I m supposed to max out on monday, but i might do it on sunday depending on how my back feels then check out the PL meet at the oval after lol | What happened to your back if you don't mind me asking?

today must've been one of those days where my body decided not to give a shit
deadlifts : 330lbs with 5x5 (it was only 10lbs heavier then last time but every set was a damn grudge like i was maxing it)
incline presses: 185lbs with 5x5 (still felt like it i wasnt giving it my all)
rows: 215lbs with 5x5 ( this felt better as the sets went along. last set felt like first set  )
quad extensions: 180lbs with 5x5. (too easy, basically throwing my legs around  )

I usually go a bit lighter on extensions and really control it and get a good burn. Always my last exercise for legs/lower body.

Eccentric part of the exercise for leg extensions are $$$ Don't need super heavy weights for isolation IMO

Can anyone give me some insight on this program I put together based off PHAT?
Not sure if this too much or too little because I never done any hypertrophy training
But what I did was kind of combine starting strength with hypertrophy and took out some of the exercises from PHAT that require machines that I do not have at the gym
Wanted to focus more on hypertrophy then just purely strength, but still looking to compete in powerlifting
Any changes, advice, or substations appreciated
8 reps instead of 5 for Bench because 5 reps never worked for me and I've been plateau'd for the longest time, but with higher reps I feel like I am progressing

8 reps instead of 5 for Bench because 5 reps never worked for me and I've been plateau'd for the longest time, but with higher reps I feel like I am progressing | Looks like a solid routine. I wouldn't change much. Everyone has their favourite exercises, but at the end of the day, it's not going to matter if you change out one isolation exercise for another... I really like how it has you squatting/benching three times a week. I'm a big fan of training the core lifts frequently.
I think it's a great idea for you to do something like this. Let's be honest, size matters. For someone like yourself who is still young, tall, and not filled out, a program like this will help you build a much needed, solid base. Until you put on some mass you will have bad leverages for lifting, and especially for bench pressing (the hardest of the big 3 lifts to improve for most people).
My only advice is to keep the intensity down at first. Start with lighter weights so you're not killing yourself on every set. The increase in volume will be a great stimulus by itself and you won't need to go extremely heavy to see good gains. After a while when you have increased your work capacity then gradually up the intensity. Increasing volume and intensity too much too soon is an easy way to overtrain.

Yeah, my goal is to throw in hypertrophy not only for size, but to help out my 3 lifts and to take advantage of my naturally high teenage testosterone levels
I kept squatting heavy back at 2 times a week as opposed to going heavy 3 times because I feel like I'm at the level where it won't help too much as opposed to isolating individual muscles that I don't work as much with just the 3 big lifts or are a weaker point (ex. my posterior chain). I've read articles and watched videos of powerlifter's saying that you cannot fix weak points in your squats for example by just squatting. You need to do accessory work to build up and strengthen up the weaker muscles. Thanks for the input really means a lot coming from you. I plan to keep intensity and weights low for the first 2-3 weeks depending how long it takes me to get used to all these new exercises

Very similiar program to Layne Norton. More of the big 3 lifts though.
I'm still doing Layne and even my fiance is doing a modified version.
Spotted a guy doing 100lb seated db press at my gym last night. He is 170lb. Beast!

I will be making a sticky for some of the more popular programs discussed in this thread so as to clear up some confusion and answer the few questions that often come up.

alright after squatting both low and high bar for a bit, i have some very basic observations about the relative pros + cons of each
high bar
pro:
- can hit lower depth than low bar squat.
- biggest carryover to olympic lifts
- pretty easy on the back if performed correctly
- easier to utilize the stretch reflex or the "bounce"
cons:
- generally speaking you can squat less with high bar (don't see many 700+ lb squatters who high bar squat)
- requires you to maintain a super upright torso
- might be tough on your knees
low bar
pros:
- more weight can be lifted
- more hip drahv
- easier on the knees
cons:
- difficult to perform efficiently
- harder on the back, need a belt if you wanna go heavy
- cannot go truely atg
generally speaking if you consider yourself more a PLer id go with low bar, and oly lifters should always stick with high bar. if you are neither do whats easier
