Time to push for that summer strength! The following routine is based on the 5/3/1 method of building strength, with adjustments to cater towards the favored "Push/Pull/Legs" style of training - and also incorporating hypertrophy sets to get a really good pump. This routine is not for beginners. I hope that, should you give this routine a shot, that you've been lifting for a couple of years - or at least have a good strength base built up. Each day is based around one of the big movements - and you will begin the workouts with strength rep ranges. We want to push heavy weights, and track progress in order to continue getting stronger. After each lift, we hit the same movement with 50%-60% of your max weight lifted, for 5 sets of 10 reps. This is nothing to sneeze at - it's going to push you. Then, we spend the rest of our time utilizing push/pull movements (depending on the day) along with hypertrophy rep ranges in order to get a good 'pump' and gain that size we all want (4 sets of 10 reps). You're going to use light weights here and focus on form. We want to really get the blood flowing to the targeted muscle group, and good form & high reps is the way to do this. On the hypertrophy movements, track the weight you use. If you feel you're going too light at the end of your 4th set - take note and add weight on your next session.
