    Hi All,

    Just wanted to get your view on this early intermediate programming.

    Was thinking of doing the the following 3 day full body rotation.

    Week 1
    I squat+Bench 3x5 at 85% of 5RM
    II dead 2x5+press 3x5 at 85% of 5RM
    III squat+Bench 2x3 at 5RM

    Week 2
    I dead+press 2x3 at 5RM
    II Squat+Bench 3x5 at 85% + 5 lbs
    III Dead+prest 85% + 5 lbs

    Week 3
    I squat+Bench 2x3 at 5RM + 5 lbs
    II dead+press 2×3 at 5RM + 5 lbs
    III squat+Bench 3x5 at 85% + 5lbs

    I would alternate lower intensity 3x5 @ 85% increasing 5 lbs each time sessios with higher intensity progression as per below.

    High intensity sessions
    Workouts 1 -3
    2x3 adding 5lb after each session
    Workouts 4-5
    3×2 adding 5lb after each session
    Workouts 6-7
    5+1 adding 5lb after each session
    Workout 8, go for 1rm
    Deload, then start again with new recalculated weights.

    Thanks

    A little confused. So when you say: "III squat+Bench 2x3 at 5RM" Does that mean you are taking your 5RM and doing 2 sets of 3?

    Did you just come off of your novice LP?
