My training for the next few weeks will be set up like this:
week 1 - 4 sets
week 2 - 3 sets
week 3 - 5 sets
week 4 - 2 sets, and lots of PRs

The first two or three weeks my primary movements will be all heavy triples, the last week (maybe the last two weeks, I'll go by how I feel) will be a single, and hopefully a PR.


bench - friday
bench
floor press
pull up
NG seated row

squat - sat
squat
front squat
RDL

bench - mon
standing press
bs push up
chin up
bentover row

deadlift - wed
shallow deficit deadlift
rack pull
chest supported row




The last time I did a split like this, in the fourth week I made a good PR in the squat but not in the deadlift. I'm considering only pulling the first three weeks, and then not the fourth week. If I'm making progress in the accessory lifts, I shouldn't really need to test my max every month. Again, I'll go by how I feel. I won't really know what I'm doing until that week comes around.
