Can anybody recommend a good allround powerlifting workout?
« on: March 15, 2010, 02:37:08 PM »
Atm I bench press twice a week squat once and deadlift once
all other exercise are around getting me as strong as possible, quite a change from my usual BB workout.
Saturday Sunday are all about maxing it out.
So far I don't feel overtrained but atm all is a little bit crazy and i would need some form of a plan.

I would like to up my bench squat and deadlift of course - work on gripping power (years of using straps have left me with a kitty grip)

For cardio and stamina I push my car atm, and let me tell you it fucking kills me every time.

Have you tried Wendler's 531? it's a nice mellow workout that fits most folks well. You can get some idea of it here- http://www.irongarmx.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=199997&hilit=kroc+531 .

Read through the whole thread, as lots of thoughts are broken up amongst the posts.

Ok, here it goes:

1)You take your 3-4 basic power lifts(dead, bench, squat, and C/J or Military press) and do one major lift a training day. After you do the major lift, you do some moderate volume accesory work. Generally you want to go lower body, upper body, lower body, etc.......



First week

1 set x 5 reps @ 65% of 1 rep max.
1 set x 5 reps @ 75%
1 x as many as you can do @ 85%

Assistance work.

2nd week

70% x 1 set x 3 reps

80% for 1 x 3

90% for 1 x  3.

Accessory work

Week 3

5 reps x 1 set at 75%

3 reps x 1 set at 85%

1 rep at 95%
 
Accessory work

Week 4 deload

5 x 5 in the 40-60% range.


After the main lifts, just do some of the of the accessory lifts for 3 sets of 8-10., you know standard bodybuilding stuff. Just make sure that they fit, like dips and dumbbell inclines after major pressing, etc... Rows and chins after deadlifting, etc....

After a month cycle add 10 pounds to the big lower body lifts, 5 to the upper bodylifts.

Also when I say 1 rep max, be conservative, It should be a a good tough rep, but not a gut buster, maybe start 5-10% below your true absolute one rep max.

Conditioning work work you can fit in where you like.

EXCELLENT thanks a lot guys - I also bought the book 5/3/1 I could have probably rapid shared it but I dont feel like ripping the guy off.
Great read actually the first ebook i bought :P

Thanks for the explanation I will be busy working out my new plan - one thing he says is that you HAVE to stick to it and not fall into temptation of going nuts one day, also the small increase and light weight start is going to be hard.

Thanks guys,


Its great I am again very motivated for a couple of month now and not only go to the gym to do my workout but to also have a lot of fun

You shouldn't be maxing out every week.  Simplest way to make some gains quickly is to rotate between light/moderate/heavy weeks and focus 75% of your training on the big three lifts (and only other exercises that contribute to the big three) and the other 25% on core strength, speed, and GPP.  You have to lift light to lift heavy.
