Sounds good Matthew.


I train linear periodized progressive overload type training, right now designed to peak for a Powerlifting meet on June 14th.

Here's my basic Split:

Sunday: Squat
-Back Squats
-Accessory lifts for back and triceps - right now it is Bent-over rows and rope pushdowns

Tuesday: Speed Bench
-Speed Bench Press using band tension - 3 bands right now
-Close Grip Board Press with 2 boards
-Not much additional accessory work on these days - hammer curls, abs maybe(on tues or wed), sometimes more triceps work

Wednesday: Deadlift(yeah!)
-Deadlift
-Speed Squats with no band tension
-Accessory lift for back - neutral grip seated rows right now
-Sometimes ab work is done - Side Bends, situps

Saturday: Bench Press
-Bench Press
-Normal Grip Board Press with 3 boards
-Accessory work for back - neutral grip lat pulldowns now


The main lifts are mainstays in my training program, accessory work changes when I feel like it is getting stale, or want to try something new.

The main lifts progress in a cycle something like this(sets x reps):

4x6 for 3 weeks
3x6 for 3 weeks
4x4 for 1 week
3x4 for 1 week
3x2 for 1 week
2x2 for 1 week EDIT: that's one week
Rest week
Peak for comp

This is an example for a 10 week cycle, accessory lifts start off hard, so push the accessory work in the beginning of the cycle while the weights for the power lifts are light, and cut out accessory work closer to the competition.
