I want to try out PTTP for a few weeks primarily with deadlift, military press, and bench press.
I am hoping some of you PTTP-smart people can give it a sanity check.
My goals: Be ready for SFL weekend Oct 13-15. I'm currently within the required strength tests and technique tests, but want to maintain that and build a bit more capacity/strength.
My background, and what I did most recently (short version, about 12 weeks of 5/3/1): Testing 1RM on multiple lifts
Here are my weights (in pounds) and calculations based on my understanding of the PTTP program:
So this is what I would plan to do based on my understanding of the program, and more or less the "Flexible Wave Cycle" on page 55, in weight x reps:
Monday: DL 170 x 5, DL 150 x 5, MP 60 x 5, MP 55 x 5
Tuesday: DL 175 x 5, DL 155 x 5, BP 70 x 5, BP 60 x 5
Wednesday: DL 180 x 5, DL 160 x 5, MP 65 x 5, MP 60 x 5
Thursday: DL 170 x 5, DL 150 x 5, BP 75 x 5, BP 65 x 5
Friday: DL 175 x 5, DL 155 x 5, MP 65 x 5, MP 60 x 5
Saturday: No lifting
Sunday: No lifting
Monday: DL 175 x 5, DL 155 x 5, MP 65 x 5, MP 60 x 5
Tuesday: DL 180 x 5, DL 160 x 5, BP 75 x 5, BP 65 x 5
Wednesday: DL 185 x 5, DL 165 x 5, MP 70 x 5, MP 65 x 5
Thursday: DL 175 x 5, DL 155 x 5, BP 80 x 5, BP 70 x 5
Friday: DL 180 x 5, DL 160 x 5, MP 70 x 5, MP 65 x 5
Saturday: No lifting
Sunday: No lifting
Etc....
I might do squats instead of deadlifts one of the days during the week, but other than that I'd like to do it as close as possible to how it's intended.
Does this look about right? I appreciate any advice!
