5- 2 sets of 5 reps ** add 5-10 lbs.
Week 6- 2 sets of 5 reps *** add 5-10 lbs.
Week 7- 2 sets of 3 reps *** 70%
Week 8 – 2 sets of 3 reps ***
Week 9 – 2 sets of 3 reps ***
Week 10 – 2 sets of 2 reps *** 80%
Week 11- 2 sets of 2 reps ****
Week 12- 2 sets of 2 reps ****
Week 13- 1 sets of 1 rep*** 85-90%
Week 14- 1 set of 1 rep *****
the * is relative to squat gear as this was for the squat day. The percentages are just as a semi reference. The basic idea is week 1 of 2 sets of 10 should be a weight you can definitely get with some struggle where as week 2 should be a very difficult weight. These are only work sets before those you warm up with 5-7 sets.
Mon= squat training
tues= off
wed= heavy bench day
thurs= deadlift training
fri= off
sat= press behind neck and shoulder day
sun= light benching and chest and tris and bi's
Let me clarify by saying I made up the percentages off the top my head. I know what weight to use and use it, and just throw some numbers for reference.
