I am posting because I am currently in a rut with my deadlift and bench progress. Had a long term goal of hitting 600 on deads and 315 on bench. I am stuck at 585 and 300 respectively. I hired a coach to write me a program, but it ended up leading to regression in both lifts. I work a very inconsistent job and I need a workout that I could complete either 5 days in a row or once a week. I want to incorporate some of Pavel's programming into my training, but I do not know if a program like PTTP will work when I am training on such an odd schudele. I have come up with the below workout, but I would like some advice on what weights I should start with and how I will know when to increase weight on the bar.
Deadlift, 4x2
Bench, 4x2
KB swings, 3x10
Pullups, 10x1
*My current plan is complete this workout as many times as possible in a week. Depending on my work schuedele I could complete this workout 1-5 times a week.
*My idea for a progression is to add 5 lbs to the lifts or add an extra pullup in when the workout is extremely easy.
*I also do a long hold of COC 1-1.5 after every set of deadlifts and bench.
I have never done a step progression program like this. I am a little nervous that I am either going to undershoot it or overshoot it. Is there any objective way y'all have about how many sessions I should do before I add weight? Do y'all think that this program will be sustainable? What weights do y'all think I should start with?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hopefully 600 lbs is coming soon
