*all exercises 6 sets of 5/5/5/5/3/8

Each day has some assistance workouts but the main focus is on these three compound lifts. The sets are interval progressions of 12.5 % and every week you use your 3RM on Friday's set as your new 5RM for your 5th set on Monday and throughout the week and the cycle continues. This is a simple but effective workout for putting on serious mass and strength quickly, let me know your thoughts / suggestions.
