Looking at a M/W/F pulse of Epi - how does the below look to make some solid strength gains - with a bit of mass where possible?
Ive played around with this the last few weeks and have my weights sorted, but im just concerned that it just doesnt seem like much volume? Is this enough to gain some strength? When I can reach 5x5 on each set of the heavy days the following weeks heavy session goes up, as do the % days respectively.
Mon:
deadlift: 5x5 (all sets @ 5 rep max)
Bench: 5x5 (80% of 5 rm)
Squat: 1x5 (work up to 1 set @ 5rm)
Wed:
Bench 5x5 (all sets @ 5 rep max)
Squat: 5x5 (80% of 5 rm)
Rows: 1x5 (work up to 1 set @ 5rm)
Fri:
Squat: 5x5 (all sets @ 5 rep max)
Bench: 1x5 (work up to 1 set @ 5rm)
Deadlift: 5x5 (80% of 5 rm)
On top of this I will do extra shoulder work and a few sets of back exercises after each session since they recover very well for me.
