New Strength Program After Break

Took a break from training for a while. I made a routine to get back into it, any tips to make it better?

Monday:
High Bar Squat - 10x3

Wednesday:
Paused Bench Press - 10x3
Weighted Ring Pull-up - 8x3

Friday:
Deadlift - 8x3
Press - 3x8-15

I’m not quite sure where you’re going with this. The split and exercise selection looks like a low volume strength program but the you throw in 10x3 which is for hypertrophy… So what exactly is it you’re looking for?

I actually quite like the look of the program, nighthawkz i may have read it wrong but I thought the 10x3 program was for both strength and hypertrophy ?

If you put up a training log let me know as I would be interested to see your progress and results :slight_smile:

What are the goals?

Looks fine in general. I’d add a horizontal pulling movement to maintain a good push/pull ratio. DB Rows on Squat days would be my choice.

10x3 should work nicely for strength and hypertrophy. Just make sure you have an intelligent progression method. That said, overall volume is low, so I’m guessing strength is the main goal?

10x3 as 10 sets of 3 reps. For the most part, I would think that is mostly strength due to the lower reps.

I’ll think about logging my progress or at least the results.

Alright, I was thinking about adding some face pulls since my lats would probably be wrecked from pullups and deadlifts.

Strength is the main goal and when I stall, I plan to start doing weekly cycles with the lifts.

xagunos, where are you going to be starting from in relationship from your 1 rep max /3 rep max out of interest ? Also what progression scheme are you going to use ie are you going to add a rep until doing 10x4 then up the weight or up the weight each week etc ?

I don’t think your lats would be too shot for the rows but face pulls are awesome as well.

Good luck with the program and keep us posted.
