Abbreviated Powerlifting Routine

August 31, 2006

This workout takes the concepts of abbreviated training and combines those with powerlifting to make a solid program that anyone can incorporate into their training regimen.

You will train each of the powerlifts once a week with assistance exercises thrown in for good measure. If you want, you can also add grip, neck and ab work into the mix. The choice, as always, is yours.

Abbreviated Powerlifting Routine


Day One:
Deadlifts
Curls

Day Two:
Bench Press
Pulldowns, Rows or Chins

Day Three:
Squats
Overhead Press

Notes: Use whatever set and rep scheme you feel comfortable with. It could be one or two sets to failure, 5 x 5, singles, doubles, triples – anything you want, so long as you’re consistent and work hard. Add weight to the bar whenever possible and get lots of rest, eat good food and drink plenty of water.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.
