InstructionsFor squat, bench, deadlift, and overhead press, this program uses a modified version of the Greyskull linear progression. This means you do 3 sets of 5 reps, with the last set being 5+ reps with AMRAP (as many reps as possible).For bench press and overhead press, add 2.5 lbs (or 1.25 lbs per side) per session. If you don't have 1.25 lbs microplates, add 2.5 lbs per side every other session. For squat and deadlift, add 5 lbs (or 2.5 lbs per side) per session. Only add weight if you can maintain the prescribed RPE.If you can't complete all 3 sets of 5, take 10 lbs off the weight and restart.All exercises are based on Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), which is scale from 1-10. RPE 10 = can't do another rep before failure, RPE 9 = can do 1 more rep before failure, RPE 8 = can do 2 more reps before failure, etc.Add weight when you hit the top end of the rep range target and RPE is lower than prescribed.This program is set for 8 weeks but can be run indefinitely as long as you continue to see progress.
