No, 15 (roughly). For ex, I’ll do 5 sets of bench press, 4 sets of inclines, then 5 sets of flys (cable). Since I don’t go to failure, I do more volume.
In about 6 weeks, I’ll switch to this, then back:
Day 1:
Barbell back squat, 5 sets of 5 repetitions, rest 90 seconds
Keg clean and press, 5 sets of 5 repetitions, rest 90 seconds
Good mornings, 4 sets of 10 repetitions, rest 60 seconds
Chin-ups, 4 sets of 10 repetitions, rest 60 seconds
Keg bear hug carry, 2 minutes for 2 sets, rest 120 seconds
Day 2:
Bench press, 6, 6, 4, 4, 2, rest 90 seconds
Sandbag snatch, 15 repetitions, rest 60 seconds
Step-ups, 3 sets of 12 each leg, rest 60 seconds
Zercher squats, 4 sets of 6 repetitions, rest 90 seconds
Farmer?s walk, 2 sets of 90 seconds, rest 120 seconds
Day 3:
Deadlift, 3 sets of 6 repetitions, rest 90 seconds
Keg shouldering, 3 sets of 5 repetitions each side, rest 90 seconds
Towel/rope chin-ups, 4 sets of 6 repetitions, rest 90 seconds
Sandbag shoulder get-ups, 3 sets of 6 each side, rest 90 seconds
Carrying medley, 1 set: sandbag Zercher, carry 50 yards; keg shoulder, 50 yards; barbell overhead walk, 50 yards
Training to failure year round is just not for me.
