Doug Hepburn Power Training Part 2

October 30, 2009

This is another workout from former World Champion and strongman legend Doug Hepburn.

Hepburn loved to try different routines and this basic power-building program was one of his favorites.

Monday/Wednesday
Squats 5 x 5
Deadlifts 5 x 5

Tuesday/Thursday
Bench Press 5 x 5
Overhead Press 5 x 5
Curls 5 x 5

Notes: If four days is too much, drop down to 2-3 days per week. Don’t change the set-rep scheme until after you’ve been doing the program for awhile. The  5 x 5 is one of the best strength and muscle building programs ever created. As always, increase poundages whenever possible, eat right, get adequate rest, and drink lots of water. Train hard and heavy and you can’t go wrong.

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.
