My New Workout Program

Posted: March 11, 2019 in Workout Reports

Theory:

  • Deadlift, squat, and press variation each day, plus one support exercise. Two heavy primary lifts, two lesser intensity.
  • 8×3 sets are composed of 3-4 heavy working sets, the rest acclimating sets.
  • On the 3×6, do one preliminary warm-up if necessary, then jump to working weight, moderating as needed for challenging sets. These take place in the second half of the workout, so everything should be warm and moving freely.
