Will be running TM for powerlifting from PPST3. This basically means Texas Method, but start light so you don't hit the wall three weeks before your meet. I will be hitting multiple singles across on Intensity Day from the off, which I'm looking forward to.
My set up is...
Thursday night:
- Squat 5x5 @ 70% of 1RM (starting at 160kg)
- Bench 5x5 @ 70% of 1RM (starting at 95kg with a close grip)
- Stiff Leg Deadlift 5x2 @ 70% of 1RM (starting at 150kg as I haven't done these before)
Saturday:
- Light squat 5x2 @ 80% of Thursday
- Press 5 x3
- Banded chins - starting at 20 total reps and adding a rep each week (I can't chin for shit, so I use a band rather than a jump to do fat boy assisted chins)
Monday night:
- Squat 1 x 5 @ 90% of 1RM (starting at 205kg)
- Paused Bench Press 1 x 5 @ 90% of 1RM (starting at 120kg)
- Deadlift 1 x 3 @ 90% of 1RM (starting at 210kg)
I've set out every session before my meet. 25 training sessions and then go 9/9 at the meet and I'll have 1400 in the bag. All I need to do is hit every rep with no slip ups between now and then.. Easy, right..?
Here's the plan:
