Here is the article Brian Carrol put on dh if you havn't read it.http://www.dangerouslyhardcore.com/4049/how-to-squat/give me your thoughts on this.I'm going to take the percentages from this workout and apply them to the bench press and deadlift also. should I just do this workout for a few weeks or change it every week?Here is an idea I've been throwing around in my head. The numbers he gave is pretty much where im currently at. For the main lifts I would like to add 10 to 15 pounds every week and do 1 less rep for each set. so sets of 5 the first week with 365 and then sets of 4 the next week with 385 for example. I'd like to try this until I get down to just 2 reps each set and then im going to try and work my way back up to 5 reps without changing the weight. so I might end up doing 405 for 2 reps and then 3 reps with 405 until I get to the week with 5 reps.thoughts and suggestions please? maybe a deload week before I start working my way back up? unless doing things this way just makes no sense whatsoever im probably going to try it anyway.
It's unlikely you'd be able to progress that quickly. You'll have off weeks and sometimes you'll have good weeks where you can push it. With the program you laid out I imagine it would look like thisWeek 1 365x5Week 2 375x4Week 3 385x3Week 4 395x2Week 5 405x1Week 6 405x2Week 7 405x3Week 8 405x4Week 9 405x5Assuming all of these numbers are your rep maxes, this adds 40lbs to your 5 rep max in 9 weeks. That's a huge jump. I'd do something slower.
