^^^^I'm glad you got your deadlifts up. Good for ya.

I think, however, that this idea of a beginning pw program creates some confusion. If one is a beginner lifter, than he/she doesn't need a "powerlifting" program, beginning or otherwise. The idea of beginners doing 1 to 3 rep maximums in itself is really a no-no. Most strength adaptations in the beginning are non-specific. You dont need complicated specialized routines. If I had come up with this I would have called it a "introductory pw routine" or something like that.

Not that I am saying that you should stop doing something that is working for you although when I hear something like bench being higher than deads there is no way I would have recommended something like this. All a person who has neglected deads really needs to do to quickly get them past bench is to simply do deads once a week at any moderate rep range and not too much volume at first.

Basically, this is not a "beginner" program. Just asking a beginner to choose between all the different "accessories" is enough for me to call foul on that score. I don't think that the powerlifting forum in itself is something that beginners need to concern themselves with. Everything in here is more "advanced" techniques.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
