Christian,
When planning a 3 day routine using 5x5 double progression, would you suggest picking three separate lifts (workouts A,B,C) or alternating days (A,B,A-B,A,B)?
ex1.
Squat/Bench
Deadlift/Press
Front Squat/Incline Press
ex2.
week 1
Squat/Bench
Deadlift/Press
Squat/Bench
week 2
Deadlift/Press
Squat/Bench
Deadlift/Press
Thank you for your time

Option 2 is much better
Thank you! Do you find straight sets to work for deadlift/powerclean also when the goal is strength?

Yes but for the power clean I prefer sets of 3
I have one last question if you have the time. I can only lift three days a week due to school and martial arts (not-competitive) and I was wondering if the above is good or if there is anything major you would change.
I appreciate your patience and help.
