Hi everyone!
Its me again, the analysis freak. ;-)
This is Pavel's 80/20| Faleev's 5x5 with the exact same volume across the board but with 3x the frequency ala Grease the Groove.
Progression is the same. Add 10lbs when you complete all 5 sets of 5. Keep the load if you did not hit 5x5.

Frequency of Lifts in 8 wks
-Faleev is 16x Bench & Squat, 8x Deadlift.
-GtG is 48x B&S, 24x D.

I confirmed the math using a spreadsheet. The goal is clarity so pardon the redundancy.
Enjoy!
