Lookin for a program to gain size, but at the same time increase all out strength... I wanna incorporate both, any ideas??
 
5/3/1 with an assistance template based off the Periodization Bible

WSB4SB

Layne Norton's PHAT if you're more into bodybuilding type stuff, but still want strength focused days.
 
Cube Method is good too. My trainer has me on a variation of it.
 
question, how do you do a variation of a program that has you vary it to fit your needs?

to me its like saying i drive a variation of a car. nope. its still a car. it may be made by a different manufacturer, it may be a different year, but its still a car, or a truck, or a van, etc. but notice how its still called car insurance even if you have a van or truck....
 
By variation, I mean; the only thing I took from the Cube Method, recently, was the rotation of ME/DE/RE each week. I did not follow his sets/reps, nor did I follow his overload/underload supplemental work how he stated should be followed, thus: my own variation of it.

I get your point. I was only stating that I didn't follow it how it's written in the book exactly, in case the OP were to look into it. Not sure me sayin variation is either right or wrong.

I do two heavy and one speed. Never a rep day. The fourth I use to train Strongman events specifically. But all of my accessory work is usually high rep, bodybuilder style. Hence, variation.

5/3/1 - simple and best of both worlds
 
Westside ! If you really want to focus on adding muscle size do max 3 and 5's instead of singles on Max Effort days.

A lot of people will take a program and change it. For example, I used Layne Norton's PHAT training for six months, but omitted the lower body hypertrophy days because I am not interested in increasing the size of my legs.
