    Default TM HML hybrid question

    Andy,

    After 14 weeks of LP, im ready for something more complex. I dont have time for a 2 hour volume session to do the 3 day TM and im hesitant to do the 4 dya TM bc i really like full body workouts (squat, press, pull all 3 days) and i like a 3 day workout week. So, i was planning on HLM but still doing the TM intensity day in place of the H day. For example:

    Heavy day
    squat 1x5 PR
    bench 1x5 PR
    DL 1x5 PR


    Light Day
    squat 3x5 (80%)
    press 1x5 PR, 2x5 (90%)
    power cleans 3x3


    medium day
    squat 3x5 (90%)
    bench 3x5 (90%)
    RDL 3x8


    Am i going to get enough total weekly volume by doing this? I know the intensity day is only 1 set, instead of 3 like LP so im worried im going to regress. Any thoughts?

    Thank you sir,

    Cole

    Make your heavy day heavier to start with. Like 3x3 instead of 1x5.
