by Luke M.
140 athletes joined
Program Description
A PPL Powerbuilding routine. This program will be excellent for adding both strength and size without super long workouts or excessive volume. Like all 531 routines, use your training max for all weight calculations. Your training max should be calculated as 90% of your true one rep max. For this routine, the 3s week and 5s week are switched. Don’t push the top set on the 5s week for a PR. The purpose of this structure is to keep you nice and prepared for the 5/3/1 week.
