Something different: Training Feedback?

[LANDSCAPE1]

Im an ecto/thin meso Been lifting in the 5-7 range(getting strong w this) . . and liking it. I only lift 3xaw. . Was thinking going my usual 5/5/5 one week, then 5/3/1 the next (both weeks fullbody)


My thought process was the ''heavy" week would promote more strengh, for heavier weights on the 5/5/5 week.. to provide maximum growth
Haller back ?

Dont be stingy now . .

5/3/1 is great for strength and bulking up. so i would recomend giving that routine a try for 12-16 weeks. the problem a lot of people have with this routine though, is that most guys have some kind of attentiont defficit disorder and can't keep themself from doing extra accessorie lifts. so if you choose to go with 5/3/1, don't go adding a bunch of curls, tricep extensions, 3 different kinds of lat pulls, etc..... just stick to the program and lift heavy and you will grow and get a lot stronger.

So how many sets is max on a routine like above? I like to do a little iso lifts like calfs/curl/tri ext, but then next week ill do chinups etc for the curls/so its compound ..make sense?

-5/5/5 ? and 5/3/1 ?
-Thank u sir

on your main lifts (squat, deadlift, bench, and shoulder press), you have 3 working sets. then on your accessorie lifts you have 5 sets of 10-15 reps, and there are only 2 accessorie lifts per workout but they are compound movements, thus eliminating the need for isolation movements. if you're trying to bulk up in the off season then this would be the wayto go, then when you get closer to pre-contest training go back to a routine that has isolation movements.

How come u cant go heavy across the board/accessories too??.. Fatigue ?

you could if you want, but the program calls for 10-15 reps on accessories. im going to assume that its for conditioning because a full powerlifting meet is a marathon and you need a lot of muscle conditioning. but if you wanted to drop the rep range down to 3-5 or whatever then give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
