John Broz and his training philosophy

New Program

I have found myself a little off the beaten path and starting to just do whatever in the gym. I know from past experience that never works. I've started a new program that implements the 3 main lifts with TONS of volume as well as a few accessory exercises to enhance weak points. Yesterday was my first day and it kicked my butt. I ended up squatting a total of 20,570 lbs which is way more than I have ever done in the past. As well as benched a total of 12,175 lbs. My legs have been getting really sore lately and I think it might be from all of the heavy doubles and singles I've been doing for the last 2 months straight as well as sitting for almost 8 hrs. straight at my job. I am not sure if I am going to follow the plan to a T, but it at least gives me a base to work off of.

Squat
135x5
225x5
255x4
300x3,3
345x3,3,3,3,3
315x5,5,5,5,5
275x4
225x8

Bench Press
135x5
155x4,4
185x3,3
205x3,3,3,3,3
185x5,5,5,5,5
155x5
135x5

I ran out of time at this point so I didn't get the accessory work in. Oh well....
