I plan on doing the following workout for 4 weeks during my chirstmas break to get my main lifts up. I’m trying to gain strength because I plan on starting a explosive/power routine in february. Thus, I want this little cycle to focus on strength while my next cycle focues on power/explosion. The entire purpose of both of these cycles is to increase my vertical jump/explosiveness. Here it is:
Day 1:
Bench 5x5
Squat 3x8
Cleans 3x5
Rows 3x8
Day 2:
Squat 5x5
Push Press 3x3
Bench 3x12
pull-ups 2xmax
Day 3
Cleans 5x3
Bench 3x8
Squat 3x12
Rows 3x8
Day 4-- light day
Bench 8x3 with 60% max
Squat 8x3 with 60% max
Push Press 3x5 with 60% max
I was just wondering what you thought? I wanna stay away from assistance exercises and focus on the main exercises that require the most muscle groups. Thanks.
