Been stuck around these numbers for 5-6 months. Current programming is the Hepburn method cycling triples from 4 sets to 8 sets on Squat/Press/Bench with DL cycling 3 to 5 sets. Setup is a Squat/Press day, off-day, Bench/Deadlift day, followed by 2 days off then repeating. Active duty Air Force so PT Wed/Fri which consists of an annoyingly long run on Wed followed by equally annoying random hopping around on Fri contributing nothing but a little sweat and sore joints.
The struggle recovering from this volume has me thinking an HLM template would be better than my current program, the Texas Method or Jordan's programs. I've read Andy's stuff and although it's helped me understand the methodology behind HLM, finding the right template has my head spinning. Goal is the standard 300/400/500. How should I set up my programming?
