Greyskull LP

Probably one of the best beginner programs to increase strength and muscle mass. Unlike Starting Strength and StrongLifts 5×5, last set is as many reps as possible. Progress with 2.5lb for upper body and 5 lbs for lower body exercises. If you can hit 10+ reps in the last set, then double the weight increase. To be performed on 3 day per week schedule, on non-consecutive days, i.e. Mon/Wed/Fri, Tues/Thurs/Sat or similar.

This program differs from StrongLifts and Starting Strength in three key areas:

  • GSLP puts upper body first then does lower body. This puts an emphasis on upper body but doesn’t neglect lower body at all. Some argue that doing squats at the beginning tires one out resulting in not the optimum bench press/overhead press.
  • While SS and SL stop at 5 reps, GSLP wants you to end the core movements with an As Many Reps As Possible (AMRAP) set. The advantages are
    • It gets your muscles to momentary exhaustion at a higher rep range, which will stimulate better hypertrophy growth.
    • Faster progression if you started too low. In other words it will reveal if your weight is way too low. If you can get 10+ reps even after 2×5 working sets then you double your increment. 
  • SS and SL ask you to repeat if you fail to complete a set. This keeps you at maximal effort level in the next workout. GSLP wants you to deload by 10%. The advantages are:
    • You should be able to get higher reps in the last set which will simulate better hypertrophy growth.
    • You will recover better because you’re not dealing with maximal weight.

The three workouts you need to perform in a week:

Day 1

Bench Press /Overhead press 3×5+
Squat 3×5+

Day 2

Bench Press /Overhead press 3×5+
Deadlift 1×5+

Day 3

Bench Press /Overhead press 3×5+
Squat 3×5+

+ indicates that the last set is as many reps as possible.

This is the base plan. One can add to it as one wishes. There are many variations that can be done such as the following:

Madcow 5×5 Training Program

One of the best intermediate programs when you can no longer make linear gains. This is a 3 day program in which weight is increased on a weekly basis to allow for more recovery time. All the sets are ramped up as in the weight is increased on every set. The second day is a light Squat day to provide extra physical and mental recovery for third day’s workout.
On day 2, you can either do overhead presses or incline presses. The two variations are as below:

Texas Method


One of the best intermediate programs designed by veteran coach, Mark Rippetoe. This program is recommended after linear progression is no more possible. The Texas Method balances the stress of increased weight and varied volume with optimal recovery time to enable intermediate lifters to keep progressing. The Texas Method is to be performed on 3 day per week schedule, on non-consecutive days, i.e. Mon/Wed/Fri, Tues/Thurs/Sat or similar. Day 1 is high volume day, day 2 is active recovery, and day 3 is high intensity:


Day 1: Volume Day
Squat 5 x 5 @ 90% of 5RM
Bench Press or Overhead Press 5 x 5 @ 90% 5RM
Deadlift 1 x 5 @ 90% 5RM


Day 2: Recovery Day
Squat 2 x 5 @ 80% of day 1 work weight
Overhead Press (if you bench pressed day 1) 3 x 5* or Bench Press (if OHP on day 1) 3 x 5 @ 90% previous 5 x 5 weight
Chin-ups 3 x Bodyweight
Back Extension or Glute-Ham Raise 5 x 10


Day 3: Intensity Day
Squat: warm-up, then work up to one single, new 5RM
Bench Press, (if you bench pressed day 1) or Overhead Press (if OHP on day 1): work up to one single, new 5RM
Power Clean or Power Snatch: 5 x 3 / 6 x 2


Progression:
Day 3 is intensity day. It focuses on the tonnage from day 1 into a new 5RM, or within 2% of it to allow for training-quality technique.

Wendler 531

Great program when you can no longer make linear gains and adding anything to your max seems impossible. This program works in cycles. Each training cycle lasts four weeks, with these set-rep goals for each major lift:

Week 1   3 x 5+
Week 2   3 x 3+
Week 3   5, 3, 1+
Week 4   3×5 Deload week

+ indicates that the last set is as many reps as possible (AMRAP).

This program would guarantee that you will be more stronger by the end of a 4 week cycle. This program focuses on improving the big lifts: squat, deadlift, bench press, and overhead press.

Each week you will perform the core lifts with different weights and repetitions:

  Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4
Set 1 65% x 5 70% x 3 75% x 5 40% x 5
Set 2 75% x 5 80% x 3 85% x 3 50% x 5
Set 3 85% x 5+ 90% x 3+ 95% x 1+ 60% x 5

+ indicates that the last set is as many reps as possible (AMRAP).

These percentages are for your training max, which is a percentage of your 1 Rep Max. The recommended percentage is 90%. So if your 1 RM for a squat is 100 lbs, you’ll train wil 90 lbs. And your Week 1’s lifting weight would be 65% of 90 lbs. 

After successfully completing a training cycle, you increase the training max. The recommended increases are 5 lb for upper body exercises, and 10 lbs for lower body exercises.

nSuns 531 LP

The nSuns Linear Progression program is a program by reddit user, nSuns. The program is inspired by other popular programs most notably Wendler’s 5/3/1. nSuns LP condenses the 4 weeks of 5/3/1 into a single high volume week. The five-day version allowed its writer to progress from a 905 to 1200+ Squat/Bench/Deadlift total in just a few months.

This program is supposed to be done on five consecutive days per week. Each week, increase your training max if you were able to complete all the reps. Progression is based on performance on the 1+ set every day:

– If you get 0-1 reps, do not increase your TM
– If you get 2-3 Reps, increase your TM by 5lb;
– If you get 4-5 reps, increase your TM 5-10lb
– If you get more than 5 Reps, increase your TM by 10-15lb

It is also recommended you do some assistance exercises each day with bodybuilding sets/reps, and can be changed to fit your needs. The main exercises are based on your training 1 RM. It is recommended that when you start, you start with 90% of your estimated 1 RM.
