friday

squats-90,90,95,110
incline-95,105,110,115
db curls-40x10 40x10 40x10
ez bar-60x8 60x8 60x8

Monday

Squats-90,95,95,100,110
bench-135x5 140x5 140x5 140x5 140x4
deadlift-135x5 145x5 155x5 175x5 185x5 1RM 205

thoughts:: 6 weeks so far and all of my old PRs are passed aside from curls.

my deadlift max went from 145 to 205
Bench is slowly but surely getting higher
Squats are moving up little by little

I like this routine so far I'm hoping to continue to see gains in the next few weeks. As long as gains are being made ill stay on the program.

There will come a time sooner or later when your 'gains' will not be quite as dramatic. As of now, you're lifting optimally for the first time IMO. The template is there...Frequency, compound lifts, squat dominant, ect. Powerlifters look for 5 lb PR's a lot of the time and that's still real progress.

If you DO top off with some PR's, I would KEEP the program, but make some subtle changes to continue progress keeping the same format.

Some examples:

- Monday everything becomes 3 x 8 for a month..

- Rotate out deadlifts for power cleans for a month..

- Rotate out bench press for close grip bench for a month..

The idea is to keep what you are doing relatively the same. Exercising ideas like these will keep you fresh, motivated, and most importantly PROGRESSIVE!

That being said, continue with everything like you are doing. Good job thus far.
