My goal is to get strong as hell :), how would this basic training template work?
Whats the purpose of the back off set? It may make more sense to work up to a heavy 3RM, then do two or three singles after that with 90% of what you worked up to. Do this on both the squat and bench press day, if you want. The other thing, why are you mixing Max deadlifts and dynamic squats?
I have read that mixing regimes of work can mix up your system. Personally, I don’t like to mix max and dynamic work because I am to taxed after the max work to maintain speed on the dynamic work. Those are just a few thoughts I had…
I 2nd that. just keep your MaxS stuff on one day and the dynamic stuff on the other. for upper and lower body
Welcome to T-Nation. If your routine is “power based” like you tell us, where are the power cleans? BTW, power and strength are two different things.
Sorry, I meant to say Strength based…besides separating the speed work, does everything else look good?
if u were to seperate the str work and speed work as u have it now u realize on speed upper and lower day u’d be doing 1 exercise each.
